HISTORY

Muay Thai was introduced to Brazil in 1979 by Nelio Naja as “Thai Boxing” and grew to become the discipline we practice today.

Our Muay Thai belt system is under the Brazilian Muay Thai Confederation that was established in 1980 by Master Rafael Cordeiro’s Grand Master, Rudimar Fedrigo.

The Brazilian Muay Thai Confederation (CBMT) adopted a belt system for Brazilian Muay Thai to structure the progression of practitioners and implement discipline.
