Kru Sean Douglas teaching Jonah and Marshal Jeurgens the Ram Muay in preparation for their first fight in Thailand on 11 July 2017. The Ram Muay is a tradition within Muay Thai that is done to show respect prior to a fight. Each fight house has elements that are specific to their house alone and historically a fighter’s affiliation could be determined from their Ram Muay. The Ram Muay combines flowing movements and components of war dance designed to proclaim their strength and prowess in order to intimidate the opposition. It also allows the audience to judge the fighter’s flexibility and spirit in advance of the fight.
