Kaad Chiek

We pass beneath the blank darkness of storm clouds as Jawee’s pickup truck slices through the chilling winter night of the northern Thai hill country. I’m slumped against the back window, tired, shivering and miserable. Beaten up, bruised, stitched, and exhausted Thai men and boys are passed out all over the pickup bed and on my legs, which are numb and painful. We are on our way home, traversing the brooding green hills and valleys which ripple away from the Mekong river and the shores of Laos, where these same men have just fought their age old enemy; the Burmese.

"The Only Limits You Have Are The Ones You Put On Yourself."

It's an amazing sport and great for practical use to defend yourself. Its called the art of 8 limbs in my case 7, because you use your hands, elbows, knees and kicks. It is based deep in tradition, honor, and respect.
I am 38 years old. I have 17 title belts from both my amateur and pro career, which includes 4 world titles.

Sinlapa MuayThai vs Boxxtomoi MuayThai.

Tuesday 4th October Bangsar - I play host to my Japanese friends, Mr.Hiroshi Soda, publisher|editor of Sinlapa Muay Thai, a Japanese Muay Thai Magazine, Mr.Okuno from NHK [Nippon Hōsō Kyōkai - Japan Broadcasting Coperation] and interpreter Ms Yamamoto.

My first encounter with Soda was in June 2011, when both of us cover the Kedah Royal Cup event.

He only speaks Japanese and bit of Thai and I can't understand both!

Our interpreter than ask, how we get along all this while without understanding each other.

We don't have to speak, we understand each other because we share the same passion and we both admire each other because we still survive doing it!!

[Soda will be leaving to Bangkok today, Yamamoto to Sri Langka and Okuno to Japan end of this month.]

Malaysia's 1st MT Magazine vs Malaysia no 1 MT Fighter

Bila kami sampai tempat yang dijanji 10 minit awal, [bersama jurugambar Haziq], saya telefon Faizal.

BT : Aku dah sampai, kamu ada mana?
Faizal : Masjid . Nanti Faizal sampai.

Teringat satu artikel tentang dia "Faizal, who is from Pasir Puteh, comes from a religious family ".. betul lah apa yang ditulis tu.
9 minit kemudian Faizal sampai baju polo, kain pelikat dan naik motor.

We have teh tarik & keropok leko. Saya cakap Kedah dan dia jawab dalam bahasa Kelantan and my story will be in English. We don't talk much about the Challenger - you guys most probably read or will read it in local press, my questions are base on my curiosity, like:
BT : Golden Elbow..Siapa yang bagi gelaran tu?
Faizal : ....[jawapannya kena baca majalah bulan Nov]
BT: Kamu suka gelaran tu?
Faizal: sebenarnya Faizal [dia bahasa diri begitu] tak berapa suka.. [jawapannya kena baca majalah bulan Nov].

Get a copy of Boxxtomoi Muay Thai Magazine November issue to get real close and personal with Malaysian no:1 Muay Thai fighter. Also comments from other fighters about him.

