Muay Chaiya Controversial Cross Guard, Hand Rotation and Round Kick explanations

In this video Kru Pedro Solana explains the importance of understanding the different biomechanic of two completely different styles of muay thai and how each style can complement each other. Very rare video that takes lots of experience and practice to explain. Enjoy!!
For over fifteen years our Muay Thai Sangha Fighting Arts Training camp has been located in Chiang Mai, in the North of Thailand and has maintained world-class standards for students who want to develop their fighting and Healing abilities. Kru Pedro Solana Head Trainer and founder of the Fighting Arts Camp has been training Muay thai and Krabi-Krabong (Thai Weapons) for over 3 decades assuring that the knowledge that he imparts comes directly from authentic ancient lineages of warriors. Ultimately his approach of training involves certain inner aspects of training long forgotten in the fast growing industry of muay thai. His everyday teachings include Shielding Meditation, Spelling Mantras, Warrior Yoga exercises, Martial Breathing and certain Energy Work to strengthen inner connections. So far this school is the only one in Thailand teaching all this inner concepts within the fighting arts.

GREAT EXPLANATIONS ! I LOVE YOUR TEACHING !

[@FIxt00l]

Very clear and deep explanation. It answers a lot of questions that are impossible to understand for beginners. I have been wondering for so long, and now a single video has answered them.

[@PedroSolana]

Thank you very much. It's great that it helps you. Kind regards

[@benjaminmartin2934]

Thank you Sir,im a great fan!

[@muaythaifightinginternalarts]

I train almost like you! You are my favorite teacher Pedro Solana

[@BreakNAllRecordsBARtv]

Pedro you are awesome.nice demo brotha

[@stevemarshallveryfunny6907]

Excellent - so clear

[@lececamara]

Buenas explicaciones. Me sorprendió mucho toda la polémica que había en Tailandia alrededor de los estilos tradicionales, los cuales es MUY dificil encontrar. La mayoría de campos que ofrecen Muay Boran, solo ofrecen un subproducto, con aplicaciones de pelicula y es dificil encontrar el auténtico arte. Hasta que encontré a Atjarn Kridakorn Sodpraset estuve a`punto muchas veces de visitarle a Ud. Ya no resido en Tailandia, pero algún día espero poder visitar su escuela. Es curioso que uno tenga que ver a un extranjero tratando de mantener las tradiciones y conocimientos auténticos, mis felicitaciones...una lástima, que la politica, el deporte y el dinero acaben de este modo con las artes marciales tradicionales. Un saludo cordial de otro amante del Chaiya

[@flaviofrancadeassisfranca]

teacher ... thank you very much ... my sincere congratulations! As I have learned from your videos .... God bless!

[@PedroSolana]

Your welcome 🙏🙏

[@flaviofrancadeassisfranca]

@@PedroSolana thank you! (Obrigado! I'm from Brazil)🙏🙏

[@tupacnuel5310]

Mi respeto gran maestro. :)

[@francescopolito6806]

bravo

[@Dolugar1]

Brillante explicación. Visto así, el asunto no tiene nada de controvertido, la guardia en Chaiya tiene un cariz ligeramente más defensivo, priorizando el no ser golpeado. A cambio sólo se sacrifica un pequeño recurso dentro de un amplísimo arsenal de movimientos. También me gustó la explicación sobre las patadas. ¡Gracias por los vídeos, Maestro Pedro!

[@PedroSolana]

Gracias Adrián. Es genial que te halla gustado el video..y que aclare un mas el estilo. Saludo cordial 😊

*Some facts about Muay Chaiya* The Muay from the city of Chaiya mainly refers to a certain Ajarn Ket Sriyapai. Ket Sriyapai was the son of a governor who was active in sports promotion and brought Muay Veti fighters (Muay Thai) from Chaiya to Bangkok to promote them there. Ajarn Khet never learned Muay Thai himself. The only reason why he is called "Ajarn" is that he has written and published some (fictional) stories about Muay Thai fighters. Ajarn Ket came from a high-ranking family and therefore never fought in a boxing ring. That would have been inappropriate for his standing. His actual profession was civil servant in the building industry. Later Muay Chaiya generations (for example Ket's school friend Tonglor Yalee) mixed normal Muay Thai techniques with Silat (Indonesia), Wushu (China) and Jiu Jitsu (Japan). For these reasons Muay Chaiya, and everything that comes from this direction, can neither be called an old nor a real Thai martial art.

[@estebanclouthier8521]

What is the difference between Muay Chaiya and Muay Boran?

[@PedroSolana]

Muay chaiya is an style of muay boran. Muay boran is a generic term to describe all the ancient styles

[@buggaboo2707]

4:49 sorry but that kick looks "sad"... I would like to see how that can have any power

[@christophersiaw1127]

Muay Chaiya is Muay Boran?

[@PedroSolana]

Yes is a style of muay boran..

[@isly1598]

I figured out what bugs me About this art ... do a video on footwork ... cause boxers are constantly moving

[@PedroSolana]

One diamond of this rare art is based on cutting the legs of the opponent by low kicks using the whole body weight. In the channel you have some footwork series. It is not easy to develop the skill but it works well when you do...

[@1mataleo1]

If you actually took the time to look through his videos you would know that he already has a footwork series

[@cwmyr]

Boxers are not supposed to be "constantly moving". The senseless bouncing around of today is one thing wrong with modern boxing. Look at Joe Louis in comparison. Or Pernell Whitaker: perfect footwork, but slow, deliberate, no nonsense. Balance, proper weight transfer and positioning are way more important then always moving and bouncing.

[@kevinsargent]

Makes so much sense. I've only seen Muay Chiaya in a small fitness gym in Chiang Mai. I instantly thought these strikes look like Kung Fu. Later on I saw a few people rolling at the same gym. Looked Like BJJ. Turned out to be more Muay Chaiya practitioners.

[@ramseymodiri2752]

Not sure why that matters, martial arts have influenced each other over time. In fact karate originally came from Kung Fu if I’m remembering correctly. Wushu Sanda, and Jiu Jitsu are extremely effective arts used even in mma along with Muay Thai. I’m not sure if this proves anything and this copy pasta I see on all these posts are clearly being spread to delegitimize. The things that this guy teaches look legitimate. I don’t see a lot of weird bullshido looking stuff. However I think not fully extending your punches(boxing or Muay Thai style) might not be a great idea
