MDL HAWAI’I KAI SEPT 2026
Honolulu, United States
Description
The MUAY-THAI DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE or “MDL” represents a revolutionary, paradigm shift on the approach to the growth and ethical development of the sport of Muaythai.
The MDL is a league unlike anything before it. We encourage athletes to develop their knowledge and skills through constant education, innovation and evolution through competition.
The MDL is a true Muaythai sports league and feeder system comprising a series of events and class models based on experience. Athletes start with light contact (no KO's), technical sparring scrimmages. These scrimmages offer a safe environment and direct feedback system (DFS) that will set the foundation for athletes to grow and improve, preparing them to excel at higher levels of the sport.
From E and D classes to Competitive Class tournaments, Pro-AM events and true A Class; Professional Muay Thai. International Opportunities will also be available for ALL stages, ages and classes! BUT EVERYONE STARTS OUT AS A BEGINNER!
Starting with a clearly defined set of rules and scoring criteria, to an outlined ascension model and a patented matching algorithm. The MDL will also provide structured educational models so that everyone -from novice to pros and including coaches, officials, parents and casual fans --- can have a TRUE understanding of what the SPORT of Muaythai is, allowing EVERYONE the opportunity to enjoy.
The MDL is “The GOLD STANDARD” of your Muaythai experience!
