The Importance of The Wai Kru Ceremony in Muay Thai Culture
In Thailand, a Wai Kru ceremony is held every year where the students pay respect to their teachers. There are two known reasons for doing this ceremony: to express gratitude to the teachers for teaching the students well, and for the students to gain merit and good fortune in the future.
The Tradition Applied in Muay Thai
This tradition has been adapted and applied in Muay Thai training. While this national combat sport of Thailand appears dangerous, brutal and bloody, at the heart of this sport is a peaceful country that gives importance and value to the strict code of respect and hierarchy. It is inherent in Thai culture to give respect on the basis of age and status as manifested by the respect students have for their teachers. In Thailand, the common practice is to respect elders and those in commanding positions.
Wai Kru Ceremony in Muay Thai
The Wai Kru ceremony is an important ceremony in Muay Thai. It happens at the start of every Muay Thai match, the end of which will signal the start of the fight. It is common knowledge in Thailand that no Muay Thai match can ever commence without performing this traditional ceremony. Prior to the start of a fight, the Muay Thai fighter must pay his respects to his teacher (trainor), and other respected trainers who are associated with the fighter’s training camp. This ritual is called Ram Muay or Wai Kru. Not only is this ritual an expression of respect to the teachers or trainors, but also as a way of advanced apologizing to the King for the anticipated brutality of the fight which is about to happen. Muay Thai was usually arranged for the King’s entertainment in the past.
The Traditional Wai Kru Ceremony
For those who have lived in Thailand for a long time and has gotten to understand their culture, the Wai Kru ceremony is pretty much about the trainor and the province where the fighter is from. Those information are understood from the fighter’s movements and gestures. The Muay Thai fighter wears a head band called Mongkhon including armbands called “pra jiad” while performing the Wai Kru ceremony. Traditional Thai kick boxing music called Pleng-Boran accompanies the Ram Muay.
Adopting Wai Kru in Muay Thai
The ritual is generally observed and practiced in Thailand by Thai fighters. But what about Muay Thai fighters who are foreign nationals?
This code of conduct is adopted in every Muay Thai fight. Regardless of nationality or origin of the fighter, if he takes up Muay Thai, he is in essence adopting a part of Thai culture. And wherever the fight or match is held, the fighter, irrespective of nationality, is representing his club or Muay Thai training camp and therefore should observe proper behavior and respect towards the elders.
As a Muay Thai fighter, a foreigner is obliged to respect the codes, traditions, rituals and ceremonies they learned while training for Muay Thai.
How Muay Thai Came to Be
Did you know the origin of Muay Thai?
There are many different versions of how Muay Thai came to be. It has been a part of Thailand’s history for hundreds of years. But all sources agree that Muay Thai was the most effective fighting skill used by the Thai warriors on the battlefield. It was more fatally effective than the weapons it replaced.
One of the historical theories believed by many Thai people is that the art of Muay Thai developed as they moved down from China. The Thai people honed their fighting skill in the struggle for land. The other theory is that the Thai people developed Muay Thai to defend the land and the people from rampant invasion threats.
King Naresuan Era in 1584
In Thailand, national issues were decided through Muay Thai contests and the first great interest in Muay Thai as a sport was during the era of King Naresuan. This was known as the Ayuddhaya period. Every soldier trained in Muay Thai and as the King himself did, the soldiers could use it, too. Muay Thai slowly moved away from its root in the ‘Chupasart’. The new fighting techniques were evolving. “Chupasart” was the manual written which emphasized the use of each body part.
King Prachao Sua (1697 – 1709 AD)
During Tiger King ‘s reign, the nation was at peace. But with the great love for the combat art, the King fought incognito in local village contests, often beating the local champions. And since the nation is at peace, the King ordered the army to train in Muay Thai to keep them busy. Muay Thai became the favorite sport and pastime of the King, the army and the people. People from all walks of life trooped to training camps. Every village staged its prize fights and champions. Every fight became a contest of local pride and a betting tradition which remained with the sport until today where large sums are wagered on the fight’s outcome.
King Rama V Era
During the reign of King Rama V, most of the Muay Thai matches were Royal Command fights. Muay Thai fighters were rewarded with military titles from the King. Titles like Muen Muay Mee Chue from Chaiya or Muen Muay Man Mudh from Lopburi were titles earned from the King and at the time they were much prized and respected titles, having a meaning comparable to Major of Boxing. Today, such titles meant nothing.
King Rama VI Era
It was during the reign of King Rama VI when the standard ring surrounded by ropes was used. During the era, timekeeping by clock was also used.
Modernization
King Rama VII (1925 – 1935) developed and implemented codified rules for Muay Thai. The first boxing ring was built in 1921 at Suan Kularp. Muay Thai fights have referees and rounds were timed by kick. Modern gloves were used during training and in boxing matches against foreigners.
Muay Thai had so much success it has become the de facto style of choice for competitive stand-up fighters. Western practitioners have incorporated much more powerful hand striking techniques from boxing.
In 1993, the International Federation of Muay Thai Amateur was inaugurated and it became the governing body of amateur Muay Thai. There are 128 countries in IFMA and it is recognized by Olympic Council of Asia.
Two years later, in 1995, World Muay Thai Council was set up by the Royal Thai Government sanctioned by the Sports Authority of Thailand. World Muay Thai Council was the oldest professional organization that sanctions the sport of Muay Thai.
Muay Thai has now progressed into one of the most preferred martial art forms in many countries all over the world.
