This study aims to deconstruct Nélio Naja’s discourse, which is widely accepted in Muay Thai, about how he knew the sport. The following questions were asked: Where did Nélio Naja knew Muay Thai? How was the Nélio Naja myth produced? To answer them, hybrid oral history was used as a method of investigation. Through the concepts of collective memory and myth, evidence showed that the Sawamu cartoon series inspired him to develop the sport. By socializing with his students, he instilled some ideas about how he would have known the sport, which were passed on from student to student and crystallized his historical version about how he got to know Muay Thai.
