Boxing is a quite popular sport in many countries. Two fighters wear boxing gloves on their hands. The boxers hit each other until one is knocked out or until the final bell rings. Each part of the fight is three minutes long. It is called a round.
However, Thai boxing is different.
The boxing match begins with music. Then the two fighters kneel and pray(跪地祈祷)to God. Next, they do a slow dance that copies the movements of Thai boxing. During this dance, each fighter tries to show the other that he is the best.
The fight begins. In Thai boxing, the fighters can kick with their feet and hit each other with their elbows(手肘)and knees. Of course, they hit with their hands, too. Each round is also three minutes long. Then the boxers have a two-minute rest. Most boxers can have only five rounds because this kind of fighting is very difficult. But the audience(观众)usually feel very excited while watching the matches, shouting and cheering.
Thai boxing began 500 years ago. If a soldier(士兵)lost his weapons(武器) in a war, he needed to fight with just his body. The soldiers learned how to use all the parts of their bodies. In 1560, the Burmese army caught Naresuen, the King of Thailand, in a war. King Naresuen was a very good boxer. He won his freedom from Burma by beating all the best Burmese fighters.
