buakaw has over 185 wins I dont think he cares were he fights

[NakMuayThai]

Buakaw most definitely cares where, when, he fights, and how much is paid!!!

[fu3ar25]

@NakMuayThai whatever Buakaw gets paid he deserves it..he trains harder than anybody.... if anyone has an issue with his money then they are just jealous

[NakMuayThai]

What professional wouldn't care was my point.

Wai khru is more of a dance that based on thai/S.E asia methology. it's also a way of give a respect to your teacher/trainer. Respect is much important in thai society even in a bloody sport. Unlike MMA or reg. boxing. Truely,it's a way of warming up your mind and body before a fight. every figter goes through unimaginable thoughts before a match. Wai khru is sort of calm them down.

[ploiwang]

Not only nak muay Thai has to wai kroo, most or all of professionals, particularly in arts and sports, have to pay respect to their teachers. It is a part of Thai culture or tradition. The core concept of this is that they have learned or gained knowledges from someone who are worth respecting. Hope my English does not suck.

buakaw's wai kru is epic.

[thunderchundering]

@MuayThaiViking dont disrespect anyone.

[MuayThaiViking]

i loved the warren fight. warren was trying to push buakaw in the weight and be a tough guy. buakaw just had that silly, goofy thai smile :D like he would never harm a fly

then in the fight buakaw does the wai kru right up in his face, and the poor guy was just backing up in the corner while buakaw was doing the shooting arrows dance to him.. and in the fight he ended up kicking im to little pieces :D

dont disrespect fighters like him :-)

[ewatkinson]

@disbealec its an arrow, that position is called Pra ram tam kwong or Rama following a deer, he circles his head as he pulls the arrow from his back he misses twice (you can see him shake his head) on the third one he hits (you can see him nod) there are lasso muay rams but this is an arrow.

[RDbushi]

is it me or is buakaw not coming from the heart with this ram muay

[pepehorhae]

i wonder what would be the crowd reaction if this was done before in the boxing ring and tyson did this 0.0 :) i dont know why but i am very attracted to that dance :)

@miguelz234 you can not beat the bow & arrow - stamp combination! :P

[u2bdancer]

muaythai is not just punch, kicks, knee and elbow...it's much more than what you see. A good nuk muaythai respects others and treats others as if he'd want to be treated. He knows how to accept the truth when he lose the fight, and he doesnt be come arrogant when he won. WAI-KRU is the heart of muay thai. without his teacher (Kru) he is nobody. wai-kru is showing respect to his teacher, important people, and things in his life. in thai : Wai = show respect, kru = teacher. so, open your mind.

[misticoguay]

It´s so beautiful....

[miguelz234]

@disbealec a lasso... when i do my wai kru i do bow and arrow.. some do sword and stuff
