Valn Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 Thaiboxerken, I wasn't making a comment on muay thai. I already knew that it was a complete martial arts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karateka Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 I agree also, Muay Thai is a complete and very interesting Martial Art. The thing about Martial arts is in the dojo there are rules, in the tournament there are rules. In real life, there are no rules. If you are in a real situation, do whatever you have to to survive.

karateronin Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 Ken I think what you actualy implied was that all karate-ka were fools. I quote: Any fool can do a front kick. You also seemed to think that only kickboxers or muay thai practicioners can do roundhouse kick. Sorry but look at Chuck Norris (Tang Soo Do), Frank Brennan (Shotokan), Mas Oyama (Kyokoshinkai) etc. How do you block a Jodan (head Height) roundhouse with your shin or knee?. Unless you are a contorsionist. Respect to Mr Inosanto karateronin is the Chief Instructor of Karate International Black Belt Schools UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiboxerken Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 Right.. when I said any fool can do a front kick, that means anyone can do it. It's very easy to do and can hurt even without hip power thrown in. The good round kick is really only done by Thai-boxers and certain good systems of martial arts. Many arts call their kick a "round kick" but use more quad strength than hip power. It's rare to see martial artists throw a good powerful round kick. How does a person block a head high kick? You can use your elbow, since a head high kick has less power. Or choose not to block it and cut out the other leg of your opponent instead. Chuck learned the round kick from Muay Thai.. The other martial arts of Shotokan and Kyokushinkai adapted the Muay Thai kick. Nothing wrong with that, it's great that these arts are evolving. Much like Muay Thai is adapting western boxing into their systems.

karateronin Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 ken what books you been reading?? Chuck learnt it from muay thai? The guy was a world champion several times before muay thai even raised its head in the west.. Other systems especially Japanese and Korean martial arts evolved from Tang Te or chinese hand which evolved from shoulin kung fu which evolved from INDIAN karipyit And you cant beat a good indian as they say in Bradford, Yorkshire. And you can even get chicken tikka and onioin bahjies at our Mc D`s _________________ karateronin is the Chief Instructor of Karate International Black Belt Schools UK.

thaiboxerken Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 Yea... but he was a "kickboxing" champ, not a Muay Thai champ. He has since learned Muay Thai and Brazillian Jujitsu. The Muay Thai round kick was incorporated by Kyokushin and other arts in the recent years.

Valn Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 I think in recent years you have so many people that have crossed trained that things are becoming extremely complex and complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
