leloup Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Eh, what's an FFC match? Fearless fighting championship? Any clue on their difference, as an organizing body, from URCC? Primary difference are the rules. FFC fights in an Octagonal ring using cyclone wires while URCC uses a regular boxing ring. FFC fights are 3 rounds of 5 mins each (to others who are reading this, please correct me if I'm wrong) and URCC are 2 rounds of 10mins each. FFC has judges to rule the match in cases that there are no submission or knockdown, while in URCC there are no judges and the ony way to win is via knockdown, submission or referee stoppage. FFC follows the UFC format while URCC follows the early Pride FC format. Both rules have their pros and cons. Quote Link to comment

smart-ass Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 For those who know...What's the difference between muay Thai and Burmese Boxing??what about way kru??? ( did i get the spelling right???) some info tnx!! Quote Link to comment
Bardamante Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 what are the tactics and strategies for group fighting?? Not one individual againstmultiple opponents... but one group against another group... would the rulesof 'closing ranks' or the phalanx, etc. apply to modern setting? Not really. Phalanxes assume a large mass of fighters on each side, with ranks 3 or more men deep and around 10 or more men wide. Not only that, it assumes very specific weapons like shields that more or less cover your whole body. For the modern setting, fighting like "barbarians" would be better. This means high skill with your weapon (fists pipe or whatnot) and a lot of spacial awareness ("feeling" where your opponents and allies are with respact to where you are). No other way to learn this thatn to practice I guess. Anybody who has better suggestion would be welcome. Quote Link to comment

I personally like pride a bit more than UFC, but I've no prefference between URCC and FFC (haven't seen enough to make a judgement) Quote Link to comment

No other way to learn this thatn to practice I guess. Anybody who has better suggestion would be welcome. Spatial awareness....but it would be like taking on several opponents at one time .... fighting AS A UNITwould make up for whatever lack of skills an individual may have....Like the pikemen of the middle ages...As applied to modern setting...let's say unarmed combat...AN EXAMPLE: a punch or kick could easily beblocked or grabbed by one person...or might even be 'absorbed'... while his friend could deliver a counterattack, almost simultaneously...the attacker would be dealing with a "unit"...he may hit one person.... but his companion would be unhurt launch a counterattack...CAN ANYONE SUGGEST SOME BOOKS ON FIGHTING EN MASS ?.....THIS IS ONE TOPIC THAT SEEMS TO ESCAPE MARTIAL ARTS IN GENERAL.... Thanks for any info!!!... Quote Link to comment
Olympus Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 For those who know...What's the difference between muay Thai and Burmese Boxing??what about way kru??? ( did i get the spelling right???) some info tnx!! I thin Burmese boxing has a few different techniques but I may be wrong. The Wai Kru is a dance done before a match to pay homage to their teacher, gym adn art of muay thai Quote Link to comment
leloup Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 For those who know...What's the difference between muay Thai and Burmese Boxing??what about way kru??? ( did i get the spelling right???) some info tnx!! Burmese Boxing and muay thai are very similar. The main difference is that muay thai is safer because they use gloves while burmese boxing is done bare knuckled. That's why only a few practice this art because of the brutality of the sport. Wai Kru is a dance/ritual paying homage to the school/gym/teacher where you came from. Each school has their own wai kru and you can determine the style of your opponeng by watching their wai kru. Some muay thai experts can predict the outcome of the match by just watching the wai kru. Aside from paying homage, a wai kru also serves as a warm up or stretching a few minutes before the fight and also to feel the ring. It also serves as a psychological weapon against your opponent because you can taung your opponent while doing it. If you've watched the Wai Kru of Buakaw Por Pramuk and John Way Parr they would often make actions such as pointing an imaginary gun or an imaginary bow and arrow at their adversaries.

Plakat Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 When I was a Kid I used to train Tai Chi Chuan since my late grand father was a Kung Fu/Tai Chi Chuan master back in China. Then during my high school days I tried Yaw Yan in Pasay for a while. Then continue my Muai Thai training in Por Pramuk Gym in Thailand for 6 months straight (6 days a week, 8 hours a day). I tried few boxing after going back to Manila (Elorde Gym) while I was in college and few trainings of Muai Thai with a friend while we were studying. After college I went back to my former Gym in Thailand and did Muai Thai again and tried to compete in Nakhon Ratchasima stadium. I was able to win several fights and lost some fights too but it's a good experience and I'm happy with it. Today I'm in Manila and working in a private company and by March next year I'm planning to go back to Thailand and visit my master and train there again. As to join some fighting again ? I'm not sure yet coz I don't want my ass to get kicked by them again lol Quote Link to comment

I heard that they are not accepting farangs. I've always wanted to train there (actually train along side Buakaw). I'm planning to go to Kaewsamrit in Bangkok or Lanna in Chiang Mai during next year's Holy Week. But if they are open to foreigners, might go there instead. Quote Link to comment
