American Muay Thai is a relatively new combat sport that has been gaining popularity in recent years. The history of American Muay Thai dates back to the 1970s when a group of martial arts enthusiasts started experimenting with various martial arts techniques. During this time, they were introduced to the art of Muay Thai, which originated in Thailand.

In the early days, American Muay Thai was not well-known outside of martial arts circles. However, it started gaining recognition as more and more fighters began incorporating it into their training regimen. This led to the formation of several organizations dedicated to promoting and advancing the sport.

Today, American Muay Thai is practiced by thousands of people across the United States and is even represented in professional fighting leagues such as UFC and Bellator MMA.
