Muay_Thai_COBRA Posted April 28, 2002 Posted April 28, 2002 does anyone know of some movies with lots of full hardcore muay thai
Blade13 Posted April 28, 2002 Posted April 28, 2002 ***KICKBOXER!*** starring Jean Claude Van Damme lmao j/k!
TKD_McGee Posted April 28, 2002 Posted April 28, 2002 Hey that was a classic movie. Bloodsport is still the best! Do unto others, as they done to you.
Blade13 Posted April 30, 2002 Posted April 30, 2002 Yeah, it was a good movie, but not in its muay thai aspects. I do love Bloodsport though. Ive got that movie and watch it often.
Phantasmatic Posted May 2, 2002 Posted May 2, 2002 Saving Silverman has a Muai Thai clip in it!!! "Which one is more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?" - Obi Wan Kenobi
spinninggumby Posted May 2, 2002 Posted May 2, 2002 Hard-core muay thai just isn't that photogenic on screen. Contrary to popular belief, most muay thai kicks are aimed below the waist in order to destroy, damage, aggravate, etc. the thighs and legs. The shin is used and the leg is swung like a battering ram repeatedly, and the idea is that if you take down the base or what holds the opponent up (i.e. the legs), then he or she will have nothing left (or whatever other assets they may have won't mean anything because their foundation is gone). Van Damme movies emphasize head-high kicking and splits, which gives people a false impression of the truth about brutal hard-core muay thai. :smile: Of course, I am not a muay thai expert so I might be wrong in a few areas, hahaha.
