smart-ass Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 How about avoiding fighting? Sometimes,... YOU CANNOT AVOID FIGHTING... being at the wrong place at the wrong time..everything may seem calm and peaceful one moment... could easily erupt into something violent...I know about walking with confidence..and projecting an appearance that you're not an easy target....avoiding places where trouble could easily erupt...STILL..YOU CAN GET INTO TROUBLE...PARDON ME SIR OLYMPUS.. I HAVE THE SUSPICION YOU HAVEN'T BEEN AROUND TOO MUCH...HUWAG PO MASAMAIN PERO PO YUNG SAGOT NINYO AY PARANG SAGOT NG ISANG TAONG HINDI PA NAKARANAS NG AWAY...maybe... mga school rumbles...and such...pero yung tunay na patayan... I doubt it very much...PLEASE SIR...WHAT I WAS TRYING GET WAS INFO...hindi yung sagot ng mayaman... who lives in an affluent surrounding... where the chances of a violent confrontation is nil...

pedrupenduku Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Kindly ask if Street Fighting Club is an accredited chapter of Muay Association of the Philippines. And who is their instructor? Since you have a friend to train with, I suggest you also buy the thai pads. This will help you with the timing and the distance of executing techniques. Thanks for the complements but I am not qualified to teach the art. I am just and will always be a student. I can give you some tips though and you can always ask me something about muay thai. ====== that's good to hear sir, thanks really appreciate that... my trainer says that what he is teaching us is a modern muay thai, because I am doing some research on the internet regarding the muay thai moves and when I ask him of a particular move that he did not teach us, he will say that that move is from the traditional muay thai... how many kicks of muay thai do you know sir? coz based on the research I did on the internet, it has 6 kicks...

leloup Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Good news to guys located in Las Pinas, there's an accredited MAP chapter in BF Homes. I'm just trying to get permission from the instructor to distribute his contact info. He's the real deal. He's a Philippine Team member (Class C) and won medals in local competitions (in a tournament, he defeated 3 Baguio City muay thai fighers. Fighting Baguio City muay thai practitioners is like fighting Koreans in TKD) and is undefeated at Fearless Fighting Championship. I'm supposed to fight an exhibition match in SM Southmall a few weeks ago but have to beg off because my mom was diagnosed with leukemia. The instructor I think is Eman Sabrine, I'm afraid that he's not an accredited MAP member or chapter. He's a good fighter though, his brother and students would often compete in Yaw-yan matches. that's good to hear sir, thanks really appreciate that... my trainer says that what he is teaching us is a modern muay thai, because I am doing some research on the internet regarding the muay thai moves and when I ask him of a particular move that he did not teach us, he will say that that move is from the traditional muay thai... how many kicks of muay thai do you know sir? coz based on the research I did on the internet, it has 6 kicks...hhmmm. Modern muay thai? Traditional muay thai or muay boran is the foundation of muay thai techniques. It's not commonly thought here and I learned it in Kaewsamrit Gym. Ask your instructor to teach you wai kru, the ceremonial dance done before a match. He can't use the excuse that he's teaching modern muay thai because wai kru is an integral part of muay thai. If you're claiming that you are fighting/competing in muay thai but couldn't do the wai kru then its either B.S. or you're not teaching authentic muay thai. Muay thai has only two kicks that are commonly used, the teep and the round house kicks (and its many variations). They do have turning back kicks but rarely use it in the ring because its takes too long to execute and when you miss, you are at a disadvantageous position that you opponent can take advantage of. How does he execute his roundhouse kicks? Is it chambered or dead legged style? That alone will tell you if your instructor is teaching you authentic muay thai or muay thai flavored with other martial art. Quote Link to comment

Sorry, got an adrenalin pump that blocked my faculty for the English language. Quote Link to comment

That alone will tell you if your instructor is teaching you authentic muay thai or muay thai flavored with other martial art. when you say "chambered" did you mean that the legs are not fully extended? like the leg should be in slightly bended position? if that's what you meant by chambered then yes that's whay he teaches us (pardon my ignorance sir), i don't have any background in any martial arts yet so I wouldn't know if he is teaching us an authentic muay thai or a muay thai flavored with other martial arts, this is the first martial arts I'm learning. He teaches us a thai kick (thigh kick), where in you will kick your opponent at the knee joint, the outer part of the foot will hit the opponent's knee joint, then the round house kick, where in you kick to the rib part or to the head of the opponent. I will ask him to teach us te wai kru, i've ask him once and he knows what that is though... Quote Link to comment
Plakat Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 LeLoup, Please PM me the details in regards to the Muai Thai Gym in BF homes and is it in BF homes Pque or BF Resort Las Piñas ? Thanks Quote Link to comment
leloup Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Olympus and Plakat,PM sent. Pedro Penduku, Chambered means that before fully executing the roundhouse kick, you bend your knees and then straighten it out upon impact at the target. Check a karateka or tkd jin or yaw yan fighter do a roundhouse kick. They would raise their leg (its like doing a leg block) with their calf close to the leg and then extend the shin/knee at the moment of impact. Muay Thai style of roundhouse kick is done dead legged. The shin goes up directly to the target area, there's no chambering of the knee. Imagine doing the kick without the knee involved. I suggest watching videos at youtube and you'll the difference. It's correct that the leg should be on a slightly bended position. Why not asking your instructor to become a member of MAP? We are the accredited sanctioning body for Muay Thai and your gym can participate in any tournaments organized by MAP. Your gymmates/instructors could also try out for the Philippine team if they become accredited chapters. Quote Link to comment

I will try to ask him about that sir, they do join interschool tournament and just last sunday on of his students won the championship in the said tournament, he told us that the kid was only 11 years old and fought in full contact karate. its not muay thai though. He asks us if we want to join a tournament too, but i'm not ready for that... need to undergo a good training first.... Quote Link to comment
