I haven't seen the comments in question, not that I am saying I don't believe you, simply I have not seen them. I suppose the answer is that there are annoying yahoos in every tradition. My only reaction after the two wins in China was to be happy that San Shou made a good showing. To me, it didn't mean Muay Thai was no good, it is obviously good and strong. But I was happy that San Shou made a good stand. That San Shou lost matches in Thailand, that there were 5 KO's in that second event Alan Wong talked about, maybe I am disappointed but I am not "angry". Muay Thai is very strong and certainly you should never take them lightly. I am only angry that it was turned into some sort of propoganda and that people who are not world champions are called that title. Being a world champion is hard and deserves respect, those who have not earned it should not steal the title, even if they are Chinese :)

China has quite a sex industry, so if someone wants to argue like that, you have ammunition plenty LOL!

Not to start a new argument, but Bruce Lee knew very little about the variety of Chinese martial art. His training was limited to a very limited amount of Wing Chun and even his exposure to what limited amount of style were being openly taught in Hong Kong at his time. There is no question he studied Muay Thai, boxing and wrestling, etc... but that doesn't mean that all Chinese who can kick and punch are like Bruce Lee, taking from non Chinese arts. There are plenty of kicks, punches, knee, etc in Chinese martial art. I already said neither side stole anything, after all every human being has the same limbs and joints and can only move so many ways!

Sadly, or maybe good news to you all, I am not going to be able to post more in the near future, I am off to China... no internet access
