Gotta take those points where i can get them, even if it means cheating a little.

Chaiya reminds me of Regular Sport Muay thai with a "tai chi" midset, of constantly flowing/guarding/ and attacking all at the same time. And not to mention those crazy angle for leg kicks. impressive stuff

[brooklynmonk1]

You got it. exactly right. some people say it looks like sport muay thai, but then with tai chi and wierd leg angles...yeah, that is chaiya

[GregK28002]

Hey Antonio, i know this might be a dumb question but do you think i could learn Chaiya on my own? B/c i can do at least some of the the Chaiya moves and stances... but idk if i could learn on my own

[brooklynmonk1]

It's probably a lot better to learn from a teacher but Kru Nathan Brown has a channel on youtube with all of the exercises on it, so you could take a look at that.
