If you want an efficient fight system, modern sport muaythai is the only way to go. Ignore muay boran.

25 Years ago muaythai camps did not open door to non fighters. Things have changed. Fairtex was the pioneer in opening door to interested foreign muaythai students. To learn proper muaythai, it's best to come to Thailand. There are several good camps all over the country that train foreigners. My recommendation is to look for camp that are owned by a Thai, preferably an exfighter, that prepare successful professional fighters. Most of these camp owners love muaythai, and appreciate foreign students who will promote muaythai to the world. They will teach every thing they teach their fighters, Nothing is kept secret. Regretfully, most foreign owned camps charge very high fees. I would not recommend any. As for muayt boran aka ancient muaythai, if you want real efficient fighting system, shy away from these.

Ed Parker's stuff will get you killed in the real world. There are reasons Gracie Jiujitsu caught on and Ed Parker Kempo is a joke.

Is this more of a frame or a punch?

Hi Mike, at the 10 minutes Mark you're discussing the elbow and kicks. I remember when I first broke my foot in training. Doing roundhouse kicks, following knees from a neck clinch. Stepping to and turning my partner round whilst holding their neck, spinning and releasing them, quickly followed by a hard round kick onto two pads. My foot went round the pad and hit the guys elbow. My shin kick was sound but my foot was knackered. He didn't tuck his elbow in behind the pad. My foot went purple and black in the days after. for sure broken and struggling to walk. Some weeks later he kicked my elbow in the same way. He ruined his foot too. The foot is no match for the elbow. It's all fun until it's not fun! Lol!

Looks like Filipino and Chinese martial arts foundational moves.

You take angle from outside what about from.inside ? And how to anticipate his jab comin in ?

I found being a boxer the ref gave me a warning??!

can this be used in muay thai matches? I mean does it deduct any points or is it fine to use

Glue 2 frizbees together. Cool?

Professor Chow was a practitioner of Shotokan, before Mitose. He took his students, which probably included Parker, to Hotel Street, to test techniques against gi's and sailors. Who were probably drunk.

You are absolutely correct. Most Westerners don't know the history. What they taught to Westerners today is a modified version.

Awesome info man. Super underrated.

A great introductory explanation as to the differences between old and new and the focus within the various regions that make up the Muay Boran and Muay Thai art. I like your philosophy around appreciation for the two Mike Soto 👍🏾.

Excellent video 📹 I see alot of karate in that move along with palm heel strike 👍 ty

My original instructor kept telling me to stop the Judo moves for my first 4 years in Kenpo. He said there was no Judo in Kenpo. Our head instructor, and direct student of Mr. Parker, would praise my use of Judo whenever he held a seminar in our dojo. I could see it throughout the whole system, but because our head instructor hadn't taught it to Sensei yet, Sensei assumed it wasn't allowed. Doesn't make sense that Judo wouldn't be allowed in such an inclusive style. In an online video, our head instructor said he had a discussion with Mr. Parker about Judo because both of them had Black Belts in Judo. Be patient...have an open mind.

Agreed, the most important decision a person can make in Martial Arts is who they choose as an instructor, always do your research.

Man when it comes to martial arts Mike Soto knows what he is talking about and it is sad that a lot of martial arts instructors of today (McDojo instructors) don't take martial arts teaching seriously like Mr. Soto does. I have a black belt in Tang Soo Do karate and I would throw my black belt in the trash can and start over again to learn from Mr. Soto because the martial arts instructors where I live (Augusta, Georgia) they are a joke and they don't take martial arts seriously but they take getting your money for teaching martial arts seriously and it is sad and it is wrong.

Not many people have much in the way of street fight experience. Even fewer of us have trained and practiced TCMA for decades on top of street fight experience. We're in our 60s or older and our time is over. TMA is entering a new age of small clubs, few members, and pursuing excellence sans fanfare, or formal recognition. We will always exist as the Human Condition is naturally violent.

I'm a Nidan in American kenpo.

Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏 Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. God bless you. Thank you. 😊Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 😊

Got to 2nd Dan after 15 years in American Kenpo. It really works, I did a lot of full contact fighting, and used it twice in self defense.

Ed Parker moved so fast. I remember watching him on one of the tv epsidoes who's name I don't tecall at the moment, and I was so impressed that I would look forward to his appearance on the small screen again. American Kenpo is still highly impressive to this day.

What an excellent interview from Mike. as formal student of Mr Speakman (me) this was a very very beautiful well said explained interview great job and thank you

Never used gloves as a karateka. Turns out it's the best choice after all.

American kenpo is garbage against real street or jui jitsu

Legal in ufc right?

Kenpo is all 'Look what I can do' and little to do about freesparring and fighting.

Can teach how to attact groin?

Kongfu fighter

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT???? HE THINKS THAT GOING TO DO SOMETHING IN A FIGHT!!! WHAT A CLOWN. HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW STUPID HE LOOKS!!!!!

I'm assuming this doesn't pertain to someone who knows how to work a clinch

Mr. Soto, I really enjoyed your interview and your actual knowledge of Kenpo and it's history. You are very insightful regarding both Ed Parker and Jeff Speakman and I enjoyed your positive approach to describing kenpo. Many interviews on any martial art tend to tear down other systems or styles in an apparent effort to build their own personal style. I believe most martial arts have many positive aspects and truth be told, when egos and commerce get involved, sadly the worst at times comes out. Salute !!

Cool.😂

Great stuff !! If you can teach some empty hand against knife attacks Thx

Reaction to perception can save a poor fellow from consequences of doing so...third person perspective

My bb theis was incorporating principles of movement with the techniques....believe this tech can be encorperated with vr tech to teach perception of attack...apply principles and not necessarily techniques...??
