Muay Thai Training DVD 3

Friday, March 31, 2006

You just won t believe all the creative and cool techniques for training for all martial arts on this one tape he is a magician. This tape has more on blocking plus tons of drills that can be used in any martial art.

You will learn the right way to use traditional pads as well as innovative and new pad drills that he has created himself. He also shows how and why to use paper for kicking and punching. This tape is an absolute must for trainers and fighters as well as those who want to learn how they really train in Bangkok in those Muay Thai camps we have all heard about.

Saekson Janijira is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet outside of the ring but inside the ring its a totally different story. Over 200 fights and he lost only 4 this tape shows you why he has become a legend in Bangkok and in America. He is quite simply 100% A Master of Muay Thai.

Customer Review: Skilled Boxer and a Gifted Teacher
Please see my review of tape 1 in this series. The positive and negative comments apply to all the tapes/DVD's in this series. Only the techniques differ from tape to tape. Basically, I agree with reviewer O.S. Baluch from London. This particular lesson covers blocking against kicks and elbows and countering techniques. Using the training pads is also addressed. I can't say enough about how well thought-out these lessons are and how well presented they are, Mr. Janjira is truly a gifted person.

Customer Review: regular advice but horrible quality production
The advice in this DVD is the same advice you'd get in many DVDs on Muay Thai, however, the quality of the production is extremely low. The sound is awful. Look elsewhere unless you don't mind spending $30 for low-quality production values and generic advice. More Information

All About Muay Thai in Thailand

In order to understand the true essence of Muay Thai, this documentary takes us to its origin, destination Thailand. The movie highlights some of the incredible aspects of Thailand including a glimpse of the country s beautiful beaches, jungles, flavorful food, fascinating cultures, and deep spirituality. A correlation between the spiritual beliefs in Thailand, primarily Buddhism, and Muay Thai are presented.

The movie takes us to Chiang Mai to visit a Muay Thai training camp (Lanna s Muay Thai camp). The camp manger, Andy Thomson, is interviewed and explains how the camp is run, training schedules, and many key elements of Muay Thai. Pedro Villalobos, co-author of "The Fighting Strategies of Muay Thai: Secrets of Thailand's Boxing Camps", is also interviewed at the camp.

After the visit to Lanna s training camp, the movie takes us back to Lumpinee Stadium, in Bangkok, which is the most prestigious Muay Thai stadium in the world. The unique attributes of Muay Thai are displayed including the pre-fight dance rituals, the spiritual aspects, unique music, general competition rules, betting, judging, and techniques. Live fight footage at Lumpinee Stadium is covered, including highlights of a New Years Eve main Event.

Customer Review: True Muay Thai
This movie gives an excellent overview of all aspects of Muay Thai, right from the source - Thailand. The cultural and country coverage was fascinating. There is a good mix on the background and rules of the art, along with some awesome "live" fight footage. The training camp shown in the DVD seems like a great place to study the art. I hope to train there one day. More Information

Muay Thai, the-one-time favored military art of kings, is now, a king among martial arts. The authentic rules in Muay Thai competition, the fighters can punch, knee, kick, and elbow to most parts of the opponents body, including the legs, the head, and the face. No other hand-to-hand combat sports in most parts of the world dare to allow these rules in their competition for fear of lethal injuries.

The only true form of Muay Thai competition where all parts of the body are used as weapons can still be found only in Thailand. For those who cannot make the trip, we bring you this second volume of such fights. Fourteen legendary warriors, three vicious knockouts, seven ultimate fights. More Information

Muay Thai - The Most Distinguished Art of Fighting

A top notch book from the homeland of Muay Thai! This book is one of the best I've ever seen on the subject of Muay Thai (Thai Boxing). It is well written and illustrated throughout. This book covers not only the basic Muay Thai strategies, but also history, cultural significance, pre-fight rituals, training and the author's own personal experience in Muay Thai and in writing this book. I've seen only one Muay Thai book that rivals this one and that is "Muay Thai: A Living Legacy". Although I recommend that book very highly, I must also recommend this one equally as it is just as good. Anybody in any martial art would do themselves a favor by reading this book and for anybody who trains in Muay Thai, this book is one you cannot afford to go without. Muay Thai is becomming very popular worldwide due to its effectiveness in fighting and self defense as well as its simple techniques. It is a fighting style that anyone can learn, regardless of age, gender, physical status, etc. The Thai police and military all learn Muay Thai as part of their training and it is this art that helped Thailand resist the Burmese during many battles. Should one ever decide to take up Muay Thai, he/she will clearly see why it is often called one of the "kings of martial arts". Muay Thai is definitely one of the better fighting/self defense systems out there. This book will also benefit ANY martial arts coach/trainer with its valuable information on how to make their students' training a rewarding experience.
Customer Review: Muay thai
This is the best book I have ever seen on ANY fighting art. It is laid out in a very understandable format, and the author gets the information of the techniques across very well. More Information

