Is Muay Thai really dat powerful?
-
Watched Tom Yum Goong on VCD just now. Sia la, the fight scenes got alot of bone crunching sounds! Is Muay Thai deadly enough to break bones with a single blow? Or is it the show kay siao one? Then towards the end Tony Gaa kana beat by the huge wrestlers nth happen, still can get up. Den he use the elephant bone shaft to rip up their hamstrings, make them all can;t move! Cool sia!!!

it depends on the skills of the individual, not the arts itself.
-
The art emphasizes more on whacking at the joints of enemies , I noticed. Unlike Karate right? which is just using brute strength to attack
-
It's more about the techniques, styles and spirits of individual martial arts. Skills are just secondary.

karate involves physics, like apply force across a minimal area for maximum blow, making people fall by losing their centre of gravity etc.Originally posted by markzz:The art emphasizes more on whacking at the joints of enemies , I noticed.

Tony Jaa is a fraud. I will kick his ass!
Seriously though, it is like what dragg said. It has virtually nothing to do with which art is being utilised, but rather the ability of the user himself. -
Tony Jaa is the best.
-
You are a fraud. I will punch your face.

yes, but throwing is also taught in karate cos.... why not? basically you lift the guy on your lower back (with your leg please, don't hurt your back!), moving his feet off the ground and hence making him lose his balance, then you just have to turn over your body and he's on the ground.Originally posted by markzz:I tot slamming pple and making them fall is Judo and Akido respectively?

"This also turns your opponents' momentum against them. When you sweep a blow away to the side, your opponents' own momentum pull them forward, upsetting their balance. This leaves them vulnerable to attack; you can land a successful hit or pin them to the ground. You might also grab attackers and pull them forward, increasing their forward momentum. Using this defense, a karateka can throw attackers to the ground. Throwing is not a central element in karate, but it does play an important part in other martial arts forms, notably judo and aikido." -

Muay Thai is a pretty deadly art. Very skilled practictioners can strike once and you will fall.Originally posted by markzz:Watched Tom Yum Goong on VCD just now.

However, nowadays martial arts are just for performance sake. They aren't as deadly as they used to be last time. -
I have seen countless videos of Tony Jaa. He is a fellow martial arts trickster, that is why. He can really jump, I concur.Originally posted by le cruz:Tony Jaa is damn strong. His leg power

It's a pretty powerful one actually. I've a friend in Thailand and her dad is a Muay Thai boxer. The past experiences shared by him is scary.

True. My teacher has a friend who is skilled in Shaolin Boxing (traditional). He can just give you one punch and that's it, you will be injured seriously.Originally posted by photo_seeker:It's a pretty powerful one actually.

If you go Thailand and find those old masters to teach you Muay Thai, you will be surprised how deadly the moves are. -
I've seen on SCV a Muay Thai training camp in Thailand. The fighters there are so THIN! They do not have 6 packs like strong fighters but when they kick the sandbags, can hear the blows very loudly!! With just 1 kick, they can make the sandbag swing quite a distance - the sand bags are very heavy, no joke!Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:True.

Sometimes pple get killed in a Muay Thai match! I know the most common cause of death in Western Boxing is Brainshake ( when the brain gets slammed about the skull due to a serious blow to the head ) -
Wrestling? Savate?Originally posted by markzz:I tot slamming pple and making them fall is Judo and Akido respectively?
