The vicious styles of Thai boxing, which utilizes almost every
part of the body to fend off an opponent, is what makes the sport
unique from world boxing. Boxers are allowed to punch, kick, shove,
and push by using their feet, legs, fists, knees, and elbows to
attack the opponent above, as well as below the waist.
Before the start of any match, each boxer performs a pre-fight ceremony
to honor and show respect for their trainers, religion, and the
sport itself. The ceremony involves a special kind of dance, accompanied
by strident Thai boxing music, and the shouts of gamblers in the
stands, betting on the outcome.
