Today's boxing stance



This is a Thai boxing stance. It is very similar if not the same to their Cambodian counterpart. Usually this stance is not in a fight but a display before the bout. Most likely the rhythm tapping stance of boxing is derived from this form which we see before a fight in Thwai Kru or Wai Kru dances.

This photo look very similar to the ancient carving below.
