Muay Thai from the Battlefields to the Modern Rings was launched in 2020, making it the largest research ever done in Portuguese on the subject. Covering its history from the origin of the Thai people, through the creation of the kingdom of Siam, the Kings, legends that contributed to the creation of Muaythai, as well as the regional styles of Muay until the arrival of modern times.

In this new edition, with 50 pages more than the original edition, you will delve into new subjects that have never been translated into Portuguese before, such as research into women in muayhai, the oldest documented accounts of muaythai, the oldest photos, regional styles and what we really know about them, among others.

Get access to the first book in Portuguese/English that covers the history of muaythai in the right way, linking it to the creation of the Kingdom of Sukhothai, the fall of the Khmer empire, the Buddhist and Hindu influence on the creation of the martial art, up to its transformation into a combat sport influenced by English boxing.

Tiago Simão is editor-chief of the Acervo Thai portal, today Latin America's largest portal on muaythai, Thailand and culture. His work is recognized by the World Boxing Council (WBC) in its division for Brazil, as well as by the Kru Muaythai Association (KMA) in its Brazilian division.

He is currently working on his third book on the subject, thus forming a trilogy. These are;

  • Muaythai: from the battlefields to the modern ring (2020)
  • The Golden Age of Muaythai: 1970 - 1997 (2022)
  • Muaythai: The Ropes of War (2024)
