We, as in our club members, have to perfrom the RamMuay if we wanna fight. I think its also payin homage to the spirits of the ring and your trainers as much as a buddhist ritual. Westerners fighting in Thailand (most of the timepresuambly taught, at least for the last part, of their training) by Thais always seem to do it.
Armbands..well our club uses them as a grading system, which the Thais dont use, so dunno...
I wouldn't bother worrying about it...if the club you fight for does it, do it, if it don't - don't
For Gods sake don't just make up your own based on what you've seen others do just cos ya kickboxer fighting Thai rules....just do what ya trainer says
