Training in Muay Korat in ancient times, although lacking specialized equipment as seen today, was fundamentally integrated into the daily activities and physical labor of the people. The training was embedded in the routine movements associated with their livelihoods and lifestyle, involving exercises with tools, daily activities, and natural environmental elements. This included tasks such as drawing water, carrying water, pounding rice, splitting firewood, climbing coconut trees, and climbing betel nut trees. Train the body’s sensory perception to remain alert, such as through exercises like running through fields, lying on dew-soaked grass in the morning, meditating while focusing on the rising sun without blinking, Run in shallow water while keeping your gaze on your feet and lifting your feet high. Running through deep water, Alternate between the left and right hands, striking the water to splash into the eyes while keeping the eyes open, Using a loincloth to wrap the hands for sparring with a training partner, Using a lime tied to a string and suspended from a branch to practice punching and elbow strikes, ensuring that the lime does not hit the face or become entangled in the string, The use of banana trunks for training, such as practicing kicks without causing the banana trunk to fall, etc. (Chao Wathayotha, 2022)

  Muay Korat training, derived from the verses of Khru Bua Wat Im, involves natural training methods as follows: (Jarasdej Ulit et al., 2013).

       1. Wake up early and punch upward into the air with maximum force to pull yourself up and sit upright. This practice helps to strengthen punches. 
       2. In the morning when washing the face, pour water into both hands and then bend the head down to the water in the hands. This practice helps to develop familiarity and quick reflexes for evading attacks.
       3. Stare at the rising sun until you can no longer keep your eyes open. This practice helps to strengthen the eyes. 
       4. While diving, keep your eyes open in the water and use your elbows to push the water until you float to the surface. Regularly practice punching, elbow strikes, and knee strikes in the air to strengthen your arms and legs. 

    Popular training locations in ancient times included the governor’s residence, temples, teachers’ houses, and various boxing camps. Those who studied Muay Korat had to exert considerable effort in learning and practicing until they achieved proficiency. 

    In addition to training in physical strength and the techniques of Muay Thai, ancient boxing masters closely monitored the conduct of each disciple. They cared for and nurtured their disciples as if they were their own children, educating them to adhere to moral principles, remain humble, and show gratitude to benefactors. They ensured that disciples did not become arrogant or misuse their skills inappropriately. Thus, training in Muay Thai was beneficial and valuable in developing not only physical strength but also emotional and social aspects, fostering various virtues within the practitioners (Office of the National Culture Commission, 1997). 

    Muay Korat is distinguished by its use of powerful techniques to counter the styles of other schools, known as “the method of combining force”, “the method of transferring force” and “the method of reversing force.” These techniques involve softening heavy attacks and amplifying lighter ones into more intense and powerful strikes.
