[nacetroy]

great informational video, thank you.

[malganus4]

actually muay thai has ground fighting aka ( in parter),but it's very rare to happen.

[brooklynmonk1]

@malganus4 No, there is absolutely NO RECORD anywhere of ANY form of Thai ground fighting. if you have a source for your statement, please share it.

Still stretching bro? I hope you are conditioning your shins too. The elbow blocks remind me of Kuntaw, so do those leg kicks, stay light, don't just take those, hop back and regroup, lift your leg, throw a kick, take your pick. Hope you are having fun, I know I would be.

[brooklynmonk1]

@khairuleven Thanks for the constructive criticism. Obviously, I train every day, so if you watch some of my recent fights, you can evaluate if I have made any improvement.

@ichibang15549

by the way, in the MMA tournament, i won my first fight and one of my khmer friends came in second in his division. you dont need to say sorry. we are happy with the results.

still dont understand the rest of your comment, though, is it that you believe the ground fighting we used in the tounrament was actually muay thai and not bokator or jiu jitsu? Because if it is, muay thai doesnt have ANY ground fighting.

[brooklynmonk1]

@ichibang15549 sorry, I can't quite follow what you are saying here. are you saying that I stole Muay Thai from Thailand? I'm pretty certain it's still there. You should check first. also i dont understand "apply it to bokator" do you mean i added muay thai to my bokator or that i fight against bokator using muay Thai? which Thai people specifically do you represent? and what is it that I will be forever remembered for? Have you consulted with Kru Lek or Kru Ba, or any of my Muay Thai teachers?

Muay lolx that means to bind together into a rounded form...for example ..."Mauy" Phom...meaning to bind the hair together into a rounded form...

[SuperKingNova]

nice video, other than the gay voice comentary

[ANGELSGYMSINGH]

The Book, The Art of Western Tai Chi Ch'uan, discusses this idea of a savage and intimidating defense and a calculated and deliberate offense with reference to above the waist striking. However, this art's emphasis on the body-mechanics of disabling the body below the hips is very important to note and incorporate in every aspect of MMA Standup. I liked the video alot Monk... Thanks for sharing

[sapherosth]

lol at the last second, was it neccessary?

[brooklynmonk1]

on Robert's show, it is always necessary that Antonio gets beat up. I am learning to live with it.

[Shugyo2]

hmm, the fluidity of movement is similar to kung fu? ,

[GetDamage]

My teacher learned muay thai, karate, boxing, and some other arts. He learned muay thai from a Laos who had a school in Thailand I think. The defense he taught me looks very close to this. I have never seen defense like this in sport muay thai. I learned muay thai from him and it resembles alot like chaiya. This defense is very solid. And the way I was taught the roundhouse kick looks a little different from traditional muay thai. He emphasize power, defense, distance and timing, and then speed.

[Skalathranx]

The commentator/narrator seems to have some voice issue going on... its sometimes hard understanding him because he seems all out of breath ^^

[baby4lovez]

lmfao chaiya is my name :]

[narutoandWoWgeek]

And this is why the traditional muay thai is the best just great almost perfect defense

[bulletproofKevlar]

[GregK28002]

[christopheclugston]

It's close to a few Occidental Arts--but the amount of time before you use it is very different in the Occidental World.

[brooklynmonk1]

It's the ALG of fighting arts.

[matthias79]
