If you ask Sanchai, Rodtang or Tawanchai, I might believe you. Tony Jaa is a lot better, well trained than her for sure
It's different forms…boran chinya Thai ..some older some combat forms
Jumping in the air with his knees are real in a fight. My dad was there thru out many of his fights. Even fighters from all over the world went and lost and why no one wants to admit their lost to him is a shame
"Take a boxing match…. and add in punches". You wanna, you know, rephrase that? ЁЯШЫ
I remember this girl from joe rogans podcast think she broke up with her man at the time for "getting knocked out" when he ended up still winning the fight lol shes a dope fighter tho
ong bak is more of a Muay Boran style than Muay Thai. The Kickboxer movie is not muay thai at all, but rather modern Kickboxing with a touch of Muay Thai.
Raya throws elbows from punch range and gets an 8 while Jean Claude points his toes wrong once while breaking a palm and gets a 4??? ЁЯдб What's she's saying about the toes isn't even clear
@9:47 kru dance, is not different in every school, its the region and style that has difference, mauy comes from 9 regions inclusive of cambodia, older form of hands feet boxing, bokotor. schools dance the dance of there mauy region, not different dances, if you a bokotor fighter you dance your region, korat, boran, thai ect… some fights its offensive to not wear mongkons during a fight others only wear it for tradition it depends on your dicipline and region. plain simple. for 2 decades love im only 12 years your culture education can be deemed offensive.
my freind .. technical levels differ, from 9 of the mauy regions, you lacked on noticing mauy boran, and mauy korat + kmer bokotor, hence the varied styles. and additional technique.. im 12 years in a brown kreet 8th mongkol .. how did you miss that?, yes several forms were not mauy thai. ong bak is 101 mauy boran, mofos claiming its thai should be jailed for incompetence and punished for lack of discipline .
Make a reaction on Tom Yum Goong
Yeah we all agree "Some" of the action [Punch/Kick/Knee/Elbow] is not the most art accurate but you are forgetting those are controlled action [movies] so they have to add some flavor or bend stereotypes for the purpose of cinema otherwise we can simply watch a professional muy thai fight on TV instead of a film[entertainment]
4/10 to van damme? How dare you
Muay thai is a martial of thailand pride
Wow such amazing expert ЁЯШо! Now I wanna see her fight Tony Jaa, a spar at leastЁЯШК
i was expecting her to give a little more of information about MUAY BORAN, yes maam you're right those two stances are distinctive with each other yet muay thai draws way back to its evolution from the ancient fighting stances from muay boran up to its recent modern fighting methiodal – muay thai.
Ring fighters always think they are experts even though they are less than half trained.
Damn beautiful тЭд would love to go a couple of rounds with her ЁЯШКтЭдтЭдтЭд
She says a lot of things are not real because she never does it or she cant do it or she never seen it done. But is that a reason to say its not real? Just because she cant do it, doesnt mean its not real. Something tells me that if a male muay thai fighter would be able to do this. And in sports men are physically stronger , a shin to the head might seem less practical for a woman, because when her shin impact the head it does less damage and more risk of a counter or quick comeback. Maybe try a male champion of muay thai to rate these movies
When you see Tony Jaa in movies .It not muaythai style for sport. You heard her talk about "muaythai boran"(for kill in war) In thai have muaythai boran 5 style
– muay chaiya(south)
– muay lopburey(central region)
– muay taa-saou(North)
– muay korat (Northeast)
– muay pa-la-sig-sa (capital)
Tony Jaa uses muay korat style (his hometown) it has a wider range than other tyres.
Well come to Thailand.
For every fighter she's judging highly doubtful she could beat anyone of them. LOL a woman judging men, typical.
9:00 then do what ?
Looks like boxing shoulder roll/block too
so because you havent seen it done, its not valid! lol
Home girl has never seen Kyokushin conditioning.
Also, girl gang animation good, animation with guy, BAD!
Tony Jaa, Ong Bak…..legendary. The firat movie is still the best one.
Ur not a real muay tai Tony jaa is classic
There is a video with Corridor Crew where a swordfighting expert explains that a good fight should tell a story, which is why the first big swordfight in Princess Bride is one of the best ever filmed. That fight in Raya is not only an excellent fight in its own right, it also tells a story and has a story behind it.
" knee " kick is NOT actual your knee cup , it's lower part of thigh .
She said "it's not anything I've seen"….so she practicea Muay Thai but has never been to Thailand?
It's a movie come on there will always be something extra
Why a woman?
Done
Yea..that Street Fighter anime is trash in general lol.
How bout get an actual Muay Boran practitioner/master from Thailand to do the review and translate
Muay thai juste like joe Higashi
i wanna see you in an exhibition match with tony
a champion woman? how cute.
I do have a lot of respect her. But however tony jaar is a legand .
