[krupedro]

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

@krupedro

thats ok but show me real fights!!

[jcasimiro82]

Excelente MAESTRO y tu WT también.

Saludos desde España.

[yuji1123]

he starts withj muay thai,goes to krab krabong an then he fights kun fu wing chun WTF!?

[KHALSAWARRIOR]

Yes, Video does play. No problems :) excellent

[Koryuhoka]

Heck that looks very much like Okinawan Bo Kata. I have seen comments that "Muay Boran doesn't work because it's old". I saw it as more trash talk from the 'never trained in the lives fanboys'. As I watched the movesments early on in the video working in four directions, I saw what appeared to be Grappling Techniques and Trapping. Many of these kids can't see beyond pounding someone against the ground. It's very sad.

amazing

[nativebornsun]

I think Kru Pedro is not only courageous for incorporating these contrasting styles, that are often criticized by the others respective Martial Arts Community. But, I also think it's genius to have mastered these styles and exhumed the underlying principles in-order to fit his needs as an Artist/ Fighter- regardless of what other people say. He is a true warrior and mystic.

[miamitrigueno]

@nativebornsun without a doubt he is very proficient at the arts, muay thai, muay boran and krabi krabong, but master, i would say ALMOST there, but not quiet. He needs more fluidity in his movements, but he is almost there. The wing tsung still looks pretty basic as it requires more speed with the hands. He is good nonetheless.

[12elbow]

main angin cukup cantik..

[Maganmetal]

7:22 wtf this is wing chun

[takeshimiyagi]

Ahahahahaha LOL he's doing wing chun and called it muay thai?

[ucylander1]

Sawadicap Kru , keep up your hard work so others may benefit!

[walking1way]

you combined the forms of mook yan jong with muay sangwa? how would you do groundfighting movements and pplication? sum looked like jujutsu

[wclanna]

Sawatdee krub ... Kru Pedro :)

[universatile]

Awesome.

[Ubekaa]

Outrageously clean technique - great stuff :-)

[GarlandMuay]

Perhaps the saddest thing to witness is the dissolution of culture as people from generation to generation gravitate towards other things and lose touch with their roots. (not to say modernized muay thai is bad at all, sometimes we, as fighters, just forget where we come from) You are doing a tremendous service by preserving these rare, ancient southeast asian fighting arts which are quickly disappearing into obscurity and antiquity even amongst those who search them out. Thank you, sir!

[Yarwer]

absolutely immense, i would love to spar with you - great ideas and knowledge

[pabloskitchen]

wicked vid

[pangolin9]

I think Khun Pedro should visit an old teacher of mine in malaysia by the name of Jak Othman. He is teaching the malay version of muay called Tomoi. He is also well versed in bersilat of harimau gayong and hius family art harimau berantai(to chain the tiger). He at one time lived in L.A. while attending UCLA. He also knows guru Inosanto.  Also about hearing his trip to Indonesia he should stop in to Bandung and train at Pau Suwandas(RIP) school under Bambang his brother.

school

[jayavarman]

The ancient Siam copied the art from Khmer but either lost in translation or word was too hard to use in the Siam dialogue, so word cut off (i.e. Khmer Krom to Khom but was not dare to change the yantra, which still use in Khmer arksar Moul) imagine western the third try to learn, so the confusion will lead to further.

[funasdog]

The ancient Siam didn't "copy" the Khmer but it was so close together, so it influenced just like the Indians influence religion and language to the Khmer. So would it be fair if the Indians try to claim that the Khmer stole their culture?

[jayavarman]

Khmer never deny of the Indians influence. Beside, the Khmer ancestors were from Indian and even name the first kingdom as Kambuja. But this is beside the point and there seem to be a lot of miss perceptions. As long as Muay Thai still practices the culture ritual of Twai Kru (changed to Wai Kru) or the tattoo of Khmer script on their body, it is a pure Khmer invention and should preserve as such.

[Nakorn24]

muay sangha and muay chaiya been with the tai tribes since the kingdom of nanchao in yunnan sipsongpanna. this was the art that help defeat the so call mighty khmer in 1200th that help the tai tribes created sukhothai lan xang lanna kingdom the 3 tai brothers kingdom.. which is northern thailand laos and central thailand. muay sangha is practice only in northern thailand muay chaiya only in the central thais.

[jayavarman]

It's "Sukhotei" means dawn of happiness, not dawn of free LOL as of "Sukhothai."Modern day Thailand is made of a mix of ethnic groups. Southern Thais have Malaysian/Indonesia ancestry. Central and northeast Thailand has Cambodian Ancestry. Sukhotei was a gift from King Jayavarman VII to his daugther princes Maha Davi who married to a Tai general Khun Pha Muang. I am not a historian and it useless to argue.

[jayavarman]

Thailand history claimed Tai people fought Khmer Empire for Tai Independence, but there was no war record founded between the Tai people and the huge Khmer Empire army when the Tai people became Independence from the Khmer Empire. Tai people cant protect their land Nanchao from the Mongol invasion, so Tai people cant fight against the huge Khmer Empire army. Khmer King gave the Tai people freedom. If you want to know the history of Muay Thai, check the Twai Kru (Wai Kru) ritual dance.

