Anyone know about Mhuay thai here?

I see...yes. I agree with both of you to an extent. Karky, I see your point. Kent, Thai boxing is a brutal, brutal sport. But I still enjoy watching it...I'm a sick man.
 
It sounds like Kents arguments are more toward the the promoters of certain Thai boxing groups than the art itself.

I took Muay Thai dedicated for a couple years with an instructor from Thailand. I think, as far as self defense goes, it's one of the best martial arts out there and definitely the best of the half dozen arts I've studied. I don't have time to train at the school any more considering I live further away but I still train some on my own.

The fact is, martial arts are learned for combat otherwise it isn't a martial art. The circumstances under which this is to be done vary. Hopefully the only time you'd full out apply it would be in self-defense or the defense of others. Many arts have a dual peaceful aspect as well which is great and one of the things that appeals to me, but let's make no mistake about the existence of the martial aspect.

its excellent

thai boxing for fitness

dear all

my contact and more infos about me on my web
if u would like to discuss any other related topic please visit my forum
 
I have tooken Muay Thai. Before I took it, I thought Muay Thai was a dirty sport until I saw Tony Jaa. He makes it look stylish else Muay Thai is just a blood thristy sport.
 
i dnt agree with calling any fighting sport (blood thirst sport) who r thirsty for blood r usually cowered and will never practise any sports specially fighting sports wich recomend from the fighter to be a clean person with a high attitude that helps him perform better to become a better fighter
 
When I say blood thristy, I meant that it is only about the fighting. There are different styles in MA. There are ones where it is more about the fighting. Others are about the forms and movements.
 
i honestly think that it s all about movement, technics and training otherwise people will nt train to be champions bt then u can get a violent guy from the neighborhood put him on the ring and he will compete!!!!!!! i understand what do u mean by the fighting u might mean the fighter spirit , believe me all fighters have that spirit it might varry between their fights according to their mental mood bt to be a fighter u should have that spirit, then all what u need next is to improove ur technics conditions and experience.
 
When I was a competitive martial artist, Muay Thai was part of my regular routine. It's excellant for all kinds of things, but for me the most beneficial aspect was the shin blocks and effectiveness in extremely close quarters. Especially in MMA style fighting, Muay Thai can be effective for fending off leg kicks and body kicks if you really master shin blocks. If you condition your shins and muscles properly, it's likely your opponent will hurt their foot and leg with a well timed shin block.

I studied traditional muay thai, and it was somewhat brutal, compared to some other martial arts out there. Drills to condition the shins and muscles surrounding it to accept blows were to essentially kick a makiwara (I don't know the english term or official Muay Thai term, but essentially a wooden post wrapped in straw) over and over again. More advanced students would strike each others shins with a baton wrapped in the same straw in drills.

There's a lot of pain involved, but a lot of reward, as well. Its been almost 5 years since I have been in it, however, so things may have greatly changed.
 
SAW IT ONCE , HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN IT, 20yrs later

Mate seen them fight when i was in Thailand, whilst in the army. The locals
told me they burnt out pretty quick, due to their training, Old men at a young age. Tell ya something else saw a local girl get in a scrap 1 night. She wasn't
mucking around either. FORCE of 1. Beautifull people the Thai's very placid
nature. pleasure to be around. The Thai boxing reminded my of pychotic
bull ants. Mercilless.

true thai? i'm thai and do muay thai and i don't wrap my hands in glass. that pretty stupid if you think about it and i havnt heard anything from anyone who does anything like this. evolution is right about kicking baby bamboo when you start conditioning and you move onto hard bamboo tree's that are wrapped with little or no cloth. but thats what only true thai do, cause bamboos don't grow left right and centre in australia i personal just kick with my shins agenst a hard punching bag and do alot of forearm smashes. another thing about doing muay thai is if you want to be a good fighter is too have little body fat, very fit and listen to every word your trainer tells you if your getting a trainer.

apart from that muay thai is properly the best martial arts out there and thats only because i do it. heres a clip of Buakaw if you wanna know what it looks like.... i dont personaly like him but this clip is cool
