im the one with the Baby blue boxing gloves in the back. im jairo testing for my next rank. look at 2:06 for a nice kick, that really hurt...lol. i got tested by my instructor Sergio, at the yamasaki academy. www.grappling.com
@RMSny well that "real thai test" looks a lot easier than the one in this video. The kru in your video watch?v=HUcTLj1GjNQ is not striking even close as hard as the one in this video.
There's no such thing as "real this" & "real that", unless you have some kind of Asian fetish. All Martial Arts evolve & adapt to where they've migrated. No school is bound to some exact system somewhere in Thailand b/c even in Thailand, there are variations of MT in different schools.
So the instructor is allowed to punch and kick you but you're just allowed to hit the pads. Good job Sergio, I like your rules. By the way there are no ranks in muay thai. What's next? Black belt in boxing? LOL!
@tabwyo I think there are better ways to test thaiboxing skills than kicking pads for three minutes...

@MrTylerDurden, Testing is required if you wish to become an instructor (Kru).

@vankuen I think the reason would be to kinda of gage what level you are and how your progressing???

@AyamKremes08 right but when you are tested you can't hit a trainer with the elbow

What's the purpose of testing when there's no ranking outside of fights?

Props to both these students. Especially the guy, he had it alittle tougher and walked through fire for the win

no leg kicks in kickboxing, this is more of a western based muay thai
