Drunken Monkey Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 sorry but i don't get it. you say you are trying to point out the ingorance of some comments by making ignorant comments? if you have a point to make, make it clear. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Drunken Monkey Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 nope. it's still all rubbish to me. why dont you just make your point. if anyone here has said something that you disagree with, point it out and say why. otherwise you are just spouting rubbish, with no frame of reference to which no one understands. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Treebranch Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Drunken Monkey said: well, he's mentioned some weapons training but like i said, i always thought that it was regarded as a separate entity. anyway, as far as i was aware, historically, muay thai was primarily a sport in thailand. Well I've read that weapons were taught to Muay Thai warriors back in the day, but they don't teach the weapons anymore. I really believe that if some MA is going to be considered a Combat MA it has to have extensive weapons training for 2 reasons. 1) If you are going to fight in a battle you are going to absolutely need weapons. In pre-gun history they were more than likely using spears, knives, clubs, swords, and arrows, etc. 2) The weapons training teaches speed, balance, distance and timing among other very important aspect to fighting. The weapon, the sword for example is an extension of your arm or body. With a weapon in hand your errors or flaws in technique will be amplified by 10 times. So in order to perfect your unarmed combat skills you must practice weapons. This all depends upon the kind of MA you are studying. Sport MA's don't fit into this category, because there concerns are different. I hope this helps.

Drunken Monkey Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 well, that was my point. from what i gather, the weapons training previously taught were more of a separate entity that was also taught to thai warriors and not an integral part of muay thai itself (hence the separate name of krabi krabong). think of how integral the use of a knife is to something like silat and perhaps you'll see what i mean. silat is more or less knife fighting (with or without the knife). i don't think muay thai is sword fighting with or without the sword. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Treebranch Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Well if you are a Muay Thai Warrior then congratulations. We all know that the warriors had to go through that most people went through regular life.
