Thai Vlog (HQ) – Epizoda 38 – Muay Thai (English Subtitles)

Hi, I am Kru Ther. Author Muay Thai. Muay Thai is a martial art and has been a part of Thai culture since ancient times. Muay Thai is one of the martial arts and philosophy that is untouchable. Muay Thai has existed since ancient times before World War II, even before the destruction of the kingdom of Ayutthaya. Earlier, Muay Thai was used in combat maneuvers, competitions, but it has been currently modified. It's a race to the next level with rules. Rules and regulations are defined as competitions. There is a result of losing and winning. Currently, it becomes a profitable business for many fighters. In the past, almost all the children who came to fight in the Muay Thai competition, in my opinion, were from poor families. Because of their poor families, in order to earn some money, they came to fight in the Muay Thai competition. I had been fighting Muay Thai since I was seven and then I earned 20 baht per fight in 3 rounds. I used that money for my studies.

Until I got the opportunity to go to practice in Bangkok. In the past, Bangkok was urbanized, while the provinces were a rural area. So when it comes to Muay Thai, the provinces we call Muay Phuthon and Bangkok we call Muay Nakhonban. There is a difference between Muay Phu Thon and Muay Nakhon Ban. In Muay Phu Thon, natural training is held using banana trees or sandbags from fertilizer bags hung on a tree for kicking practice. But Nakhon Ban has boxing camps. There are principles of training and education is organized step by step. The training schedule is organized in such a way that it starts with running for 20 minutes, punching or kicking the targets, shadow boxing, foot work, in order to prepare for a fighting day.

When it comes to provinces, there would be another type of training. It came to the dissemination of Muay Thai. There are many types of Muay Thai. Therefore, trainers are trained and certified to be Muay Thai trainers. There are training assistant levels, such as a C-licence, B and A-licence. It is this teaching principle that makes it clear or has the same approach. Fighters should train Muay Thai as a step. Muay Thai is divided into 5 types. Fighters from Korat have powerful pounces. Smarter fighters come from Lopburi. Fighters with good techniques comes from Chaiya, faster from Tha Sao, intelligent fighters come from Sport Science Institute. In the past, soldiers used to train it or used to perform fighting in the palace. Sometimes the King disguised himself to fight with the fighters. In the history of Muay Thai, there was Mr. Khanomtom who could fight nine foreigners and win. Muay Thai is a martial art and a science that I can say, it has not been defeated by any nation in the world. Punching style, jab, cross, left hook, right hook, left uppercut, right uppercut.

Standing characteristics should be balance including walking. Walk backward. Penetration. Defense and find rhythm. Determine yourself, elbow, elbow slash , horizontal elbow , uppercut elbow, swing elbow, reverse horizontal elbow, forward elbow thrust, spinning elbow. Knee, straight front knee, straight back knee, oblique forward, oblique back, jump knee. Standing, step for movement. Kick, forward kick, forward kick. Move. Block, block, block. Pull. This is a solution how to fight for me. Most of all fighters, if they have good training, good physique, they will be able to use in everyday life and then help to expand to others. Nowadays, I think Muay Thai gives many good things to me, so I would like to conserve and represent Muay Thai to everyone both around the world and everyone in the Thailand. Thank you very much. Hello, I have been training Muay Thai for 2 years and soon it is going to be my 3rd year. I have learned Muay Thai, because it is good exercise and practice for self-defense. If there is a critical situation, the self-defense technique, which I practice from training, can be used automatically.

Sometimes, we'll raise our legs and arms up to protect ourselves automatically. And Muay Thai is a sport that is known all over the world, even during Miss World competition, the Thai candidate also wear Muay Thai outfits on the world stage. Hello, my name is Ying.
