Muay, Thai Boxing footage from the 1920's. This is the rarest Muay Thai boxing footage around. I got it from the Bangkok Film Archive. I had to get it transferred from celluloid on to digital. I also included a trailer of Fight or Flight.

I think the reason behind the old style Muay Thai is that they used to use elbows for blocking ,smash you're hands against an elbow block without globes and you're hand is broken ,could be the reason behind the bandages .Muay Thai started as a martial art for war not as a sport with globes .

@nakmuaytiger by the way both of the guys fight i'd say it is korat vs. lopburi. too bad lopburi is dead

@Blueprophet: It was not so much the boxing technique as it was the boxing glove. The glove really transformed what boxing used to look like to what it looks like to day. The same thing occurred in the late 1920's to MT when the "modern" boxing glove was introduced to the sport..

martial arts is diverse boxing is in a way but not like the types of martial arts take kung fu for example with different styles inside its own art.

boxing stance is not the same as when it came out either watch a jack johnson fight.

Wow, you can see from this old footage and others from other martial art styles, how much western boxing(50s & up) has changed all martial arts in terms of stances, movement and combos in full contact fighting. This looks nothing like current ring and barenuckle matches in action today. Reason being...boxing. How was Asia not able to invent western style boxing naturally centuries ago? Tradition...TOO MUCH tradition AND subservience to the MASTERS. IMO of course.
