    More Thai martial arts needs to be in the spotlight. Thailand has a rich pedigree for warrior art's. Muay Letrit used in real self-defense would do a lot of damage depending on the user. Unlike muay thai? Art defense becomes its offense, and every defensive counter is responded with a counter offensive. Art very unique, thank you for bringing it too the spotlight.

    That’s how I teep! A lot of these things I was taught when first getting in to Muay Thai. I feel like this stuff was more commonplace during the golden age of Muay Thai. That wrist strike was taught to me, I think between 200-2003 in Chiangmai. Using it to the side/back of the neck or jaw as a bridge into clinching was my go-to for some time.

    The hand blocking technique looks very similar to a regular cross block used against a heavy kicker - just applied differently. That’s why I love traditional martial arts evolved in to fighting sports. At the base of every technique used, there’s always something that can be used in actual combat. If you look at kickboxing for instance it only has roots in other martial arts it is not a martial art in it’s own right and is purely a sport. It lacks base in tradition where the object was survival. In Muay Thai there are sooo many techniques that are not commonly applied in ring fights because they don’t make sense in a sport setting (with gloves etc).

    @9:34 They teach something similar to this elbow, although more forward and vertical, in Judo as a block to prevent a takedown... as the opponent turns his hip to throw you, you "block" their hips.... No one liked me in Judo class... I could not do this without hurting my partner.... I kept asking, what am I doing wrong,, and they said "nothing :/"

    The only problem i see with that block of the kick is that if the opponent fakes the kick you are going to be open to a straight or a hook.

    • @jonathanmorgan1331
      @jonathanmorgan1331 Před 2 lety

      Would blocking the kick with your bare hand actually work tho I’m just thinking about it.. it seems like your hand is way weaker than a kick so if someone is doing a full force kick at your hand wouldn’t that be potentially bad smacking into your open hand ? The elbow makes sense but your actual hand my hand and fingers are some of the weakest part of my body I feel like a direct kick with clashing forces would kill my hand lol

      @@boxing.ascetic I am by no means an expert in karate. However, I see a bit of resemblance of kyokushin karate in the rigid stance, hip turn and whip-like kicks shown in the first minute of this video czcams.com/video/gxiURje_Wm0/video.html
      Also, the last backhand punch/forearm strike shown by the General looks a lot like this strengthening forearm exercise in the Uechi Ryu Karate as shown in the 2:14 minute mark of this video czcams.com/video/26jo_r1UQew/video.html
      Having said that. I am not implying any kind of external influence or contamination of the art by Karate. There are a limited ways a human body can move. So I'm just noticing some resemblance between the two martial arts. Also I don't intent to diminished the influence Muay Boran has. Which is notable as well.
