What is a Prajead?

Unlike the Mongkhon, the Prajaed is worn on both arms as an armband of traditional Muay Thai fighters. It represents the courage of the fighters as they enter into a fight - reminding them of their training and giving them strength and courage. There is however a difference in how the Prajaed is made. As the Mongkhon is made by the teacher and given to the student, the Prajaed on the other hand is made, designed, and created by the students themselves -showcasing their creativity, courage, and confidence in themselves. Perhaps you can say that it is a way for these students to show how much they see themselves in the art of Muay Thai. Now, whenever a student wears his prajead, it shows the pride the student has towards the art and gives him the motivation to perform to his greatest potential and ability.
