I am proud to be a Muay Thai fighter.
When I say "Fight",
do not expect a simple "Fists fight".
I mean elbows, knees, and kicks given with full power!

Go Hard or Go Home.

So You Wanna be a Kickboxer Do Ya?

Tae-Bo!!! Yeh Right

1) "I am a muay thai fighter:
My eight limbs are all Weapons Of Mass Destructions! (WMD) "

2) "Got any WMD?."

3) "Muay thai it does a body good!"

4) MT quote: "A true Muay Thai fighter always makes sure he washes his hands and elbows before he eats."

"Champions train when no one is watching"
"if you can't run with the big dogs then stay on the porch"

When you Lose the Fight, Don't Lose the Lesson.

Hey, I got a good one:

"you shouldn't throw stones if you in a glass house, and if you have a glass jaw, better watch your mouth!"

Hahaha. I like that one.

OMG Guys,

Train hard and you will fight easy, train easy and you will have a hard fight.

"You can only be an angel when you create your Heaven on Earth" - ie, get up off your arse and make the things you want to happen actually happen, don't sit there dreaming about it. There is a story to this quote, if you want it Image Girl I'll email it to you as it's a bit sad and I don't want to depress everyone.

"That ain't no woman! It's a man, man!"

Austin Powers

Also relevent to Raks thread!

There's a photo at our gym of a sign one of the guys saw somewhere that says

"Karate teaches respect, self-defence, and discipline... we just teach you how to beat the crap out of people"

Others I like are

"How you train is how you fight"

"Fatigue makes cowards of us all" (Vince Lombardi)

Ajarn Chai always says "They can do, you can do" (in reference to great fighters)

There's a cool slogan on one of those 'No fefe' (Samoan t-shirt label) shirts that says "If you're losing the game, fasi (beat) the ref!"

Nearly forgot my all time fave: "talk is talk, excuses are excuses, performance is reality"

The more you sweat the less you bleed

Success is a journey not a destination

No 4 letter words in this gym .... "CAN'T"

Cus D'mato's little favorite: "The coward and the hero feel the same fear, the hero just does what he has to do in spite of his fear."

And a great classic from a trainer who's fighter was getting badly beaten " Iron Bar, Iron Bar, just be the iron bar ..." he got ko'd next round

And that thai trainer guy of kickboxer "Are ready to protect" and "Kick the tree"

and on a female thai boxers tee shirt - "harder, you hit like a girl"

One of my favorite quote from the Book "Thaiboxing Dynamite" by Zoran Rebac:

"Top Muay Thai boxers are as rare as dynamite, their edges cut by years of training. Their tremendous techniques are as polished as the surface of a glittering diamond; magnificent in it's beauty and unique in it's strength"

This quote is dedicated to Ramon "Diamond" Dekkers. One of the greatest of all time.

My Fauvourate Quote

What you do today is very important,
As you are sacraficing a day of your life to do it.

that's an incredible quote you posted specialsystem - so beautiful put and sincerely appreciative of and showing absolute awareness of the sport and it's beauty and skill - wicked -

" no handouts given, no handouts taken..." myself

"you have to push yourself every day, if not, it's a wasted day.."

"people play baseball, nobody plays kickboxing (or muaythai)..." modified from undisputed with ving rhames and wesley snipes.

"afraid? sh*t no. he's a fighter, i'm a fighter. if he's better on that day, he wins. that's just the way it is. sooner or later, somebody comes along and they got your ticket. too old, just wasn't your day, whatever the reason. everybody loses. the most you can hope for is that you stay on top for a while. be the champ. but everybody loses..."

also from undisputed, but i have to find the more accurate version of the speech..

Thanks Image girl.
It sure is my fav of all time. :-)

"Let the hater be you motivator"
"you're alright, put tape on it!"

Its not the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog.

You F**k with me im gonna even the scores easily, take you on Jerry Springer and beat your ass legally"

"every bull can be rode, every cowboy can be throwed"
