Ajarn Chai Pre Fight Massage instruction with Boxing Liniment - Thai Oil

[@philipvjones397]

This video os very relaxing. it helps me sleep.

[@Trollioli]

BTW they won't allow you to wear liniment in a lot of places. Some athletic commissioners claim that it makes you greasy and slippery. That and some guys will rub it on the laces of the gloves to be rubbed into the other fighters eyes.

[@Crowlo17]

Because it’s true

[@kid5042]

This is very very old

[@athlonrub356]

It is true, a lot of officials are not familiar with Thai Oil but we are working to have it specified on their rules. Check out our website where we have a page listing the rules for many sanctioning bodies where they state that Thai Oil is permitted. We need to the new WBC Muay Thai rules were it is now specified as well.

[@biggieme4561]

Everybody gonna ignore the one who's doing the massage? He is freakin jacked up!!

[@doktordice9219]

I think that’s his opponent ! Lol

[@eduardoesteban9823]

Thai fighters are true athletes

[@athlonrub356]

@@doktordice9219 That's Ajarn Chai, founder for the Thai Boxing Association in many countries and recognized as the GodFather of Muay Thai in the USA.

The best massager person he need to corporate Qi Gong yapping and holding that sore area for 30 seconds

My gym sells Athlon Rub, but being 44, banged up, & dealing with Fibromyalgia I use this before & after Muay Thai & bjj training so I really just need a recipe as it can get costly. I find it odd the website lists the Arnica, Turmeric, & Ginger, but the bottle does not.

[@athlonrub356]

The first iteration of our product didn't have these ingredients, but we later enhanced the formula. You may have an old bottle. We promise you we wouldn't omit mentioning these fantastic ingredients.

[@janpavel1441]

Love the background music! Sounds a bit like Carbon Based Lifeforms

[@TheThirdKeeper]

Because it is Carbon Based Lifeforms.

[@sittingforgetting9907]

i always thought pre-fight massages were to help with weight cutting, since water is stored in the muscles. but i dont know how much weight cutting there is in thai boxing.

[@silvatown7824]

Not a whole lot of weight cutting in Thai boxing from what I know they might cut 5-10 lbs some guys go extreme but not near as much my trainer is troy ninedorf 5x nat champ trained with ajarn sit hirun and his head coach was chai

[@NicholasN94]

Great video! what does this oilment does? help the muscles relax?

[@novablessed3561]

+DarkSide it kinda does yes.

[@harvestblades]

The oil contains Arnica which is a topical pain reliever, as well as ginger & turmeric to aid in fighting inflamation. The wintergreen & menthol help warm the tissue as blood flow improves which while warming the tissue bringing in more blood & oxygen will help fuel, repair, & remove waste products from the muscles.

[@athlonrub356]

@@harvestblades - Yes, Athlon Rub is enhanced with Arnica, Thai Plai Ginger and Turmeric as well as the traditional base of ingredients. The other yellow bottle product you see does not have these ingredients.

[@EgyPalack]

Shouldn't he have said "more resistant to injury"?

[@Marquardt90]

Yeah, I noticed that too...

[@stefanopenrhyn]

Hi, I read you should not cover the area where the lotion is applied, so can you also apply it on the hands and wrists and after wear hand wraps and gloves or you should not do it? Thanks

[@athlonrub356]

The video is from several decades ago. That was mentioned to avoid the product of the time from being dried off or absorbed into a fabric. You can definitely apply on and wear gear or clothing ontop. Athlon Rub is formulated to be transdermal so it penetrates and gets to work much faster leaving your skin smooth versus greasy like older versions of Thai Oil.

[@akademikbirey6673]

So the fighter gives a massage before a fight? Because in the video the masseur is the fighter.

[@athlonrub356]

In tradtional Thai Boxing Stadiums, you can see 2-3 people massaging their fighter next to other fighters being massaged. Conversly, some of those massaging are typically team mates and coaches.

[@tulosegaslimalama3487]

Movements performed in the opposite direction

[@daso9977]

who is the skinny French guy from the other video?

[@austinphillip2164]

I think he meant "more resistant" because if it's less resistant then this is an actively harmful practice lol

[@SRC503]

Who even is Ajarn Chai? Was he even a fighter, can’t find any proof
