This is a Muay Boran demonstration. This isn't actually a fight and the guys aren't trying to kill each other, but it really looks like it! Muay Boran translates from Thai to "Ancient Boxing" and is predecessor to modern Muay Thai. Many techniques from Muay Boran are forbidden in present day because they are considered too brutal and even in Thailand it's very difficult to find a school teaching old Muay Boran.
