COMBAT MUAY BORAN
Traditional skills, a modern martial art

Behind the world-renowned combat sport, Thai boxing, or Muay Thai, there is a rich spectrum of traditional unarmed Thai fighting skills. Muay (Thai) Boran is an umbrella term for these skills.

 

IMBA Muay Boran is a modern combination of traditional fighting skills and is based on three technical pillars:

  • Combat Muay Boran, the application of traditional unarmed Thai fighting skills to modern combat and sport.

  • IMBA Lert Rit, the Thai military's close combat system applied to civilian use.

  • IMBA Muay Pram, an ancient Siamese clinch fighting style modernized with scientific principles.

 

International Muay Boran Academy or IMBA teaches Muay Boran by combining traditional fighting skills with modern training methods. In our classes, you will learn each of the above-mentioned pillars.

What separates Muay Boran from Muay Thai?

The sports have many similarities, such as the use of the same body weapons, similar techniques (kicks, knees, elbows, throws) and stand-up wrestling (clinch), but there are also differences.

 

Muay Thai is a combat sport subject to official rules and is scored like boxing. Although Muay Thai is a dangerous sport, the rules protect the fighters from worse injuries and the dirty tricks of the opponent

IMBA Combat Muay Boran on the other hand, is a modern martial art derived from traditional unarmed fighting skills, which aims to remove the opponent from the game quickly and efficiently. In a real situation, you can expect the opponent to try any number of dirty tricks, such as breaking joints, strangling, or kicking sensitive spots, which are out of the question in sports. IMBA Combat Muay Boran also prepares you for these threats.

Practice & progress at your own pace

IMBA Muay Boran is suitable for all sizes, ages, fitness levels and genders; no previous martial arts or sports background is required.

 

Develop your balance, strength, endurance, mobility, speed and agility through training. Precisely because of its versatility, Muay Boran is also well-suited for supporting training for other martial arts or sports.

 

In IMBA Muay Boran, progress is evaluated by Khan levels:

  • 1-7 basic

  • 8-10 advanced

  • 11-13 elite

  • 14 master

 

In the Khan examination, the student shows that they know the combat forms and attack and defense techniques belonging to the level.

Versatile training after the basic course

After the basic course, you can freely participate in all the weekly workouts included in IMBA's training program, such as:

  • Technique (Mai Muay)

  • Equipment and Pads (Som Pao)

  • Application (Len Chern)

  • Sparring (Som Khu)

  • Combat physique

​

By putting together a training program suitable for you, you can emphasize, for example, deepening your knowledge of the sport, improving your physical condition (strength, speed, mobility and other characteristics typical of the sport), self-defense techniques or sparring. The training schedule rotates in six-week periods.

Sparring is an elemental part of training

The advanced group includes more challenging techniques and practice of different scenarios.

 

If you wish, you can also participate in sparring, where learned techniques are put into practice with a training opponent.

 

Sparring is light, which means punches and kicks are delivered, but no force is used.

 

Many feel that sparring is the most best way to train, but you can skip it if you want.

What will you learn in the basic course?

During the basic course, the focus is above all on improving fitness and basic techniques:

  • You will learn how to use the nine body weapons

  • You will learn power production from your body based on physics and anatomy

  • You will learn straightforward attack and defense techniques in a safe environment

  • You learn to act in typical self-defense situations

  • Your fitness, as well as your mobility and physical performance will increase

  • You get to know our club's activities and other trainers and you get to have fun while training!

 

You don't need any special equipment for the basic course - a t-shirt, shorts and a drinking bottle are enough.

Experienced fighters: Those who have practiced martial arts for more than half a year can, if they wish, can directly join the advanced group for training.
