I can see how a these Muay thai fighters are very limited, and can be defeated due to overuse of structure.

@CaIlidus OK buddy. Lemme see how well you take this. I know by experience it's not pleasant. As far as structure.. I don't care what structure you come from, you have to respect it. If you not, you get hurt. Bottom line.

Yeah I just got back yesterday, so sad but will be back. When where you there?

[KhanomRay]

Myself and a couple of students were there October 2005 and again in 2006. I'll be going back to Thailand next Thursday but I'll be staying at FTX in Bangplee and then fighting in Pattaya. Small world, huh? Good luck in your future training/fighting! Do you have any of Phu's fights on video? I would love to see them. I hear he's champion now.

[2kwgenius]

these hard elbows look like they hurt. but these guys both look exhausted

[mrostos]

@CaIlidus muay thai fighters are limited and lose fights? Is that why the best pound for pound fighter in mma is a muay thai fighter?

[ChoyNantha]

@CaIlidus . You are right because Muay Thai today have diverted from their traditional form into something for entertainment. The traditional form are only use for combat for war time and the real Masters who know the combat form will not ever use it as a sport or entertainment but for necessity.

@CaIlidus, Muay Thai is what I use for my stand-up game, but I agree with you in regards to "these two fighters." I actually was uncertain (and still am) whether this was a fight or just loose sparring. They both just looked terrible if this "was" actually was a real fight. The big guy in yellow just lumbered around the rig like a giant sloth with boxing gloves on. No jabs, really. No use of angles. No strait or push kicks at all. And the "Elbow King" dropped his hands while still in range! Sad.

@KhanomRay

I didn't say MT in general.

Structure was probably a poor choice of word.

example if you see both men are very open in some areas. I was trying to point them out if fighting with someone else who wasn't using MT. They would be vulnerable.

Besides I always show respect for martial arts.
