I think far enough back much goes to the Chinese but was Kung Fu even around? If so its not what it is today and MuayThai certailny isn't what it was when the seperation began.
I see nothing wrong with believing in ones style. That doesn't mean more than one can't be good but if its just another style why take it? Again that doesn't mean more than one isn't good.
We get carried away in insults and confuse facts and manipulate them but is it so bad to believe in what you do? I don't think so. I think we should just think about our wording and watch what we say.
People say its not the martial art its the artist. That one really makes me laugh.
There is truth in there but come on...would I be just as good a fighter if I took TKD?
Not the car its the driver...
OK similar cars yes...but what if ones a top car and ones a piece of junk. The car is just a factor and the driver can make a huge difference. But get the same type of driver in a junker and one of equal skill in a top car and what will happen?
Style is a factor and we may disagree on what styles better...thats fine we just need to think how we word things and yes we can just get over it and be confident in our style.
That doesn't mean we can't learn from other styles or that we may change our opinion. Believing in something does not automatically mean that we can not be open to imput and change.
I have nothing against SS. I haven't seen alot but I have seen some and it seems ok. I think they have lots to learn but I think that is mostly because it is very new.
Sunriser talked about some of the mistakes in training. That is part of the game. Knowing how to train is very important. SS is relatively new to this. This doesn't mean that they aren't good but it indicates that they are quite young in the game.
For how young they are they seem to be doing well. Yo9u have to remember that experiance is a factor. The Thais have lots in all aspects including the individual fighters.
MuayThai, in my opinion, is on top but there are many reasons for that and some go beyond moves. As much as I love MuayThai and do believe in its moves and know there is more to it.
Hopefully as other countries get stronger(many learning and some trying not to learn from MuayThais vast experiance) the Thais will be more challanged and so will MuayThai its self. I think this is good. It will bring everything up including MuayThai.
I hope this offends no one. Peace
