Wise Master

well, that solves that. now i just need to translate the rest of the movie...

Well okay, i seen the movie about 30+ times.

Firstly the movie starts in a village nongpado ''nong'' means lake ''pado'' is the name.

It will take long to explain.

Ongbak was a child with no mother or farther, he was left outside a watt that means temple so the monk looks after him and train him muay thai, the monk was a mt fighter before but he killed an oponet in the ring so he became a monk. Am thai so I can explain for you.

Most of the movie speaks north eastern thai language and thai.

Tony jaa and his freind the bald guy real name is ''mom'' that how you pronuced it. Try to find the bhuddas head and meet these bad people.

The final oponent ongbak have to face was a thai guy but the movie said it was a burmess guy 9in the movie).

I'll explain later the english version I seen is not vey accurate with the langauge spoken thai have 46 letter while english have only 26.

When the movie starts Tony the real hero name pratice moves from muaythai.com i.e. ''yanyotee''

with ''jolacre fad han'' jolacare means crocodile fad means hit han means tail or spinning thai back kicked.

I'm still very new to karate, today was only my 7th lesson (hour) so I'm still at the stage where I feel very out fo place and often question what I'm doing and if I'm kidding myself thinking I can progress.

 

Anyway, todays training didn't go well, no particular incident made it a bad session, i jus seemed to be so far off the pace it was unreal. I seem to be the only one who can't do stuff, and I know that it's mostly because I'm by far the most inexperienced student there, but that doesn't make me feel any better.

 

It's very basic stuff like getting used to the physical side like grabbing, it's still very alien to me. And the fact that 7 lessons in I am still more often than not looking around at everyone else during the katas.

 

Don't get me wrong, I didn't want instant results, it's not that. I'm prepared to work at it for years and I understand it takes dedication, it's just that sometimes it feels like no matter how long I try I'll never pick it up.

 

What do you guys do after a bad lesson? Is it a common thing? Do you ever feel down? I can't wait for the next one so i can put things right.

How accurate do you think ong bak is?

I have alot of videos but one stands out is ongbak he's very good at muy thai and he slso study fitness in school so hes very acrobat he can jump overs cars and so on to me he is the coolest martial artist so far.

The movie relses was year 2003 i had the Thai version in the movie they speak Thai and E-san.

Tien the hero in the movie real name is tony jaa something like that.

laa gon krub pom.

It really depends my freind if you train in north east about Roi et areas in Thailand should take you around six months to be comfortable with your trainning.

around northeast if you lern your Muay Thai well you're dangerous to any muggers, am Thai myself I know.

I am currently doing bassaidai and would like to know where can you get bassaidai clips?

Hi Natural is back, I wear medium weight Gi made by Karate people from the world.

Thanks mate, using the top shin for defenced is better.

I think you should go for Thailand and search some more, myself I know there are two gyms that I know might be better than lanna muay Thia Gym but if you are at Ciangmai if you travel down south for three hours by car then east wards that where my resort is so you can rent there as well.

I have a resort for tourist its very resoanble pices I know you so I won't charged any.

I'll showed you some of the photos not far from ciangmai at all we also have a Muay Thai gym, its free if you want to come mart I can arrange it for you.

Cut kick, normally if i fight with my partner in sparring I kicked near the neck area and when i do again so my oponent keep blocking the upper body and forgotten to block the leg, to bock the low kick one way is to stand your feet both face the oponent not the side or your oponet will low kicked your thigh back leg or inner thigh, or bring your front leg as a muay thai guard the same time but not the shin bit or you'll knocked each other shins, also if you fake a kicked a mt will blocked then you can do a cut kick.

Works well to lage person as well.

I have being study karate for a while now and my favorite kick is to the leg which hurst my oponent I done alot in classes and most of my sparring partner can't stand up probabely; Does anyone of you use this technique to make your opoponet uncomfortheble.

mostly I start punching then kicking then came the low kicks which works nicely for me.

I herd its aout three different ones kyoukushinkai and other.

To my Opinions; Taekwondo use alot of different kinds of kicks spending mostly on kicks about 80%, and Muay Thai is a combanation of 8 cool weapons the sharp elbow the long leg the big punch the killer knee.

Ok maybe i was exagerating, but i would maintain that it shouldnt take years to learn one technique.

