About Muay Thasao
Muay Thasao is an ancient regional branch of Thai Muay Boran from northern Thailand (Uttaradit Province). It is characterized by high speed, light stance and lightning-fast, flexible kicks. The proverb says: 'Fist from Korat, intelligence from Lopburi, stance from Chaiya and kicks from Thasao.'