Fighting Strategies and Secrets of Thailand's Boxing Camps

Tuesday, March 28, 2006

There are three elements of Muay Thai boxing: techniques, tactics and strategy. Most Muay Thai books deal only with techniques. Fighting Strategies of Muay Thai is the first book to reveal actual fighting strategies and tactics as taught in the boxing camps in Thailand. Both the author of this book, Mark Van Schuyver, and his partner in this project, Kru Pedro Villalobos, are martial artists. In fact, Villalobos is a professional Muay Thai fighter and trainer who has studied extensively in Thailand with some of the art's most well-known names. And in helping Van Schuyver with this book, Villalobos held back none of the secrets he had picked up in Thailand. Because the elements of timing and the strategies of the Muay Thai system are universal to all types of fighting, this book will be invaluable to Muay Thai fighters and trainers, professional and amateur fighters, and martial artists of all styles, including taekwon do, karate, jujitsu, judo, and no-holds-barred fighting and wrestling. The definitive work on Muay Thai strategies and tactics, Fighting Strategies of Muay Thai is a guide to total fight preparation.
Customer Review: This is where you should start
This is a great book. I bought 3 Muay Thai Books and I stopped buying it after I purchased this one. This book is compilation of author's training experience at Thailand and at his gym(Dojo) with his students. If you are a beginner, it gives clear conditioning plan with things to consider and also it gives tips on fighting strategies. However, this book is little light on technical side. All in all, this is a good book and if you are serious about training and want a book to supplement your training, this is where you should start.
Customer Review: The next best thing to learning it in a Thailand camp
Villalobos (The true contributor of this book) is the REAl DEAL, who show us the true picture of what are being taught in Thailand's camps. Not a step-by-step guide for beginners, but any intermediate to advanced martial artists would surly benefit from this book. More Information

Customer Review: Special Training Drill Muay - Thai
This DVD shows special training drills that helped my balance,and endurance your kicking will improve and so will your speed Saekson Janjira maeks muay Thai very easy to learn and the details help out alot.
Customer Review: Unless you're a fledgeling stand-up fighter...
you'll likely not be THAT happy with this DVD. Seeing Master Janjira perform his his kicks on the bag IS pleasing, I grant you (his punches are ok); but the "Special Drills" are naught but: Working your abs while your training partner drops a double-end bag toward your face [to teach you lateral head movement against incoming punches], performing your kicks onto a bag while standing on a (weight)bench to improve your balance, using a heavy jumprope vs a standard jumprope to strengthen your arms, and "3 on 1 sparring" (which is not even 3 vs 1 [a drill I strongly recommend, albeit I suggest you start with 2 vs 1]- it is simply sparring 1 opponent for a set time and then having opponent #2 relieve opponent #1, and then be relieved by opponent #3. That is, you spar 3 guys one after another with no break. What an amazing drill! (I'm being sarcastic.) There may have been other "drills" on the DVD - equally as memorable. (I don't remember them. No, wait, there was also a "plom" [neck clinching] "drill" - practice neck clinching against your 3 opponents, one after another, until you are fatigued.)It was nice to see an "old school" gym in the DVD (made me feel like I was in my yesteryears) and his pointers and performance are sound, but if you are intermediate and above, you'd probably do well to save your money for another purchase, or at least not pay full price for this DVD.

Customer Review: Not Bad but Not Great
Unfortunately for this DVD, I viewed the four-set DVD's by Saekson Janjira first. That was a magnificent example of well thought out presentation and teaching ability. Compared to the Janjira series, this single DVD seemed disjointed and not thorough in explaining and showing the various techniques. That is understandable - you can't cover in one DVD what another covers in four DVD's. Overall, this is a good DVD that covers a lot of territory including various techniques, combinations, history and ritual.
Customer Review: for intermediate and above
The only reason I hgave this a four star rating is that it is not catered to beginners and not exactly an instructional tape. It is filled with pearls and gold nuggets though. If you are a beginner you may want to try duke roufus's set. By far, the best technically beginners set is muay thai beginning and advanced sets by Surachai Sirisute, founder of thai boxing in this country. Getting back to Master K's videos- these are videos of Master K working with his students using the thai pads and heavy bag. After getting a basic knowledge of the basic muay thai techniques these tapes can be referred to for a treasure chest of pearls and gold nuggets. They are an excellent resource to any martial arts library and gave me a great deal more of the finer nuances of techniques and when/how ot throw them. This video would have gotten a five star rating but they did not because they dont express they are more for intermediates than beginnners. Besides that I dont believe you can go wrong by purchasing anything fom Master K. More Information

