R 0 & h " First, let me remind everyone that Muay Thai is my life and has been since I was a child. Everything I have done has revolved around Muay Thai and I was honoured by the Thai Minister of Sport Culture in March this year for my service to Muay Thai. So, I love and believe in Muay Thai as much as anyone else.
But true Muay Thai is not just what we see at shows. To think otherwise means one does not understand the true purpose of Muay Thai which is as much mental and spiritual as it is physical. As a religion is unchanged even without the rituals, is Muay Thai any less if the Ram Muay is not performed at some shows?
The entire MSA leadership team spent hours debating the phasing out of Ram Muay, not because we did not agree at the outset that it was the right thing to do, but because we knew the controversy it would create. Our decision is just one part of a holistic program of upgrading the appeal of Muay Thai to a much wider audience. We genuinely believe that as a spectator fight sport; as a form of self defence; AND for cultivating character (and role models - which is MSAs mission), Muay Thai is second to none. However, as we all know, just having 'the best mouse trap in the world' does not mean that the world will beat a path to our door. We need to go out and grab the attention of our target market by showing them upfront the most spectacular aspects of Muay Thai - plus the empowering respect that this art engenders. Super shows are a Trojan horse to get those who are not already in love with Muay Thai to go, "hhmmm, this is good, I need to find out more...". This is about getting them excited, entertained and then, step by step, hooked. In this way, everyone involved in Muay Thai will benefit.
Entertainment and boredom don't mix. To the uninitiated, they know that the shows will run for c. 5 hours. They do NOT want to be bored. They want every minute to be memorably enjoyable - and to leave on time (or earlier!). So, we need to work out what the majority (not just the hard core fans) want and then come up with a solution to deliver this in the most impactful way subject to the hugely punitive time constraints we have to comply with. Keeping the Ram Muay can easily mean losing 3 fights - something neither the audience nor the fighters would want. (Note: but, the fighters will be doing the traditional 3 bow Wai Kru.)
