Frankly speaking it is a bit different from the common boxing because there are punches with the help of knees and elbows and those punches and boxes are forbidden according to the rules of box common for European people, the most common and popular kind of box.
The main idea of Thai boxing is that a boxer has to be mild as a lamb and wild as a tiger and this description is the whole core of Thai boxing. Before the fight starts boxers perform the peculiar dance and it is like the ritual dance for them. And that dance is an obligatory part of Thai boxing, they never start a fight without it and dancing fighters are polarities for fighting.
