Good find Dave ;)

Regarding what they train or compete in, some may say...

Muay Thai Boxing
Muay Thai
Thai

None are incorrect per se, and you understand what is meant, and what you would expect if you participated or spectated.

K-1 style Kickboxing
K-1 Style
K-1

But people generally understand that both are different sports / formats ( millions of people globally follow K-1, GLORY, ItsShowtime events etc.. ).

Some gyms in Thailand now recognise that there is a wider market than just strictly offering Muaythai, as there are also gyms in Thailand offering training in the sport of M.M.A.

If you won a Lumpini Stadium title, you would be a Muaythai Champion.

If you won a UFC title, you would be an M.M.A. Champion.

If you won a 'K-1' ( K-1 regard itself as a Kickboxing promotion ) or 'GLORY' or ITsSHOWTIME title, you would be a Kickboxing Champion.

If you were a Muaythai fighter competing in an MMA contest. You could still be classed as a Muaythai fighter.

If you were a Muaythai fighter competing in a Kickboxing contest, you could still be classed as a Muaythai fighter.

But different combat-sport formats should be recognised as being different.

So if you have a Muaythai contest on show, you are promoting a Muaythai bout.

If you have a K-1 rules contest on a show, you are promoting a Kickboxing bout.

Thailand, now seems to recognise this with camps offering sports specific training for

...Muaythai, K-1 and M.M.A.

They could offer 'Muay Thai Boxing', 'K-1 style Kickboxing' and 'Mixed-Martial-Arts' - but all of that would be a bit of a mouthfull!

Muaythai, K-1 and M.M.A. would easily suffice to most Europeans.

All good ;)
