The warriors of Siam, similar to those of the Phillipines, and Indonesia, held their own against all comers. It was no surprise to see Muay Thai and Lethwai attain to striking supremacy in the pressure test environment of the modern sports of Vale Tudo and MMA. I have trained these systems for going on 25 years, and I am still learning and developing in the art all the time. Muay Chaiya, in particular, I have come to focus on completely. Much love and max respect to all of my fellow nak muay out there; practitioners of The Sport of Kings. Walk in peace, my brothers and sisters.
*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.