[Nakorn24]

no war record maybe in khmer history. every tai history even the tai still in sipsongpanna china has it down that they fought with the khom. 7 prince of the tai son of khun borom invaded suwanapum to exspand the nanchao kingdom. khun lo the older brother took muang swa which is now luang prabang in laos from the khom. khmer had big empire but no people. you control a land that u really couldnt defend. tai had over 81 tribes. the largiest tai was the tai yai yai mean big.

[jayavarman]

Thai alphabets, Thai vowels and Thai numerals were created by Khmers for Tai people. Khmers taught Tai people of Khmer civilization and thats how the Khmer and the Thai culture are identical. Tai people lost their Tai root and origin to the Mongol, then to the Chinese and they lost their Siam root again to the Burmese, so Tai people created a new root now is called Thai means Free.

[Nakorn24]

tai alphabets was not khmer infact the tai in yunnan today still has the old tai script and it look nothing like khmer. the tai in yunnan cant even read your khmer script. tai script is made up of mon and bali put together. thai and tai mean the same thing it means free..thai today in thailand were once known as the tai noi tribes related to every tai...assam india today is all tai ahom tribe. northern vietnam lao cai are all tai deng tribes. and many more tai scatter around

[jayavarman]

Similarity in comparison, it is far if you call English language as American language as oppose to English Language?

[GGSBY]

According to antonio graceffo, kru pedro wanted to travel to cambodia to recognise cambodian bokator as the origin of martial arts in thailand and cambodia. Culture develops by adapting and there's nothing wrong with influence so long as there's some sort of recognition.

[jayavarman]

Let me give you one hint Khmer form of water elements is called Sra Ggair Pan, latest found during King Jayavarman VII, the Khmer Chambabb-wrestling like style, but more emphasis on striking and bone crashing. But it is not Wing Chun LOL!!

[yimmiytube]

you are creating confusions .Muaythai and Kongfu in the same heading.what Sangha means???.

[namphon]

Ajarn Pedro is a excellent teacher and a very nice man.

[istarendil]

I've had the pleasure of enjoying a 2 days (8-9 Nov 08) seminary instructed by Kruu Pedro in Guadalajara, Spain, and it has simply been one of the most fantastic, impressive and enriching experiences I have had in my short life as martial arts student. Thank you very much, Pedro! And best of lucks!

[pantipshot]

Pedro, your combination Wing Chun and Muay Thai

I cant explain how to call that but anyway such a nice way ( Could i call ART OF FUSION )

๋Keep make the new things ... You are great man..

[southerndream]

this is my awesome friend Pedro in this video i met him in Ga at my shop.

[narayanr]

By Ancient Muay Thai and, at the same time, including Wing Chun?

Please, will someone explain this anomaly to me?

[caketaster]

Kruu Pedro trained in WC for several years whilst in america. his forte is muay thai (check his muay thai CV!) but he incorporates some WC aspects into his teaching - the sensitivity, relaxation and so on. his groundwork isn't bad either!

he's a true martial artist and immensely human and funny into the bargain. hope i get the chance to train there again. peace

[narayanr]

Okay, I guess I didn't see the rest of the video! Duh! The Siu Nim Tao, Mook Yan Jong, hello Spaceman (that's me)! LOL

I love it ... I simply love it, dude!

[narayanr]

I love those moves, man!

What is that called and where is it from ... Thailand?

Is that Muay Thai? Traditional Muay Thai, maybe?

I see similarities with the Wing Chun system and it also explains why real Muay Thai fighters always beat WC pretenders (LOL).

I'm a WC guy and I'm saying this ... but htere a lot of similarities with the WC system if you know where to look.

[blackjin21]

lol the last song was mobb deep good job!!

[KHALSAWARRIOR]

Yo finally someone has got Kruu Pedro's skills on youtube..Met him back in summer 2006, very nice and generous man and strict teacher :) Would like to experience training from him again one day, when I have a bit more time and less injuries..

Good stuff!

Bobby

[devilchunner]

do you cross train in both wing chun and muayn thai? do you use these for different ranges?

[LisaBB99]

Great video Kruu!!

[genwolf76]

Superb video. Love the work on the mook jong.

You ARE like water, friend.

[MathewJoki]

Sweet! I can't wait to go train at the new gym myself! Regards to Pedro.

[Guerilla7]

The video works great! nice work, greetings to Pedro, can't wait to get over there and train.

[RDavidLawrence]

Great work Pedro,

It's nice to see old style Muay Thai plus great Wing Chun and Krabri Krabong. Keep up the good work. Thanks for autographing copies of your last book to me. Tyson sent me your link. Peace

R. David Lawrence, Sensei Tokoshi Bujutsu

[asimov231]

awesome, thanks for posting! Greetings to Pedro!

[keo82]

Could someone be so kind as to let me know if this video works? I can't watch youtube videos at home or at work. According to Pedro it doesn't work, but it says 201 views????

Thanks

[TAC412]

@keo82 In case you've not received an answer. yes, the vidoe works and it's so nice to see real Muay from Thailand
