Muay Thai is not first kickboxing martial art
Bokator Khmer kickboxing from cambodia is the predecessor of Muay Thai and Muay Boran (ancient muay thai style ). Pradal Serey is modern day Bokator in cambodia. Bokator is an ancient martial art that has been around 800 to 1000 years before thailand was even a country. (note: thailand became thailand around 1400 ad ). Cambodia, or at least the empire has been around since 200 ad. The Thai's borrowed Cambodian language, clothes, music, and why wouldnt they borrow the martial art? This already known as a fact that they borrowed this from the cambodians ( the cambodians were influenced by India). Dont believe? type it in yahoo or google and read about it. type "bokator" or "pradal serey" and read about it. All these Thai fighters from Thailand such as Baukaw (k-1 muay thai champion) and Tony Jaa( the thai movie star) are from Surin, Thailand. Surin, Thailand has a MAJORITY of ethnic cambodians living there. 70 percent of them still speak

I've never head of anybody claiming muay thai to be the first kickboxing art, as a matter fact, anybody who knows a bit about it knows that its predecessor is muay boran. All martial arts are variations of previous ones, (karate from kung fu for instance, or kickboxing from muay thai, bjj from jiu-jitsu or judo) i could go on and on.
Thanks for the info though, it's always good to learn something new.

Perhaps you were having a conversation with yourself and accidently tilted your head and your little thoughts came flowing out onto your keyboard. I think at that point you then managed to find the "enter"button and tormented me and other serious martial artists with your idle ramblings. However; please dont mistake my reply for critisism, for any wisdom is welcome here. So if you manage to find any, please, feel free to post again
