National Muay Thai Day

Posted in Muay Thai on March 17th, 2006

Today (17 March) is The National Muay Thai Day .

This Day is dedicatd to Nai Khanom Thom, who according to legend defeated 10 Burmese fighters to win his freedom from captivity around the year 1774 .

Nai Khanomtom

A very famous fighter was Nai Khanomtom. Around 1774, he was captured along with other Thai prisoners, either in a skirmish or at the fall of the ancient capital of Siam of Ayutthaya.

He was brought to Yangon in Burma, where the Burmese king Mangra was holding a festival .

The festivities included many forms of entertainment. King Mangra was reported to be curious to see how the various fighting styles of Burma and other countries would compare. At one point, he wanted to see how Muay Thai (or Muay Boran) would compare to the Burmese art .

Nai Khanomtom was selected to fight against the Burmese champion.

Nai Khanomtom did a Wai Kru (wai khru ram muay) pre-fight dance which puzzled all of the Burmese. When the fight began, he charged out and using punches, kicks, elbows, and knees, quickly pummelled the Burmese.

The referee was reported to have stated that the Burmese opponent was distracted by the Wai Kru, so the knockout was invalid.

The King then asked if Nai Khanomtom would fight nine other Burmese champions to prove himself.

He agreed and fought them all, one after the other. The last Burmese was reputed to be a great boxing teacher. Nai Khanomtom defeated them all in a superior fashion.

Other variations of this story had him also winning the release of his fellow Thais. His feat is celebrated every March 17 as “Boxer’s Day” or “National Muay Thai Day” in his honor and that of Muay Thai’s.

The strongest form of Martial Art

Posted in Martial Arts on March 11th, 2006

A lot of people ask , What is the best Martial arts sports , or what is the strongest martial art form or even what is the martial arts that will make you defeat all other in a fight .

Well … There is no direct answer for this question , because this question depend on many factors and each martial arts has it own specialisation .

Let’s take Aiikido , when you see a person attacked by more than 6 people and he throw them all by just some move , you say : i want to train Aikido and become like him .

I already tried the Aikido and it’s a sport that i do respect a lot , it’s a very strong form of Martial arts used more in self-defence and body guarding issues .

Can you compare it to Thai-boxing ? NO ! Well you can but not in term of who is better

What i don’t like in people or “Trainer” is that when you ask them what martial art sports is better (ex: Muay Thai or Aiikido ) if he is a trainer of Muay Thai he will tell you ” Muay Thai ” , if he’s a trainer of Aikido he will say “Aikido” … That’s totally wrong

Another point , if there is a fight between a Thai boxer and taekwondo , the winner of the fight don’t prove anything , it just could mean that a person is stronger than another person on the ring (this could change on the street) .

In my point of view (UFC - Ultimate Fighting Championship - Mixed martial arts) is getting more and more popularity because of the points mentionned above.

If you dident know what is Mixed martial arts :

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is an intense and evolving combat sport in which competitors use interdisciplinary forms of fighting that include jiu-jitsu, judo, karate, boxing, kickboxing, wrestling and others to their strategic and tactical advantage in a supervised match.

Ok … Time for some entertainment :)
