FUCKING BOKATO!! martial arts of slave!! Copy Muay Thai!!

[brooklynmonk1]

@samuraipsycho Actually Bokator predates Muay Thai by about 300 years. also, Bolkator has thousands of techniques, including ground fighting, which Muay Thai doesn't. So, it can't really be called a copy. If you are interested in Bokator and Muay Thai, I have published numerous articles comparing the two. you could find them with a quick google search.

[brooklynmonk1]

@samuraipsycho According to your activity history on youtube, you spent the better part of Saturday writing negative comments on Bokator videos, in favor of muay Thai. But you don't have any Muay Thai videos on your channel. If you love Muay Thai, why aren't you training and fighting? If you want to promote Muay Thai, why don't you publish videos about Muay Thai? Apparently, you don't love Muay Thai even to practice it, research its history, or promote it on the web.

@samuraipsycho you're a fukin ignorant bitch, just like the rest of your fellow citizens.

How long it's take to get to black belt?

[brooklynmonk1]

i trained on and off for three or more years but in between i was training in other countries. derrek did his black belt in six months but he lived in the school and trained 12 hours per day, seven days per week and slept on thee practice floor

[lpbmartialarts]

@brooklynmonk1 Hey Antonio I have hear that there are some controversies surrounding Bokator, since the Grand Master this has studied Hapkido. Now I'm interested in South East Asian culture and martial arts but from what I heard some of the art's authenticity is foggy.

[brooklynmonk1]

there have been three foreign black belts. mine is in bokator fighting and it took me about two years. derek and zeb both lived in the school and trained all day every day for about six or eight months and earned their certificate to be black belt instructors.

[WarrenKeingGaw]

dam it sorry i couldn't be your first viewer on Bokator i'm busy now and days

[Ji33yboy]

ay Antonio how ;long u think it wil take to become a master of bokator cuz ima head over to cambodian to train it leran more about my khmer bg

[brooklynmonk1]

learn all you can, go go go but it takes a life time to become a master at anything. i have been doing martial art for over 30 years and i am not a master yet.

[lpbmartialarts]

@brooklynmonk1 My first statement is out of curiosity and also I am sort of a skeptic. Out of no malice do I wish to question what this man is trying to do but I am simply curious.

[hotpopcorncake]

weird weapon handling i see no drilling or no move that look like application , i wonder how the large swords are like

[RobDaFob]

Holy Shit at 0:34! xD

[brooklynmonk1]

Sorry i dont undestand. what is a 0:34! xD

[teamkvs]

[brooklynmonk1]

Oh, got it, the head throw. cool!

[RobDaFob]

[RobDaFob]

Go Bokator! Go G.M. San Kim Saen! Go Antonio! lol

[brooklynmonk1]

I shot this two summers ago in cmabodia but couldnt find anyone to convert teh format until just now. i stayed up all night to finally get these bokator films posted.

[hotpopcorncake]
