13 Muay Chaiya Techniques

When in Bangkok I visited a rare teacher of Muay Chaiya (a southern style of old-school Muay Thai) named Kru Lek. His motto is "defend, defend, defend." My friend gave me a DVD of a Thai action film "Chaiya" (ไชยา), in which a student of Kru Lek stars and for which Kru Lek acted as an adviser. The special features has these awesome Chaiya demonstrations - the guy who is in the black trunks is the Kru Lek student/actor (Tae - PRAWIT KITTICHANTEERA). There are 13 techniques here, most of them counters to attack:

I want to study with Kru Lek when I go back to Thailand.

[MasterKMuayThai]

@BuddhaBoyzKrew Yes, he still trains with Kru Lek.

@EricSemenko these techniques were originally used to kill your opponent so it is best suited for self defense on the streets but most of the moves are illegal in the ring so the modern style mauy thai is best suited for the ring

[EricSemenko]

Hmm are these techniques good for defending yourself on the street? and could they work well in the ring? They seem like they can but I'm not entirely sure XD

@fgsf9 As i know is this Chaiya style they block and fight at the same time and you would always see beautiful movement and danger at the same time as well, other 3 of them is danger too but in different forms. (too long to explain and i don't know if you have time to read) :)

@fgsf9 Speaking of old style of Muay Thai, there are only few teachers know that there are 4 different types of them and all of them have different style of training and fighting. To explain clearly might take too long i recoment that you should just find a good one and take your time to study so you will understand how it work more, by the way.... Muay Thai that we see fighting on the ring each day it's not any type of old style, we just pic the easied move from old style.
