  If you go Thailand and find those old masters to teach you Muay Thai, you will be surprised how deadly the moves are.

  Yes. they don't appear muscluer, but their blows are very very deadly.

  But I know Steve Blackman is trained in Oriental Martial Arts. Which 1, I'm not sure! But during hardcore / no DQ matches, he likes to use his twin sticks or long Kendo stick!
  
  Now no more Steve Blackman..but nvm, still got Steve Austin!

  shoot fighting simply means real fighting. Although it is very popular in Japan, i dun think this can properly be called a Jap MA. Its mostly Western Wrestling (no gi) and kick boxing.

  I think I heard from somewhere,Muay Thai uses all parts of your body [I dont mean d1ck or something,but joints]
  Depending on what part of body u use and hitting point la.

  The type of wushu that wear that is contemporary competitive sport wushu...not martial arts...but then again it can be considered a "type" of gi (uniform)

  Got...I think there is some estate where they practice on top of a hill in a park, and they call it, surprisingly, hilltop muay thai. I am not sure of the details. You may want to go into http://www.sgwutan.com and find out.

  That is not Muay Thai .. should be Elephant Boxing practised by the 4 royal elephant guardians.
  
  I think Muay Thai should be the skill practised by Sagat?
