[SeventhDoorOpen]

[HATBAHATBA]

[ax9995]

[mikist]

[Emmure10signs]

I'd like to make her Mona.

[ShinFahima]

Wow, I'm actually surprised! :D This video was great, and actually quite informative. XD And the music wasn't crazy annoying like it is in a ton of other videos.

[TheFirstChadJ]

Thanks!

[TehBuddaChris]

ive always had this muay thai stance when i was little and im aiming for the head when i kick and im good with using my elbow knock outs but i asked my dad if he ever took muay thai bach there when he lived in thai land and he said he never did

[Payyotee]

nice instruction! 

[scorcher165]

Off to my first Muay Thai lesson in 15 minutes >< I'm a bjj practitioner though :P

[chopchop2495]

@scorcher165 same here, looking at starting muay thai aswell would it be worth it?

[Tankedloki]

@scorcher165 How was Muay Thai class? I just started taking Muay Thai also. I love it. Great workout and so much fun!

[xRieZx]

good vid & cool guy

[The137313]

@krupple that's not Asian porno music, it's music that the thai people play while muay Thai fights.

[krupple]

What's up with the Asian porno music in the background?

[melo15813]

What's the difference between Dutch muay Thai and Thailand muay Thai?

[belovedGhost777]

@melo15813 Fundamentals, Footwork (In Muay Thai its more of a slight sliding movement while in Dutch they step and its a bit wider), stance, Technique, The way they do there clinches (Or if its what you call a clinch), and quite a few more

[PakhtunLion]

What song is playing: 00:32-00:1:36

please tell me!

[Bebopchiflow]

what you see in ufc is not muay thai

[JgHaverty]

@Bebopchiflow you're an idiot. Its mixed martial arts, so its not going to be complete muay thai. Until your ass steps in that ring, shut your mouth.

[Bebopchiflow]

@JgHaverty no shit sherlock but do you know how many people try to learn muaythai through watching ufc fighters, who dont really know anything about muaythai besides the round house and the elbow

i think your the idiot for trying to write something

[metalwaffle94]

@Bebopchiflow some moves ARE based on muay thai

[Bebopchiflow]

@metalwaffle94 alright but they still need to modify thier stance in order to deffend a take down and other modified moves so its not really muay thai, its just taking what you like out of it and calling it muay thai.

[okonkwibangosana]

Im currently taking taekwondo and muay thai classes, its brutal considering both are 2 classes per week, but they payoff looks like it will be worth the strain.

[jitskid831]

@wannaknowit do you want an ass massage??? I'll hook you up;)

[wannaknowit]

I had my first Muay Thai lesson yesterday evening.It is the most brutal thing I've ever done.I have really sore muscles,arms,ass,hahaha but for some reason I loved it(I am a female) Lots of pushups we have to do(I can do only 1 appropriately)lots of situps,and we did much practice on the paos.m The lesson killed me.took out all my energy,but I am glad I found MT!!Gonna do it twice a week.:-))))

[mike32110]

I am very impressed with this video. Only thing I'd recommend would be maybe a bit less music so we can hear ya more. Has a lot of really good info.

[posiedon99]

this is wrong all wrong this is why American will always will lose in fighting

[MegaKonto1]

hahahahahahah

[NightmareSTD]

@SaulRisteTV no... your lead leg is always back so you can generate a more powerfull kick, get an education

[TheJovanist]

This video was very well made.

[555EnterNameHere666]

UNLESS U GET ELBOWED TO TEH FAZEH!

[ronnytravisbarker22]

i want to learn muay thai i am taking karate right now

[Grdian]

Ah... I wanted to see him knee someone in the face... Since its based on the 8 points of the body I expected elbows and knees really >..>

Ty for vid was helpful ^_^

Quick question though. The way you were folding ur hands for punching... Was that to mimic a glove or for other reasons?

[southernprep5]

id like to learn this stuff in more depth but its way expensive to learn, for me atleast. I cant see paying 100 a month for 2 or 3 group lessons a week.

[immortaliserwow]

@SaulRisteTV You are right handed.When in guard your left arm and left leg are always in front of the right (back ) leg. Save for the left handed guys or guys like Jerome Le Banner who is right handed but plays with a stance for left hander. The purpuse of holding your stong arm back is that your cross punch becomes more powerful, and u also hide the liver better.

[alexforcefive]

Don't drop your hands when you kick, you'll get punched in the face

[sagmann20]

@alexforcefive the hand has to come down, for leverage and power, the other hand protects your face

[wowstefaniv]

Its a very good sport i train it :D

[YeahPaulDay]

i would listen but the guy is american not Thai XD

[gkdrummerboy]

Is it  a good idea to take rooting from Shotokan and use it in Muay Thai Boxing?

[aol909]

Yes it will help because you will get good conditioning as well as good striking. So when you start in muay thai you will have a good knowledge about combat and good combos.

[westtristan96]

Nice vid,Im 13 and im trying to find a school to start going to.

[123destruccion]

muay thai is good, but tony jaa is mainly acrobatic artist, his mauy thai is not really good...

[urmumsbaps]

That's like saying Bruce Lee's kung fu wasnt that good...

[x3100gamer]

@urmumsbaps when bruce lee shoted his film in thailand ,many thai boxer want to fight with him,and the result is each muay thai beated in only less than 10s

[TheLostDrifterVan]

who the hell are you to say that

[revolutionize017]

i wanna learn muay thai and other martial arts. i want to be like Tony Jaa.

[chross1984]

capoeira is alot of fun

[shadowsabere]

@revolutionize017 Tony Jaa is an Actor, he's more acrobat than a fighter.

Take a look at Bruce Lee, he's more than a fighter !

[immortaliserwow]

@shadowsabere Bruce Lee got bitten up by his 70 or 80 years old master Ip Man when they last sparinged. ALso he had refused a number of chalenges by Mas Oyama. He was an actor too

[RaggaDnB]

@revolutionize017 I don't think Tony Jaa watches youtube, you might want to start with that.

[MOHDSALAH1991]

@revolutionize017 tony jaa is just an actor who can do muay thai , Buakaw Por Pramuk is the real shit

[capoeira2brazil]

@MOHDSALAH1991 Totally agree with you.

[TheOmalley666]

@MOHDSALAH1991 if Buakaw does a film with Muay Thai, then i'd like to know it?.. otherwise it's Tony Jaa for me :P

[byen8]

can anybody tell me the differences between muay thai, kickboxing and boxing apart from the obvious

[joeybraveheart]

well muay thai is similar to kickboxing , but its more vicious and u can use elbows and knees wich cant used in kickboxing. boxing is different , its only punches.

[muaytb1]

muay thai is the art of 8 limbs: 2 knees, 2 elbows, 2 fists, 2 shins/feet. kickboxing is the art kicking and boxing (mostly no low kicks, unlike muay thai). boxing= just boxing. thats the biggest difference.

[kumquatsta]

interesting, more vids

[billabong2067]

YEAH BEEN TOLD MOSTLY BY FEMALES

[yamasakiasami]

lol, instant redemption

[Vangardthedrifter]

hey whats the names of the songs

[Vangardthedrifter]

he thats the realcontactfighter guy

[EXPdrummer]

Nice! you seem like a top bloke mate.One question, Is Muay thai the same as Thai boxing?

oh, also do you practice the jabs and kicks on other people(open palms obviously) or on a punching bag?

Thanks man

[Vangardthedrifter]

dude muay thai is thai boxing it's just another name

[urmumsbaps]

Its just like any other martial art, they spar as well as using pads and bags.

[santhorhongwei]

the music is funny. The stance looks like mma more than muay thai stance.

[ren41093]

tnx