Muay Thai Kickboxing Training Videos

Thursday, March 23, 2006

This video will teach you all the basic and advanced techniques of Muay Thai Kick boxing. You will see three wild and exciting matches that demonstrate the brutality of Muay Thai in its most savage and violent way but with all the decorum and spirit that Muay Thai has become famous for. You will also see and exciting demonstration of Muay Thai for the public and finally you will be taken behind the scenes to a real Muay Thai Kick boxing camp on a military base in Bang Kok to see how these Martial Artists tone their bodies through different exercises and training drills for the day they step into the ring in seek of fame and fortune.
Customer Review: Possibly a pirate videos, but cool stuff anyway
This is one great video. Real bad quality taping. Looks like someone was sitting in the background taping with a video camera when they weren't supposed too. But, you know what, the footage is REAL, no fake dog-and-pony show. The fights are brutal. You see elbows to the head and blood, even a guy missing a kick and flying over the ropes. Had he connected the other guy would be dead. Real fighting as it is done in Thailand. Raw, unedited, no nonsense training in a 3rd world country at its best and worst at the same time. A must for your collection, or have a few buddies over to watch, yell and laugh.
Customer Review: this video was a bad mistake :-(
1) the sound is cut almost once every minute for the first half of the video!!!
2) the video is not complete: it show less WAY LESS video than is adverstised. It says its 75 minutes. it's more like 50.
3) the las fight is cut, not complete. the video just ends in the middle of the best part. truncated...one moment you watch the fight...the next moment, a black screen. and an apology for the poor quality of the video...it will make you dizzy. i am so sorry i got this. i'll never buy videos here again.

Muay Thai - Advanced Thai Kickboxing Techniques

Thai boxing - muay thai - has escalated in popularity in the Western world and is appreciated by its fans as a means of fitness training, competitive sport, and self-defense. Advanced students greatly benefit from internationally known muay thai boxing competitor Christoph Delph's focus on what they must know to win a match. He describes tried and tested fighting strategies and traditional muay thai techniques, and shows how to best counter the opponent's attacks, use the element of surprise, and even bring the match to an early close.
Customer Review: Finaly a real book
The book "Muay Thai: Advanced Thai Kickboxing Techniques" by Christoph Delp shows that the author has gained experience in fighting and training in Thailand. The techniques range from basic up to some I haven't even heard of, despite the years I have worked out in Thailand. This book is very good to use additional to the daily work out in the gym. Of course a book can't teach you how to become a good fighter, but even some "professionals" should take the chance to re-read some of the excellent descriptions regarding the shown techniques! Additional to the good text work, the photos are making it easy to follow the different movements. Reading the book and the included interviews plus viewing the photos of the thai-stars and high officials, gives you an impression on how the special atmosphere in Thailand is like. All in all for me this is the only book that was written out of the view and the experiences of someone (a farang) who lived and practiced in Thailand not somewhere else! Excellent work.
Customer Review: Real Muay Thai

Muay Thai 2nd Edition - A Living Legacy Volume 1

Tuesday, March 21, 2006

By popular demand, a brand new edition of Muay Thai: A Living Legacy (Volume 1), complete with contemporary-look cover design and 8 new dynamic action photos for framing, along with the much-praised Wai Khru Ram Muay poster. Meticulously researched and lavishly illustrated, this is the most comprehensive, user-friendly book on Muay Thai ever written. Watch out for Volume 2 of the projected 3-volume series, to be published soon.
Customer Review: Excellent reference for Muay Thai
This book is totally awesome! Extensively-researched and well put togeather, "Living Legacy" is a must for every Muay Thai enthusiast. It includes sections on the history of the art (as well as a bit of Thailand history and their relation), the ancient training methods and schools of Muay Thai (Muay Boran & Muay Kaad Chuek), and the progression of Muay Thai into the modern sport we know today. Also included are a map of Bankok's historic and modern arenas, including times that they're open, and a list of historic heros, and all of that is in Chapter One.

