grrr im having major trouble with the phan mut bind hands can u make maybe a short video of the hand movements i catch on real fast when it comes to fighting and only need to see it once but for some reason im having a major trouble with this please help:C!
Lol it's funny because all the people making fun of this are the same people who quit martial arts and never find success. Why? Because of their big headedness and unwillingness to try things.
@DawgFL the best thing is people who make fun of this are people who dongt understand the history and understand the methods :) but people like us we know we learn quick and fast its people like us that makes things great and people like that.That judges before understanding and thats why when we fight ether for sparring or for our life we will know and use what we learn vs them fighting like a girl or just hookpunches:)
Kru Nathan, i understand that u encourage learning muay chaiya online frm ur website... is it gonna b effective for me? How is it gonna help me enhance my skills if i practice alone as such?
nice, lots of help. but when i train ban mud, pan kaen and pan mud, i do them as deep squats and do 100 of each. makes ur legs so much stronger, helps balance and is much more rewarding workout than just bobing up and down. no critism intended :)
@Artaxerxes1986 If your knees can take it, go for it! I do squat deeper on than on the video when I'm training, but for starters the 'bobbing' is fine, as it helps build up and strength the small supporting muscles of the knees and ankles :)
These exercises indeed help you strengthen. I was having some problems with my right hip flexor. Not usre if I pulled it or over stretched it, anyways I'm building strength again because of these exercises. Soon as I become strong enough I easy my way back into stretching.
@culturaleyes Your welcome. Ring Muay Thai is the modern form of the older styles of Muay Thai, designed specifically for the ring. The older styles such as Muay Chaiya were designed for real fighting, and self defense. Muay Chaiya is much more focused on defense, and the majority of techniques can be used for defensive, counter or offensive purposes, than the very aggressive modern Muay Thai, making it that much deeper and requiring more time to learn.
:D nice vid im galde for a farang interest in muay chaiya that some of thai people dont give a shit about our martial art and go learn some thing else like kung fu karate i didnt mean thai people cant learn other martial art than jsut muay thai but dude we re thai we need to support our martial art the ancient worrior use muay boran to protect thailand that's why we have thailand today i respect !
@MoonCross10 easy to master? erm really it isnt if you are training properly! mastering body weight transference, balance, conditioning (esp. the forearms) etc. all are quite difficult and take a long to get perfect.
@Jimbei420 You're right, it looks similar, especially the movement of the top hand as it moves down. But be careful that you don't punch forward with the rising hand...
@MugenNeS Your welcome, I'm glad it's helped you. These exercises look really simple, but they do seem to help people with a lot of problems. Myself, they strengthened my knee after surgery...
@estazez I'm working on a website at the moment that will cover the full system up to advanced, so it'll cover a lot of details including the fundamentals and the look mai moves...
@MrQmoh lol... i'd like to know to ;) I was planning to finish it this month, but I'm sooo busy with teaching at the moment, that I can't say for certain... soon? Please be patient ;)
I'm planning to come and train at Baan Chang Thai, unfortunately it'll be a year or so before I'll be able to make the trip. Your videos here will give me the basics to practice so I'll be a little more prepared for the real thing, and something to chew on to take the edge off the longing!
It is not just to develop the calves but a great tool for warmning up the body before any formal instruction or training begins. The jumping on tyres is to also reduce the impact of the ankle , keen and toe joints upon contact with the earth. The tyres reduce and lowers the risk of damaging the knees and ankles.
@linkvicky Do them as much as you feel comfortable and need. If you do them everyday, you'll be in pretty good shape, and will also be making a good start to getting your body comfortable with the Muay Chaiya movements (which are pretty strange for most).
Remember, you can make these exercises harder, just by bending your knees more, hopping higher, kicking harder/higher, rocking the body back more and picking up the pace.
hello there, good vid by the way, i live in the us and i was wondering do you know of anywhere i could learn this stuff if not in us then maybe somewhere not off continent or at least not too far
@indianajonesdog Ahh, now it becomes clear, you are one of the problematic students of Chaiya who only seem to be able to cause problems and try and degrade the style. Again I laugh, unalom, this seems to be a great point that you guys hold onto...
If you had an issue with me, you should have spoken to me at the Wai Kru the previous weekend - oh, sorry, you weren't there? hmmm....
@oppidodolens You're welcome. Filmed a couple more vids last weekend, now trying to find time to edit them. Keep an eye on my channel, I'll try and get one up by this weekend...
yeah, a little something like that, you know so that all you worthless wannade fighters will know that you get out of it what you put into it, NOTHING .
@indianajonesdog So, you've experienced muay chaiya? practiced it ? enough so that you can make comments on it's effectiveness? Obviously not... thankyou for proving that you are as narrow minded as your comments.
@nathanbrown19 I could train in it for one day and whoop your sorry ass even with a narrow mind. If you cannot take constructive criticism, maybe it is you who is narrow minded. The truth is you are one of the worst I have ever seen, this is not narrow minded, it is the truth. I am sorry if it is harsh but you should just quit
