Patcherson Says:

Jun 3, 2010 - this is VERY similar to the techniques used in shotokan karate.

Aug 7, 2010 - It's very interesting to see Muay Thai katas. I didn't think they practiced them.

cerkuenik Says:

Nov 12, 2010 - coz thailand and okinawa were very related in medieval times

Dec 13, 2010 - OSU! I do Koei Kan which uses Naha ten and Shuri te. It is also very chinese connected to its roots of a form of Kung Fu. I see here how all the martial arts arerelated but differ idealistically like here the katas parry but at least in what I learned so far in koei kan's pinan katas throws are hidden every where.

Oct 3, 2011 - Does anyone know the Thai term for forms? I know kata is the more well-known term, but out of respect for the art I think it's better to use terms they would use.

Oct 4, 2011 - The Japanese word, kata, can be roughly translated as form, a kind of shadow boxing which applies karate techniques in a series of memorized patterns. But to those who really understand kata training know that there is much more to it than that.

Oct 8, 2011 - From what I've seen here, starting with block and then retaliation, Muay Boran's tactics resemble more traditional martial arts like Kung Fu and Karate. Plus, with modern sports Muay Thai, roundhouses are thrown full circle (body spins around on toe unless it hits something solid). Here, the leg is retracted, much like a Karate Mawashigeri with the foot flat on the ground - less momentum, but more control.

Oct 16, 2011 - HOLY SHIT!! This looks like okinawan karate.

farorin Says:

Oct 28, 2011 - Yeah, just with slightly different and more elbows and knees, but othwerwise I was thinking the same thing!

pajaritodelodio Says:

Feb 5, 2012 - i dissagre my friend, thailand never had conflicts with china, only with birmania, but you are right..using the vitla presuure pints of kung fu can easily beat a muay thai opponent, but if this opponent has knowledge of muay boran...kung fu is usless...

untaket Says:

Mar 13, 2012 - This acient muay thai in the past

untaket Says:

Mar 13, 2012 - Boran mean ancient

haffoc Says:

Apr 11, 2012 - fascinating. thanks for posting. as Patrick McCarthy says "karate" methods, similar to those shown here, are combative rather than sportive, intended for a serious fight on the street and not in the ring.
