Im confused. In the movie "Yamada", it shows Muay Thai but then It looks like there is also Muay Boran

Cool video, I wasn't sure if the rumors of Tony Jaa being a Khmer were true or not but it looks like it is. Actually I think I remember you mentioning that he is a Khmer Surin. Funny thing, most Thai people can trace their genealogy to Khmer Roots because of the Angkorians who dominated half of SEA. Most people today don't have a strong Tai lineage
As for Kyuktooki. I've looked into it last year and it actually is a Korean System NOT based on SEA systems but on a Monks martial art 300 years ago

@mpa324 Muay Thai Boran is a tidied up version of Muay Boran(which isn't actually a system). Its tidied up so that many techniques can work with Sports like Muay Thai.

@ichibang15549 In the end, WE ALL ARE ASIAN and HUMANS.

@ichibang15549 Sorry, I am misunderstanding again, Kyuktooki. are you the Thai fighter who fought against the Tae Kwan Do guy and knocked him out? That's so cool.
-
@ichibang15549 Ok I admit publicly THERE ARE MANY STYLES OF MUAY BORAN. So what's your point? Do you think Khmers will like Thai people better if there is more than one style of Boran? The reason I shot this video in surin was because I was looking for Bokator in the Khmer population of Thailand but didnt find it. I did find Adjan Sok Chai who was Tony Jaa;s teacher and in most of Tony jaa's movies.

@ichibang15549 Thsi style existed before the codification of modern sport Muay Thai in the 1920's. As a result, this qualifies as Muay Boran.
Isnt it just Muay Boran,not Muay Thai Boran..Muay Thai is just a cleaner version of Muay Boran I think i could be wrong

@ichibang15549 did you hear me speaking Thai? Yes, I hate Thailand so much that I spent two years learning teh language, then another three years studying Muay Thai and boran and Chaiya with as many teachers as I could, traveling all over the country, writing magazine articles and making videos and TV shows promoting Thailand, and I did all of this because i hate Thailand. What have you done for yoru country apart from attacking me?