lmfaoooo... where is the constructive criticism?And if this kind of retort is the best you can manage (after 5 days) then you really are a sorry little dog.Threatening to 'whoop my sorry ass' is really not in least bit threatening,the web is full of wannabe fighters (sorry to coin your phrase) like yourself with bold statements, thinking that you have vast experience and skills.Remember, teaching and doing are very different. In my online videos I teach,you wanna see the real thing,come on down!
@indianajonesdog sounds to me like you're a hating bitch who doesn't have any vids up of himself doing shit. how about you show everybody how it's done or shut the fuck up?
Hey, I'm very interested in taking Muay Chaiya classed but can't find anyplace near by. Anyways I was wondering what the point of these exercises were and for how long someone should be doing them for?
Hi Nai, yep it's pretty hard to find Muay Chaiya outside of Thailand (and it's not that easy to find here!) if you can fit in once a day then great, but really, the fitter/stronger you want to be the more often you should practice.
Also, if you don't have time for a full session, try using select exercises, or reduce the time for each from 3 to 2 or 1 minutes... There's no strict rule, but this is how I was taught in Baan Chang Thai, and continue to teach...
The exercises are to strengthen your body in preparation for the movements and techniques of Muay Chaiya. The movements in the exercises are the same as you use in the foundation techniques of the style, and so practicing them often will help make them a natural part of your movement.
Each exercise should be done for 3 minutes, with a break after exercise 6. With a 10 minute break, the set should take 40 minutes.
Sorry, I'm not aware of any outside of Thailand, except for one old student of Kru Lek called Fabrique (?) in france... I keep hearing rumours that he's still teaching, but we no longer have contact with him.
but the guy is hard to find in on the Net. I don't know if he runs a club but he seems to give classes (not on a regularly base) all around France. The last location I found (2008) is Marseille and I don't know if he's still there.
I think you can get more infos by googling "thaipowergym" (it's a french Internet-forum), or on Muaythaitv and search for his name
Another way would be to contact the users who say to be students of him in Marseille (under the Bercy-Show video comments on youtube) and ask them for more infos
He features on the french edition of the muay t. chaiya DVD too, called "boxers(muaythai chaiya)" in french. could be more infos about where he teaches
Nevermind. Writing it in Thai would make no difference as it sounds in Thai the way it is written in English! However, I must say again that I am very suprised that you don't know what it is and how it relates to the 'x' guard in Muay Chaiya. Perhaps you should ask Kru Lek what it is... Anyhow, up to you ;-)
Lol. No I have never learnt the name of that position, as it's not used as a guard especially at Baan Chang Thai (it has one or two defencive uses however) mostly it is used as the start position for exercises using Phan Mut. Hmm, interesting why they would name it after the glabella... who is your teacher by the way?
Writing something in Thailish or Thai can make all the difference, quite often people of different nationalities will read Thailish differently, and the form you originally used I wouldn't have read as oo-na-lom, being english I would have read unalom as you-na-lom or un-a-lom (un as in nun). Also, as I'm sure you know, the tones can have a great impact on the meaning so it's always useful for clarification.
So, just wondering whether you have found out what 'unalom' is yet; I must admit I was suprise when you didn't know it - perhaps you need to ask your teacher, teacher?
hi there...thanks for this VDO...is there any muay chaiya instructors in New Delhi India that you might be aware about..it would be a great help...if not are there any books that i can buy or refer...thank in advance...
Thanks for your interest, and I'm glad this will help.
As for the 'Ram Muay' (fighters dance) of Chaiya, I'm afraid this is something that you have to learn directly from a teacher, after performing the formal Keurn Kru ceremony with that teacher.
If you want to pay respects, then perform a 'graab', which is similar to that performed in Thai temples when paying respect to monks and Buddha.
I'll add this to my list of articles to write on my site.
Sorry, don't follow your questions at all. What's a unalom?, also, where is the comment about protecting the middle of the forehead (a stretched palms width?) coming from?
Also, I've added comments on my site, so you can comment there.
Very nice-looking, great technique and clear descriptions, but slightly confused about: protecting 'unalom'? Arm positions, especially in 'yok khao'? ... Arm/leading fist should protect the middle of the forehead, then lowered when position is dropped to 'jod muay'; your arm/fist is never centred in front of your forehead (a stretched-palm's width)... What's with that? Just curious :-)

Thanks for your interest, and I'm glad this will help.
As for the 'Ram Muay' (fighters dance) of Chaiya, I'm afraid this is something that you have to learn directly from a teacher, after performing the formal Keurn Kru ceremony with that teacher.
If you want to pay respects, then perform a 'graab', which is similar to that performed in Thai temples when paying respect to monks and Buddha.
I'll add this to my list of articles to write on my site.
All the best with your training.

Hey Ubekaa...
Sorry, don't follow your questions at all. What's a unalom?, also, where is the comment about protecting the middle of the forehead (a stretched palms width?) coming from?
Also, I've added comments on my site, so you can comment there.

Very nice-looking, great technique and clear descriptions, but slightly confused about: protecting 'unalom'? Arm positions, especially in 'yok khao'? ... Arm/leading fist should protect the middle of the forehead, then lowered when position is dropped to 'jod muay'; your arm/fist is never centred in front of your forehead (a stretched-palm's width)... What's with that? Just curious :-)
