Video Training Course - Muay Thai Chaiyuth by Teacher Chakraphob Charoenrat
The Traditional Art of Muay Thai - Chaiyuth
At
last, an English language video training course on traditional Thai
Boxing,Muay Thai. This martial art form was encouraged by the kings of
early Siam along with sword fighting to build an army capable of
defeating Siam's enemies. It is still encouraged by the Thai Royal Army
to prepare its troops. It has formed the basis of modern day
professional and amateur Muay Thai and the techniques taught in these
videos can be seen in action in the ring every day. Chaiyuth means
"Winning Strategy".
Use these tapes to learn self-defense, Thai
boxing arts and for general physical and mental fitness. Teacher
Chakraphob Charoenrat is Thailand's leading instructor.
For many
generations the art of Muay Thai has been passed on from teacher to
teacher. Teacher Chakraphob was advised by His Majesty King Bhumipol to
continue this practice as his knowledge was a national treasure and
Teacher Chakraphob was obliged to preserve it for future generations.
Teacher Chakraphob writes:
On
this DVD we are going to learn what is called "the relationship
between the nine weapons", i.e. to practice using the hands, knees,
feet and elbows. There are 7 practice series on the DVD, each using the
hands, knees, feet and elbows alternatively, both offensively and
defensively, from the front, back, side or all four directions.
In
ancient days, the teachers divided Thai boxing into 3 categories with
12 primary forms, altogether 36 forms. If they are mixed together more
than 108 forms can be obtained. These 108 forms are being continuously
developed and the outcome is infinite.
If we practice until we
are skillful, we will be able to create various forms and use our
weapons naturally and effectively. It all depends on how much each
boxer has mastered the primary and secondary forms. After learning the
boxing skills I hope you will practice and become a good and kind
person in society and in your nation too.