Chapter Two covers traditional, modern, and amature attire, as well as examples and purposes of amulets and traditional incantations. This is followed by a chapter describing the Wai Khru and it's reason, as well as related rituals (initiations and such), and by another chapter on pre-contest rituals which include superstitions about the ring and the various instruments used in a Muay Thai match.

Chapter Five is where things start getting interesting for the athelete. Warm-ups, stretching, wrapping the hand, stance, targets, and basic first aid are covered. Chapter Six is on footwork and includes pivoting, leaping, and blocking footwork.

Chapter Seven introduces us to the weapons of Muay Thai, and progresses from hands to elbows to knees to kicks and foot-thrusts. Everything from a basic jab to advanced techniques like jumping foot-thrusts and step-up knees are demonstrated, usually from both sides. Chapter Eight shows some defensive movements and combinations. The book ends with a map showing places that were refered to in the book, two charts showing the angles of the weapons & the finer points on the possition of the body when conducting various attacks, and a Thai-English glossary, including spellings.

Overall, I am very impressed with the quallity of this book, both in it's construction and content. Though I'm mostly interested in the technical aspects of Muay Thai (which were given plenty of attention), I found the sections on history and culture to be fascenating. Full of color photos and step-by-step sequences, this book is a pleasure to read and easy to understand. I'd recomend it for anyone with an interest in Muay Thai, be it technique, history, or culture.
Customer Review: Excellent quality with great information.
This book is beautiful, the quality is superb, all of the pages are 'color-glossy.' It reminds me of a coffee table book. Where this book is most valuable is in giving a good overview of Muay Thai. For example some reviewers wrote that this book provides NO reference to defense. I will agree that it is indeed a shortcoming. However, there are plenty of good things to say.

'Living Legacy' provides a brief history of "Muay," it also provides information on the rites and rituals involved in Muay Thai --which is great for the Western enthusiast. A great example is that "wai" or the Thai bow is thoroughly explained: when to use it, to whom, etc. Things like the ritual dance "Wai Khru" is also explained in detail, along with instructions for performing the 'dance.'

As far as the criticism mentioned above, I think it is important to realize that this books covers in great detail the "basics." For example it describes exactly how high to hold your hands in the "fighting position." It does not cover everything (like defense, and clinch work). It is not a "fight strategy" guide by any means.

What it DOES do is explain in great detail all of the offenses (7-10 of each: punches, elbows, knees, kicks). It gives great examples of the Thai language (including glossary) and gives the Thai words/phrases for all moves.

This book is beautiful, with great pictures, and is an excellent resource for anyone wanting to know more about Muay Thai. For practictioners of Muay Thai, it does a great job of explaining basic technique-- important because everything is built from these. More Information

Muay Thai Basics - Introductory Thai Boxing Techniques

Monday, March 20, 2006

Muay Thai, also referred to as Thai boxing, combines fitness training, self-defense, and competitive sport. In this hands-on guide, renowned trainer Christoph Delp presents the sport s history, development, rules, and equipment. In the techniques section, he first details basic skills such as the correct starting position and footwork. Next he offers a complete list of all the attacking techniques and a selection of effective defensive and counterattacking strategies. All techniques are presented step-by-step by Thai champions from the famous Sor Vorapin gym in Bangkok, showing readers the fine details of each technique. The training section provides detailed information about the structure, content, and planning of training regimens and this includes historical training methods, a stretching program, and training schedules. Suitable as both a self-training guide and a supplement to club training, Muay Thai Basics offers authoritative instruction for Thai boxers and other martial arts enthusiasts.
Customer Review: Good book for beginers
This is good book for MT starters, also the price is very reasonable. In there are color pictures which is not very often. Very good topics on Thai culture and MT rituals. Techniques in there are basic: jab, cross, hooks, uppercuts, Thai round kick, front Teep, also very rare seen in MT bouts spining kick.

The reason why I give 4 not all 5 stars is clinch work which is very basic thing in MT from Thailand and here needs to be covered more. Too little is written on it. I hope that in other book which I will order from same author it will be more clinch work. All in all from all MT books that I own, this is second in my ratings. Hope Cristop Delp will write more good books on the national Thai sport.
Customer Review: Perfect Muay Thai Book!
The book first describes the development, the history and the rules of Muay Thai and presents the necessary equipment. In the second section, the fighting position, the steps and the fighting distance are explained. In the third section, the attack techniques are described in detail: fist techniques, elbow techniques, kick techniques, knee techniques and clinch techniques. Muay Thai champions demonstrate the techniques in numerous pictures. As a result, the techniques can easily be copied.

