I am curious to know if Muay Thai uses belts to rank their skill level. I know that a lot of arts use Belts, but I'm not too sure if Muay Thai does. Can anyone tell me how Muay Thaiers are ranked, if not by belts

Thanks

I dont think so.
Though I do know that those arm band things above their elbows are not only blessings but also used to show rank.

As far as I know the arm bands are the closest thing MT has to an "offical" ranking system. There is no belt system.

MT is a system where tradition and religious styled pratices are held above any kind of formal rank(personal opnion here). Examples are; Kuen Khru, Wai Khru, Kuen Suu Weitee, Wai Khru Ram Muay, and Pitee Tod Mongkon.
