About Us

 

Bangladesh Muaythai Association (BMA) is the official national body promoting and developing the art and sport of Muay Thai across Bangladesh. Founded in 2015, our mission is to bring the spirit of Muay Thai to every corner of the country—from local gyms to the global stage.

Muay Thai, known as the “Art of Eight Limbs,” is more than a combat sport. It is a lifestyle rooted in discipline, tradition, respect, and strength. At BMA, we believe in these values, and we pass them on to every athlete, student, coach, and fan who becomes part of our community.
