Oldest Muay Boran Documentary 1963 (Muay Korat)

The oldest Muay Boran documentary ever found from 1963 featuring the Muay Korat Gran Master Bua Wat Im. The documentary shows the basic techniques, training methods, and dresses of old times. I've written the Thai names and translations of the techniques and of the other things shown.

Modern Muay Boran, or Muay Nam, is the style I'm currently developing. It was born by applying the principles of Jeet Kune Do to a mix of many Muay Boran styles, which have been reformed and refined in a modern and practical way, with the influence of many combat sports and martial arts from all around the world (Old British Bare Knuckle Boxing, Lethwei, Taekwondo, Boxing, Sanda, MMA, various ancient and contemporary Wrestling styles).

Fun fact about Muay Thai 1963, Kenji Kurosaki was defeated by fighters in Thailand in a Lumpinee stadium and his home country in Tokyo

[@BradYaeger]

Been fascinated with martial arts my whole life (I'm 57). First thing I read was an FBI hand to hand combat manual at age 7 to stop my brother from picking on me. Since then I consumed every book and magazine I could get my hands on. It's SO great that now theres the internet and I can see actual footage of the arts that back then could only read about and look at pictures . 2 of those arts were Muay Boran and Krabi Krabong .

[@GaawutProductions]

Yeah internet is amazing in that regard. I offer a free ebook on Elbow Strikes and 2 books on Amazon if you are interested 🙏

Its sick how today Muay thai still 90% looks like Muay thai from 1963. Literally has been the king of striking. Meanwhile other arts now all look more like Muay thai than their traditional forms in old footage 🤣

[@rafaelcarrera9436]

Sanda, modern kyokushin and knockdown karate, and just about all kickboxing styles, aside from Savate, have copied the Muay Thai/Lethwei/Muay Lao/Pradal Serey system - with Muay Thai being the most developed of those listed.

[@hypnoticskull6342]

It didn't complicate anything like most traditional martial arts

[@vincentlee7359]

That's because Muay Boran was already a practical martial art to begin with. Muay Thai is similar, as they just adapted Muay Boran techniques to sport and changed a few things to make it safer. Muay Thai is one of the most practical striking martial arts out there today.

[@vincentlee7359]

@@rafaelcarrera9436 Muay Boran, Muay Lao, Lethwei, Pradal Serey aren't real separated martial arts...since that entire region was originally one empire a long time ago...like they're all the same techniques just one country prefers XYZ over others and emphasizes certain things

Amazing thankyou for everything you've shared history, culture, and literature. I just ordered your book. I'm trying to schedule a Fight Mma against untrained fighters in the US right now, and there are rules obviously that limit a portion of the amazing techniques shown on this channel. If the footage is worth seeing, I'll send it to you. If anyone asks me anything, I send them your way. You've helped me tremendously with your references and consice deconstruction. Thank you so much. Never stop this channel I believe it will grow I was so happy to hear Chadi bring you up

[@sasorikenpo5287]

Very good 👍 Io l'ho Studiata in Thailandia...

[@nicholascotardo3795]

I study and read about martial arts and fencing in the world since all my life, this documentary its precious. Btw, its very hard to find fluid patterns and finishing techniques as in Silat and Kali, especially using weapons. I always ask myself why :/ maybe its just the characteristic of the style

[@GaawutProductions]

This happened because Muay Boran shifted towards prizefighting, and the old knowledge got misused, used differently, or lost. From a cross-study of HEMA manuscripts and Muay Boran, I can say that Muay Korat has many techniques for warfare, but mainly in the 21 Mae Mai Boran (Ancient Fundamental Techniques) which are not featured in this documentary.

[@nicholascotardo3795]

@@GaawutProductions totally agree with my research 🙏🏼

[@FullMeTalAofVII]

I heard that he practices like that. So as not to blink when your opponent throws a punch. It is a practice so that boxers are not afraid of the opponent's punches and turn away or close their eyes. That is why some boxers can easily dodge punches.

[@GaawutProductions]

Yes, but in reality it has little effect, because the reflex of closing the eyes is a response to a stimulus (the strike), so it has to be trained precisely with that stimulus.

