KARD-CHUEK

Just so you know….What is Muay Kard Chuek?

“Muay Kard Chuek” is a traditional Thai martial art. Combatants fought with their hands bound in rope up to their elbows to protect their fingers and wrists. Their bodies are the only weapon they have, specifically hands, feet, knees, elbows, as well as the head and rear end. Back then, people brought ropes to be consecrated, with the belief that the rope will become sacred. After a fight, fighters will dry the rope in the sun and preserve it for safekeeping.

Preserving fighting ropes is another combat strategy. If ropes are dried well, they will be stiff and sharp enough to inflict damage on opponents with several punches all while abiding to the rules.