MUAY THAI DILEMMA IN MALAYSIA

People in Malaysia think Muay Thai is violent and create violent society. People in Malaysia think Muay Thai should not be practiced in Malaysia because they come from Thailand (I wonder where does golf come from but it is played here). Sponsors think Muay Thai fans have no buying power because this sport is only watched by the villagers. Sponsors think Muay Thai fans only available in Thailand. Sponsors think Muay Thai only attract “low class” people … but one thing for sure, whoever thinks that way, obviously they have never been to a Muay Thai tournament, they judge Muay Thai only from one angle and that is from NEGATIVE angle point of view.This year, I had the opportunity to go to three events. The first one was a national level martial art competition held in Kulim. They rented a BIG hall as the venue. And guess what, the number of spectators were around 200 people….and one thing I must tell you, the entrance is free (obviously because the participants are amature, so the organizer don’t have to pay any cash prize money and also…THEY HAVE BIG SPONSORSHIP).The second one was another finale of another martial competition, despite big budget allocated and presence of the minister … the number of contestant outnumbered the audience.The third one was only last weekend. It was a promotion held in Kulim by a GIANT telco company. When I arrived at the venue, they had about 5 small canopies and 1 BIG canopy with a estimated number of 50 staffs. The best thing was, only four people or I would rather say four potential customers at the venue and one of them was me.I asked one of the staffs, “How much do u spend for this promotion event?” and he replied around 5 – 6 thousand Malaysia Ringgit. And I said to him that I can guarantee a minimum number of 1,000 people will come and visit their promotion with that amount of budget. He smiled and asked me how am I going to do that. Well, I said to him its simple….”I just bring in my boxing ring and provide local pro Muay Thai fighters to fight at your promotion venue and its free for public to watch, I can guarantee you, you will need the traffic police to control the traffic flows”. To my surprised, he commented that they might not get the right crowd for their products and services. I asked him again, have u ever watched a Muay Thai fight in Malaysia? He just kept quiet….and again I felt a bit disappointed with the way people judge Muay Thai in Malaysia. Majority don’t realize that Muay Thai fights in Malaysia attract all level of people…just name the kind of people and they are there. School childrens, university students, teachers, engineers, doctors, lawyers, engineers, expatriates, c.e.o.s….just name it. But of course, in order for you to have this large number of crowd, proper marketing and promoting plan must be implemented. And why do Muay Thai fights attract people? Simple because they are real and the fight is full of spectacular action.Daniel Mashamaite, a boxer from South Africa fought four times in Malaysia. During his last fight in Malaysia he said I surely have big sponsorship in my pocket because I organize a lot of tournaments in a year and there are always big crowd watching. He was surprised when I said that for Kedah International Muay Thai Championship the sponsorship amount that I managed to get after begging was not more than 30,000 Malaysia Ringgit when I have more than 4,000 paid crowd and 1,000 free passes (the audience paid 13 ringgit ticket…you don’t have to calculate how much we made, because how much do u think is the cost to organize an international event? ). Just imagine how many people can I attract if the entrance is FREE…but if I were to do that, who is going to pay for the cost of organizing?Sponsors will surely get maximum mileage if they sponsor Muay Thai event, that I can guarantee. Sponsor will not only get return in terms of branding mileage, they can even generate cash sales in return by sponsoring Muay Thai event, that I can also guarantee 100 % (but sorry guys, cant tell you the method…well, I can tell you how but I am afraid I have to kill you after that ) . The problem is, most of the decision maker, turn down our proposal just because he or she doesn’t like Muay Thai (or maybe our proposal is not convincing….hmmm…I will improve on that).A conversation I had with an officer of a State Government owned company….she said they are unable to sponsor Muay Thai event because Muay Thai is not related to their company but she also said “but we can sponsor GOLF” … huh ??? is golf related to a state government company when the company’s activity circling around the development of the state? Well, I guess they sponsor golf because their bosses play golf .. poor you Muay Thai.BOXX is going to operate a Muay Thai centre soon. We are targeting school children to participate and we plan to charge them between 2 – 5 malaysia ringgit a month (in order to cover the operational cost … don’t laugh, ok). I am expecting the majority of the school children who turn up will be the kind of “aggressive children”. The non aggressive might choose piano class instead (maybe these aggressive boys” will go to piano class too…will they?). When these aggressive children turn up for training at .. let say 5 pm .. they will not straight away start punching and kicking. We are gong to organize a 15 minutes informal classes on anti smoking, anti drug, anti crime and all those positive classes. The speakers will come from various related government agencies ( I hope they support this effort). The speakers will sit among these boys and tell them stories about the bad thing about smoking, drug etc… (they will run away if we conduct the class in a formal way, that’s for sure because I would run away too). We might even get an ex drug addict to relate his experience to there boys. These classes will be conducted from time to time. My prediction is, after few years, these boys will still be “aggressive boys” because the aggressiveness is already in them but they will be equipped with knowledge. We hope to instill positive values in these boys through Muay Thai training and all those classes.What I am trying to say is…. YOU CAN USE MUAY THAI AS A TOOL TO CREATE A GOOD CITIZEN…GOOD PEOPLE. Only if you are not negative towards it (because I don’t think the boys will attend just an anti smoking or anti drug classes).No matter what, no matter how big the obstacle is, we … at BOXX EVENT will never surrender. We, with the support from all of you with continue with our struggle to position Muay Thai to where it should be …Last but not least, I would like to thank everybody who has been supporting Muay Thai activities in Malaysia and please continue visiting this blog because it is also a prove that Muay Thai has big fans all around the world.

ZAHARI AHMAD RAZALI

MUAY THAI 101

Muay Thai optimizes the use of the eight limbs and is often referred to as the "Science of 8 Limbs". These eight limbs are the two Fists, two Elbows, two Knees and the two Feet(Shins), which are all used to devastating effect in battle.
Muay Thai also incorporates the use of the Clinch, which is stand up grappling. From this position Knees, Elbows and Throws are often executed to disable the opponent.
Muay Thai is fought in a square ring using the rounds system, which separates the bout. These rounds are usually 5 rounds at 3 minutes each, with a 2 minute break in-between.