[@Kid-A2]

After all of this, I just gotta ask. How did you acquire all this knowledge on Muay boran? Do you practice Muay Boran? Do you practice Muay Thai also? You thai? You spar?

[@GaawutProductions]

I've been practicing and researching Muay Boran for seven years. I've also practiced Muay Thai but I don't like the limitations on throws, the big gloves, and the overall scoring system, so now I'm totally focused on fighting in a Muay Boran ruleset. I'm not Thai and I spar frequently 🙏

I will do a video called "Muay Lopburi Explained in Under 2 minutes" but I'll do Muay Korat first. Yes, it is not shown much, this is a documentary on it, enjoy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpDaiWyqjNdjjbs

05:54 Look ThoLe 🤣🤣 THat translates more like Bullshit Luk Mai LOL. very funny. I would translate the Yang Saam Khum more like 3 treasure steps, but it is just a suggestion. Thanks for sharing this amazing documentary, it was awesome.

[@GaawutProductions]

Yeah, that's was quite hard to translate and funny 😂 My masters translated it as "Three Point Steps"so I'll keep using that, but others translate it in that way. Thank you for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙏

[@lececamara]

@@GaawutProductions Yeah, maybe 3 treasure step is more from a Muay Chaiya point of view, it is how my school translates it and also has it´s meaning for each treasure etc. I am not Thai and can only speak and read some and even Thai people will not understand many of the Traditional names due to the poetry used so it is always hard to do this translations. I have an old Korat Text and so far 2 Thai persons deemed impossible to translate as it is written in a very old and poetic way. Yin Dee Ru jak kap khun ( ยินดีที่ได้รู้จัก)

Hi can i ask you if muay boran has dragon tail sweep?

[@GaawutProductions]

Yes it has it

[@pheirphon4680]

Motorise-Mechanical-Ballancecess😊😂

[@24kRa3d_-]

What happened to muay boran clinch work and sweeps and takedowns, it's like the proper teachings and dangerous teachings disappeared because muay thai moderned it so it can be less more dangerous.

[@GaawutProductions]

What happened is exactly what you said, but they forbade too many throws which could have stayed, like judo-like throws, which are not dangerous. Also, most masters train Muay Boran like it is Muay Thai, so they don't train enough the throws and sweeps which are illegal in Muay Thai.

[@utente27annifa78]

Hey does muay boran have double leg takedown?

[@GaawutProductions]

Yes, it has both single and double legs takedowns. One of the 21 Mae Mai Boran (Ancient Fundamental Techniques) of Muay Korat, the style shown in the video, is a double-leg takedown. They are rarely seen because most Muay Boran schools don't spar correctly, they spar like they are practicing Muay Thai and do not use the full wrestling repertoire of Muay Boran. I've discussed this mistake in my video "Muay Boran Mistake 4".

[@utente27annifa78]

Thx, in muay boran there are some defense against bjj and wrestler?

[@GaawutProductions]

@@utente27annifa78 There are takedown defenses and basic tactics to get up as quickly as possible if you fall to the ground, but there is no ground fighting.

[@clapdrix72]

Looks like wai kru. I guess that's by design for the wai kru.

[@24kRa3d_-]

Idk why but I have a feeling masters made none practical moves meant for entertainment and shows, then in the future when muay boran was kinda fading away it got brought back and then new muay boran masters started teaching the none practical moves thinking it was apart of muay boran combat, is my theory right?

[@GaawutProductions]

Well, Muay Korat has always been very active in fights, and wearing gloves in Korat was mandatory from 1950, and not from 1928 like in the more central regions. In the repertoire of Muay Korat there are no climbing techniques or impractical things, and neither in the most ancient Muay Boran manuscript ever found, which illustrates military techniques. As Kru Lek from Muay Chaiya said, climbing techniques most probably come from the Natasin dance and were used for exhibitions. Other techniques might have been altered over the years due to incorrect training methods (time-freeze and more). I don't know if your theory is true but definitely plausible.

[@GaawutProductions]

Although the students are probably beginners still figuring out the proper form, the art performed by the master is solid, and many drills and strategies shown are found in Muay Thai and Dutch Kickboxing. Also, the fundamental techniques of Muay Korat are not shown here.
