Martial Arts History Musuem – Muay Thai Exhibit

The Martial Arts History Museum located in Burbank, California is dedicated to promoting the history and culture behind the various martial arts disciplines from around the globe. Competitive ACE, the sole U.S. distributor of Namman Muay, has been laying the groundwork to establish a Muay Thai exhibit within the Museum since 1999. Apart from distributing the wondrous and magical Thai liniment oil that is Namman Muay to all of us injury prone nakmuays, Competitive ACE’s goal is support the growth and development of Muay Thai in the U.S.

Competitive ACE can use your help by simply helping spread the word throughout the Muay Thai community about the ongoing efforts to attain several important artifacts for the Muay Thai exhibit at the Martial Arts History Museum. Your efforts in getting the word out, will help the initiative to give Muay Thai its rightful place in the museum. Once this exhibit is in place tourists, students, and practioners of all martial arts from around the world will be exposed to the beauty that is the sport of Muay Thai. This is a huge opportunity.

Our good friend and Competitive ACE president, Anthony Salcedo, recently met with Royal Thai officials to give them a tour of the space where the exhibit will be placed and hopefully garner their support.

Competitive ACE will post updates about the ongoing efforts to create the exhibit on their official web page at Competive Ace – Namman Muay
