I'm very interested to learn and try Muay Thai since I have a strong background in martial arts with wushu, taichi and aikido. :D
ReplyDeletei have a friend who's doing muay thai. it excites me to learn that lesson because of this. thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteoh i am so interested to learn this type of martial art...great post!
ReplyDeleteSeems like a cool way to start learning Muay Thai, such a nice environment as well :)
ReplyDeletethis is really great! i've seen some of this before since we are always in thailand. The resort where we always stayed in pattaya thailand has a muay thai place near them. x0~ www.tauyanm.com
ReplyDeletemy cousin is half filipino and half thai. and at school in thailand, they are required to learn muay thai.. she showed us and its pretty amazing. shes a girl and shes like a little warrior when she performs. i wonder, is muay thai same with thai kick boxing?
ReplyDeleteA Thai who stumble upon this blog accidentally.
DeleteTo answer your question: Not exactly.
Kickboxing (in the West or in Japanese) is mixed with Muay Thai, Karate, and Western boxing. I don't know much about the rule but from what I saw, they don't use elbows or knees as much as Muay Thai do.
FYI, Muay Thai from the gyms is adapted from ancient Mauy Thai (which we sometime called Muay Boran) for less violence to be sport. If you want to see Mauy Boran, see the first episode of Ong Bak by Tony Jaa. Some of his moves in the film is Muay Boran.
For those who want to visit my country, welcome anytime. Thailand is not different from other country in that we have both good and bad things, also good and bad people. (Hope you the first :)) We don't speak English as our native language so there might be a bit language barrier, but most Thai, esp. middle class, can understand English. They're just too shy to speak. But if you need any help, just tell them that you are Filipinos and you need their help, most of them will do.
Happy trip no matter where you go!
I heard about this sports and really the best for youngsters nowadays. Glad you experienced this at Thailand.
ReplyDeleteI would like to learn Muay Thai too just for self defense purposes plus I'd like to go around Thailand of course.
ReplyDeleteThis looks interesting :) Each place really has something different and unique to show.
ReplyDeleteIn highscholl I was very interested to learn all kind of martial arts, I really loved it. Then, I stop practicing it and now I am sorry, because I was good at it. I would love to have one day the chance to learn Muay Thai also.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I have read a lot of positive blog post about Thailand and hopefully I will be able to visit this country in the future.
ReplyDeletehey!! this one is the best!! i used to train with kick boxing for 1 week LOL cause i was skinny at that time they instructed me to gain more weight so it wont be hazardous on my side! i end up lifting iron and ignore muay thai instead hahah..i hope its not too late for me if i tried again.
ReplyDeleteThailand is one of my dream countries.. I am just so into their dramas and movies.. and of course their culture. would like to try this one someday!
ReplyDeleteMuay Thai is synonymous to Thailand and Ong Bak. Such a rich heritage for our neighbor country in Asia. Looking forward in having this country on my vacation list
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if muay thai is within the realms of my physical capacities although I would surely want to experience this if circumstances would allow.
ReplyDeleteWell, my husband is a better person to try this than myself. I am not a very sporty types....he may try his hands on this. Thanks for sharing... Cheers!!!
ReplyDeleteI really want to try Muay Thai here, but my friends say it's really rigorous. I've been to Thailand once and never saw any muay thai gyms in bangkok, maybe when I book a trip to Phuket I'll drop by this gym to learn the basics of Muay Thai
ReplyDeleteThailand is one of the places I really wanna go to!
ReplyDeleteI have a trip in Thailand in my wish list & really like knowing more... I wish, I will have the funds soon to make it happen...
