Martial Arts

Learning the art of defense is essential when studying any style of 'empty-hand' combat no matter whether it'd be Karate, Jiujitsu, Kung Fu, Wing Chun, or Tae Kwon Do... for starters. And, it's an even more crucial element in the study of Muay Thai ! This particular style of Muay Thai which most people often refer to as "Muay Boran" (or "ancient boxing") will allow you to protect the ends of your hairs to the tips of your toes... so to speak. Proper training in the art will allow an automatic type of response to occur in a confrontation without the need to think or hesitate about what to do. Every reaction would occur spontaneously ! It's as if we were reprogramming the psyche until the body's reaction becomes "muscle memory" and we will react in accordance to how diligent our training has been when we're faced with any type of given situation or two. For example... when we see the opponent's fist or shoulder move as we're about to receive a punch from that very same opponent, our foot is ready to fling upwards and kick ! Or, our shin is ready to swing by leaning the body backwards and away from the opponent's incoming fist ! As a result of kicking this way, the opponent's fist will never have an opportunity to reach our face. This is practicing a technique until it becomes "second nature". There are still so many other ways to defend one's self automatically for a variety of situations such as getting pushed in the chest, grabbed by the wrist, slapped, or kicked... for starters. I hope that everybody will train with determination until they obtain the true essence of the art !

preface

Hi ! Allow me to introduce myself. I am Master "Lek" and I teach the art of traditional Thai style self-defense. Traditional Thai style self-defense is also known as "Muay Thai" !

First and foremost, we must align our entire body into the correct position as if creating a fence (or protective perimeter) around a house to keep out intruders.

Our arms and legs should be correctly positioned for the purpose of guarding the body so that we will know what to do when we get punched or kicked by an opponent.

When we are positioned in a way that allows us to block attacks easily, it means that we have obtained effective self-defense skills. Whoever masters this particular aspect of traditional Thai martial arts will be safely guarded in the best possible way.

The traditional Thai style of self-defense that I'm speaking of here is known as "Muay Thai Chaiya" which was founded by "Por Tarn Mar" of "Tung Jab Chang" temple. It is a self-defense art that is profound and circumspect. This fighting style will allow you to protect the ends of your hairs to the tips of your toes, so to speak !

And, it will allow you to execute counterattacks while... simultaneously... defending without the opponent ever knowing about it !

So I hope you all decide to undertake the study of this unique fighting art. Thank you.
