Hello folks,

 

I have been participating in Kick-Boxing (competition) and havent lost yet... My general height and weight is 180cm and 71 kilo I am slender. I have read that a lot of people are curious about Muay Thai... I switched from Kick-Boxing to Muay Thia as soon as I could, to be honest I have trained in Kung Fu, Karate and Kick-Boxing and none come close to the power of Muay Thai.

 

I went to Thailand to compete and train in a camp in Northern Thailand called S.Anucha, I stayed for almost half a year training 6 hours a day and fighting shows and fights for money.

 

We had great competition with a local camp called Lanna Muay Thai which had mostly foreign boxers. We had a few other fighters trained in other systems and martial arts visit our camp to experience the power of Lanna Muay Thai (Lanna is a period of history in Thailand, Old style Muay Thai)

 

These guys coming from mostly france were fantastic at what they did, they had grace and every move looked perfect, LOOKED!!! in practice however these artists trained in other systems other than Muay Thai didnt have much of a chance in physical combat with a fighter trained in Muay Thai, one thing is the pain, the conditioning of the shins and the extreme training methods used.

 

I witnessed young boys getting cained and sometimes they bit their lips till bleeding to try and subdue the pain from a leg kick, these leg kicks along with Knees and Elbows are very decisive in a fight, the pain that follows from a direct leg kick is hard to imagine and no amount of preparation can get you ready for it, it is all mental. Elbow techniques and Knee techniques are a very high part of training in Thailand, grapple, knees and elbows are what make Muay Thai.

 

The Thais see all other Martial arts as 'boring' (I mean no offence) as after speaking with them they explained that no other fighter trained in any other martial art has ever defeated a top ranking Nak Muay (Thai Warrior) only Muay Thai has defeated Muay Thai or techniques taken from Muay Thai have made a fight decisive.

 

I fought and won inside 4 minutes against a Thai, this wasnt because I was merely conditioned, bare in mind 95% of all foreigners who train in Thailand rarely last 2 weeks, this is a mental thing.... you are either a fighter or you are not, no amount of training will ever make you a fighter, you can have absolute knowledge of a particular art form but in practivce you forget everything and crumble to pressure, you shite yourself to put it bluntly, you are then not a fighter, you have no 'venom'. Or you could have a very basic knowledge and win!!! Because of your heart.

 

Remember why you are learning your chosen art form, try to reason why you want to have the knowledge that is being passed to you, is it for fighting? fitness? or to look good? Not many people actually compete and in my opinion competing (not sparring) is the greatest test of all for your ability as a fighter and how much heart you have.

 

And most importantly dont abuse your knowledge... keep your fists in your pockets and talk your way out of trouble, it is not good to get a criminal record or even risk your own life because of lack of self control. Take my word for it.

 

Muay Thai is effective, very much so, it is dangerous because of the ferocity of the elbow and knee techniques and can easily kill an unconditioned person so to keep the art form growing dont fxxk it up for others by giving it a bad name :)

 

Learn it and respect it.

I agree and have much repect for the art but dont get ur head stuck in your a$$(no offense).

Karate and Kick-Boxing and none come close to the power of Muay Thai.

For u maybe but it is said "the stiff tree will break in the wind and the grass will yeild and live to see another day".

 

Have u ever been in a serious fight without a judge and a ring, what if 5 men rush u with bats what then, my point is not to bash ur style but to remember that the style of muay thai might be the one for u and on the other hand karate might be better for someone else.

The Thais see all other Martial arts as 'boring' (I mean no offence) as after speaking with them they explained that no other fighter trained in any other martial art has ever defeated a top ranking Nak Muay (Thai Warrior) only Muay Thai has defeated Muay Thai or techniques taken from Muay Thai have made a fight decisive.

This is also not entirely correct,what if ur opponent will not use force against u but yeild to everything u do, u will never succeed in wining. My friend i repect your style and repect your respect to the style but dont get binded by it, like an old proverb said to his student when they sat down to drink tea- The master sat down with the learned man and the learn man would interupt the master with his own opinion on the subjects they discused. The master stopped talking to pour some tea for the learned man until the cup started to overflow"stop stop no more tea can fit in this cup" the learned man said."If u do not first empty your cup how can u taste my cup of tea".

I dont really know why u are bent on thinking everyone is against muay thai? Its a very good style however by posting somehting like this only brings contreversy and will limit ur true potential. Kicks elbows and knees are good to know but u can still be an a$$hole, MA is about understanding acceptance and growth and by one thing i know it seems u are giving the style a bad name by the post u have put here. I am sure Ajarn "Chai" Sirsute will not agree with your allegations on this subject so my friend dont forget empty ur cup :)

then you are going to get beat down no matter what your stlye.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Very true but my point is no matter what u know about fighting or always beat ur opponent up u can still be an a44hole :lol:

 

MA is not about my style will beat urs no matter what, its about understanding acceptance and personal growth, with this in mind u can do anything as a MA :karate:
