Muay Thai Chaiya Techniques - Basic Kicks Part 01

[sportmuaythai]

nathanbrown19, I appreciate foreigner taking deep interest in Thai culture. What brought you to MC? Have you done any ring sport muaythai? If so, what differences have you found?

[blackangel1113]

Thank you! I'm currently learning muay thai from my dad, but I think it's harder on him since he's not young anymore. :D I can't wait to use this on boys at my school!

[nathanbrown19]

@OosteifoO powerful but miss = u die in the war

Muay Chaiya looks like such a great style I know it fares well against ring muay thai what I'm wondering is how well it does against other styles say MMA.

The one legged hop seems like an opening for a takedown have you had any experience sparring with MMA fighters?

[nathanbrown19]

@Z3N1T4 I've played a bit, but not enough. It's on my to-do list to get my ground game up, and play more cross discipline.

You're right that the raised knee guard does look like an opening for a grapple, grabbing the leg is one of the best forms of leverage on a take down, luckily, Muay Chaiya isn't just about that guard ;)

I've put a fair amount of thought behind countering a grappler shooting, and there are a number of techniques that MC has that could do the job.

[MERVILLE3]

@nathanbrown19 Check out Anderson Silva to see how to counter a grappler.

[OosteifoO]

Stupid video I do Thaiboxing about 6 years and nobody kick like that -.-

no powerful!

[nathanbrown19]

@OosteifoO lmfaoo... and during that time you've only done ring style, and don't even consider other possibilities?

The power comes from the whole body, not from the scissor like movement of the ring style kick. Loads of weight from the body, quick, no telegraphing, moving out of range of attacks, works with several defensive movements, leads onto a multitude of attacks... it's not easy to learn (and harder to master) but the benefits are obvious - to the open minded.

@OosteifoO I have trained thai boxing for over 20 years,1 year of that in thailand.

I have also studyed muay chiaya privatly with nathan brown.It is a very effective and lethal martial art without question.

If you think it is not an effective style.i sugest you get yourself down to baan chang thai.Put on a pair of gloves and spar with Tae or nathan.If you have an open mind you will be very impresed indeed i can assure you that.

@OosteifoO

If you could balance, you'd be able to transfer the power from your hips into your opponent better.

Turning your body so you're facing downwards opens your hips giving you maximum rotative thrust from your leg kicks. Same thing if you do a Corkscrew aerial [correct me if i'm wrong]

[Bebopchiflow]

great video

it was very useful.

can't wait to see more

are you still at kru leks school?

[nathanbrown19]

@Bebopchiflow Glad you find them useful :)

I was at Baan Chang Thai last for about 10 days before coming back to the UK on Saturday.

I should be back there in a couple of months - this'll be my longest time out of Thailand in 8 years!

[UFMD1]

Your videos are very helpful and well made. Figures you'd be in the U.K. when I'm gonna be in Thailand! lol But thanx for these videos, it really helps alot!
