it's so funny how in every Muay Thai video there is comments about TKD and in every TKD vid there are comments about MT. People are so insecure about there style that they have to put others down. No style is perfect. No style is better than any other style. It is all down to the practitioner.....period.
People saying that some of them are TaeKwonDo kicks, Muay Thai has been around for over 500 more years then the VERY BEGINNING of Taekwondo, before it was called that.
These are not TKD techniques, mabye TKD has similar or same techniques but if you have ever watched a demo of muay boran in the lumpinee stadium you will see these techniques in use.
Why on earth is the guy in the white trunks jumping into the air when he goes to kick? Very staged and faggy. I have seen grown men knocked over in similar fashion when a dog as run under their legs when they have been jumping. Step into this old cunts kicks and counter punch and you will find a much different result.
@myjizzureye Its staged for the purpose of the DVD. However, i train under the tutelage of one of this guy, Master Sken's, Affiliate Instructors and believe me when thrown full SPEED and full POWER a muay thai kick is not telegraphed. Its a million times better than any other art purely because it takes what works and ditches what doesnt..unlike kali/escrima/JKD/TKD etc etc. Techniques in Muay thai are learnt quickly and easily and then its training training training.
@LCStreetPhotographer JKD takes what's not needed and disposes of it,theres a lot of thai-boxing influence in JKD !!...duno why u mentioned JKD in your list
Not bad 4 an old guyXD hahahah seriously i loved training over there and got rthe highest respect 4 muay thai and the thai people period. They are amazing.
wow.. ive been told to watch this guy.. he's really good! ive been practising ju jitsu for 2 1/2 years now and want to work on my stand up game. i think ive found what im gonna go for!
this shit a'int traditional muay thai.... these kicks are teakwondo kicks... you see it because het ain't standing on his toes wjile he's kicking... fake and gay
@BXplosive fake and gay? grand master sken is THE best muay thai instructor in the world. even his students are the best instructors, kru phil nurse who trains GSP and nate marquat was taught by master sken. also know what you're talking before you make comments like that. master sken is also a black belt in teakwondo and he incorporates it into muay thai. you know shit my friend. who ever taught you muay thai should go and learn again
@neil182sr I didn't say that he's a bad fighter or trainer. He might be the best stand up trainer ever . I can't tell. But i can tell what muay thai is. And the kicks on this video aren't classical thaikicks. that's all i'm saying. Whatever. think what you want.
ps: if you didn't pay a visit to thailand, you shouldn't talk about him beeing the best muay thai trainer of the world. have a nice day (:
@BXplosive he's not just a muay thai trainer he also teaches muay boron and krabi krabong. he's a grand master and if it wasn't for him you wouldn't know what muay thai is. they are traditional muay thai kicks because master toddy and master 'A' teach them as well. kisses
@neil182sr it's called muay boran btw. and no they aren't traditional muay thai kicks. 1:32 for example. they are teakwondo kicks and because "master toddy" teaches them doesn't turn em into MT Kicks.. but whatever i think that the both of us have besser things to do than arguing on the internet. good training (;
master sken is now based in stockport. 25 years ago i went to his camp in manchester it was named hollywood , drove to the park tonight and saw his school ,went in and spoke to him and i am having my first lesson wed at 7pm (first lesson free) its just off newzeland road . hope this helps.
try training at the art itself before you pass comments on people who have earned the respect of martial artists the world over and dont really give a monkeys what loners like yourself think
Kind of wonder what it would look like if he was to actually let loose on some of these kicks. The only times he was actually putting any true power behind the kicks was when his training partner had the pad out to absorb the shot. Rest of the time his partner was selling the hit even if GM Sken didn't follow through on the kick. Having trained with Master Toddy I know first hand some of these guys seem ageless.
I trained with GM Sken in the days of Deansgate. (30yrs ago). You should have seen his speed and felt his power then. Truely Awsome. It's being my honor pleasure to know GM Sken.
MASTER SKEN = WORLDS BEST MUAY THAI INSTRUCTOR. Ive lived in Peru Miami England Texas and now I live in Canada and Ive met Martial Arts instructors from various Countries and no one has the skills or humbleness that Master Sken has. If you truly want to learn Muay Thai go to Master Sken.
Age is nothing to Master Sken. Sken = GOD. Love to see him kick the shit out of Retarded Chuck Liddell. If you want to see how Pathetic Liddell is go see hit The Pit DVD. Liddell cant hit for shit.
Greater Manchester iirc. I used to work in Stockport, and one morning I let a small guy in a big estate car out, and he bowed at me, and it was Master Sken!
Not bad for a guy his age, who had his knee shot out when he was in Thailand!
Master Sken, Ive seen many top Martial Arts instructors in USa Uk & Canada. And I must say Your teaching methods & Excellent Skills are superior to any of the other Instructors Ive met.
Four consecutive airborne hits... that's what I'm going for!! I definitely want to improve my kick, but DANG... I imagine that such a feat requires speed, power, and accuracy. Impressive.
Master Sken is not only an awesome Muay Thai teacher, he is also a very humble man full of wisdom

guessing you dont practice muay thai because if you did youd know a few things...
a low muay thai kick by a pro can break a maple baseball bat without hurting the kicker,
you wanna step into that?