 

I have never found this to be the case for any single technique. If it takes that long i would question its usefulness, i cant imagine what sort of techniuqe would take that long. Months yes, years no.

I agree with you Mart!

How are you?

That's a good thing, right?

 

Oh and Natural, the pictures do not show up when i visit that site. I think the pictures are showing up for you because your browser has it in cache, but the pics are simply not at the address the html pages are addressing. The website author must have relocated them, possibly placed them in a separate folder. Looking at the html, it seems the pics were originally on the root (not a good place). They aren't there now.

I've trained at a few different camps in Thailand and the formost thing you need to do is be humble and respectful of the trainers there. Although that should go without saying. If they allow you to spar with them, spar lightly as thai's generally do. If you up the pace, they will match you and you are very likely to get hurt. I saw a guy from Italy I think it was, he sparred with one of the trainers in the camp I now go to when I visit BKK, he simply got scared and in doing so punched and kicked a little harder than he should have and the trainer took this as disrespect or something because he got very irritated and quickly played some of the cards 200+ fights had given him. The Italian fella did not fair so well and the arjarn actually had to intervene to keep the guy from getting seriously hurt. It was a pretty scary spectacle. The trainer was absolutely furious. Just don't go any harder than they do and you'll be fine. The trainers are actually quite gentle and I have never been injured in the least by any that I have had the honor of sparring with.

Thanks bro can't wait to watch tennis paradon schapean thai player. (Whoops other topic!!

That's a good thing, right?

Yes my name is Natural as well and *Martail Boy*.

sorry dude, I get a bit defensive as I've been taking a beating in some of the other forums, I mistook you comment as being confrontational, no worries then.

No problem freind I like your style!!

I can do a front split but not full splits, split does not matter for warming up at all its a bonus for hip flexibility.

To do the splits is keep doing it in splits position everyday slowly move down use gravity never try bouce when doing splits, if you try hard you'll get your splits in 3 months.

I did not post this as a challenge to your grandfather, nor did I post it in order that one might think everything in history is absolute fact. I just thought it was a cool story... always have. And there are a lot of things about Muay Thai that are not known since the burning of Ayutthaya in 1768, when the royal arhcives were destroyed. I also never claimed to have more information than your grandfather not that it has anything to do with the post. Jeez, some of you people are just way too confrontational. Why does it matter where I got the article from? Just out of curiosity. I don't think I claimed it as an original work at any point. One more note; I also did not claim that this was a COMPLETE history of Muay Thai. note at the bottom it says "tid bit". That means a small amount.

Chill out friend, nice cool article!!!

Sure, can you guys give me tips on my firts day to the gym.

Originally, Muay Thai was very brutal, even deadly. There were no weight categories, and few rules. There was also no padding or protection. Fighters wrapped their hands in either strips of horse hide or hemp rope to protect their hands and cause their opponent maximum damage. If both fighters agreed, they would sometimes dip their hands in a type of glue and then dip their hands in broken glass to cause severe cuts and bleeding during the fight. Fighters would wrap their ankles with cotton wrap and either wear coconut shells or triangular pillows for groin protection. In those days, many fighters died in the ring, especially from knees and elbows.

 

Probably the most famous Thai fighter of all time is Nai Khanom Dtom. During the many wars with Burma, Muay Thai fights were still being held and Nai Khanom Dtom was known as the greatest fighter in all of Siam, the previous name of Thailand. The Burmese had heard of how great this fighter was so they captured him to pit him against 12 of Burma's greatest fighters. If he could defeat all 12, he would be allowed to go free. The day of the fight came and a stadium was filled with Burmese people all wanting to see the death of this Siamese fighter. The first fighter came out and was instantly killed by Nai Khanom Dtom's lethal elbows and knees. The next fighter came out and met the same fate. One by one each fighter came out and fought ferociously to their death. As the day wore on, nine fighters had been killed at the bare hands of Nai Khanom Dtom, but something strange had begun to happen. As the Burmese people watched this fighter struggle against the odds and battle each fighter without rest, they soon found themselves cheering for their enemy, Nai Khanom Dtom. At the end of the day, Nai Khanom Dtom stood among twelve lifeless bodies in the middle of the stadium. The crowd cheered and the King of Burma had no choice but to set him free. To this day Thai boxers dedicate on night each year to the memory of Nai Khanom Dtom.
