Muay Chaiya have set forms in their training syllabus however I can see the confusion.

Firstly let us understand that 'Muay Thai' is the sport.

'Muay' simply means to box 'Thai' means free.

Therefore;
Muay Boran is ancient style boxing
Muay Kaad cherk is bound fist style boxing
Muay Chaiya is the chaiya style of boxing

These are traditional and battlefield styles, 'Martial arts' if you like.

However Muay Thai was developed as a sport so forms do not exist within it's training.

The term 'Muay Thai Katas' therefore is a bastardisation of the Thai 'Muay Thai' and Japanese 'Kata' and looking at the photograph the lady depicted is wearing a grading belt which does not exist in the sport of Muay Thai.

It's a bit like saying 'Boxing Katas' for the sport of boxing.

It would be interesting to see if 'Master Tran' has developed his own 'Katas' or if he is using the traditional Sawk, Kaow, Teh and Shok forms of Muay Boran.

Made me chuckle though and I am looking forward to his follow up DVD 'How to perform the knee kick in K1 karate kick boxing style of Muay Thai' lol ;-)x
