Muay Thai in England had a contradictory origin, the introduction was through Master Sken who was a pupil of Taek Kwon Do (TKD) Master named Sook Joon Ahn. Although Thai, Sken (Sken Kaewpadung), Toddy (Thohsaphol Sitiwatjana) and Master Woody (Chinawut Sirisompan) were actually dissidents of Taekwondo, that is, their technique did a mix of Boxing and Taekwondo, allied to a technique of Boxing and Muaythai of basic level, of his friend Master Toddy. In the initial period many athletes of the British TKD were fighting in the Muaythai, precisely because of this influence of Master Sken, where a different "plastic" or techniques that did not seem of the MuayThai were perceived in that period and yes TKD in the events of England, very kick high, jumping, spinning, restricted use of knees, had no elbow, little clinch and rarely did a knockout. With internal disagreements, Toddy and Woody begins to form their own group, for even with their Muaythai only Basic level. Some time after such facts is implanted in England the Royal Thai Airlines, which culminates with the coming and flight of Thailand with this the immigration of several Thais. Factors added, which as an immediate consequence, have improved the technical level of the British Muaythai, so much so that they had a great world champion, the fighter Ronnie Green who was the first Western to unify the titles of KickBoxing and Muaythai.
With this these Thais who actually originated in Muaythai pass the informs that Sken, Toddy and Master Woody. They were not Muaythai fighters and had never fought at Muaythai in Thailand. So much so that none of the three have record of fight, photographic or film. And neither Mauythai event in Thailand.
The solution found by them was to speak that they teach not Muaythai and yes Muay Boran, the ancient art of Thai warriors for battle on the battlefield. It was then that they resolved to revive Muay Boran, who was in danger of extinction. Consequently, he not only persevered in his own personal formation in this art, but began to teach his students in the same way. With this as no one knew what was Muay Boran no one could dispute what they were taught.
In this way he began to insert graduations in the Muaythai (something that does not exist) invented uniform saying that it should be used in Muay Boran because they were traditional Thai uniform which is also a lie.
To make it official they decided to create Muay Boran organizations. Woody creates the Kru Muay Thai Association (KMA) and later the World Muay Boran Federation (WMBF).
With the success and worldwide fame of Muaythai achieved in MMA competitions. Woody advised by Iranian fighting promoter Sasan Ghosairi decided to create the World Muay Thai Organization (WMO) so they could sell Muaythai's cursor and graduations around the world.