In the fourth section, combinations for training at the sandbag and pads are demonstrated. The fifth section demonstrates a number of important defense and counter techniques. Additional techniques are demonstrated in the other book on Muay Thai written by the same author. The sixth section presents the content of a Muay Thai training section.

The book is excellently structured, the Muay Thai skills are passed on step by step. I also find the book design excellent. The large book is in color throughout and the pictures are superb. This is the optimum book for beginners and as an accompaniment to training! More Information

Muay Thai Master Saekson - 4 DVD Training Set

Sunday, March 19, 2006

These are the best tapes ever done on Muay Thai instruction, Saekson Janjira is one of the Kings of the ring in Bangkok and his skills are second to none and we mean none. This 4 DVD set is one of our best selling series and once you watch it you will know why. He shows everything from hands to footwork to kicks to blocks to ring training and so much more you will not believe how much information has been jammed in to these 4 DVD's.

The series is shot professionally with good sound. The director is a famous Hollywood director who shot these as a favour to Saekson so you will be elated with your purchase we assure you...
Customer Review: Master Saekson 4 DVD Set - Bargain!!!!!
If you want to learn Muay Thai I highly recommend you to buy at least DVD 1 & 2 from this collection. Excellent sound & picture quality, very easy to understand Master Saekson and also good side angle shots to clarify points. DVD 1 & 2 are excellent for the beginner and you could easily "work in" with them to get you started and get your routine up and running.

DVD 3 & 4 give general training/conditioning tips and would probably suit someone who is going to put alot of time in and become a serious fighter or once you have been training for sometime and want to explore the system and conditioning aspects further (However, very useful if you have not trained before and have no idea how to work bag/pads or put combinations together or just have a lack of imagination).

However, still a bargain for all 4 and the delivery was about 2 weeks before target. I have been training in martial arts for 15 years (Karate, Dim-Mak and boxing) and recently became interested in Muay Thai (this is down to the fact that it is a proven fighting system, see NHB and UFC for good examples of real world aplication and you can now get good instruction/information). I have a couple of the 4 and 5 star rated books from Amazon and various other sites on the subject and as I have a good understanding of various MMA's train at home - whilst the books are very good, being able to see the full range of movements in the DVD's goes way beyond what the books can do. DVD's 1 & 2 are excellent for this - all the basic's are made very clear along with the slightly different techniques used in Muay Thai - explaining how the skinny guys get so much power into their punches and kicks!!!(lol).

I highly recommend these DVD's and The Underground Guide to Warrior Fitness by Ross Enamait (for Strength and Conditioning tutorial) and a good back up wrestling or Brazilian Jiu-JitSu DVD i.e Gracie Brothers release. You would then have a "real world " fighting system and full knowledge on how to train/strengthen your body without buying expensive gadgets/weights or cardio equipment etc. More Information

Muay Thai Training DVD Volume 1

Saturday, March 18, 2006

Learn all the mechanics for the basic including,punches, shifting and elbows plus lots more... This tape is where it all starts. After watching this tape you will totally understand why these are the absolute best tapes ever produced on Muay Thai Kickboxing.

Saekson Janijira is a man of respect and yet one of the arts most unprecendented fighters. He is a legend in Bangkok and now you can have him as your own personal trainer. He speaks in clear english so that all can understand and discover the secrets of Muay Thai Kickboxing that have never been released to the rest of the world. Fighting Spirit Magazine says these tapes will be classics for all who want to thoroughly understand the ins and outs of Thailands native fighting system.

Customer Review: Skilled Boxer and Gifted Instructor... I have never seen a tape so well presented. Each of the basic techniques were shown going forward and backwards to and from the camera and from left to right and back again. Thus, you can see each technique from the front and from the side.

Mr. Janjira put a lot of effort into these lessons so even an old "tard" like me can learn and absorb the techniques. He shows the basic stance and hand/arm positions and shows how to maintain them as you move around the ring. He then demonstrates the jab, cross, uppercut and elbow techniques thrown in three variations (angles)- uppercut, horizontal and diagonally downwards. He continually adds valuable tips during each presentation which greatly adds to understanding the movement.

There is only one negative factor - loud sounds caused interference in the video. They must have used a cheap microphone or had the gain too high and drove their amp into saturation, the rest of the tape was so good that I soon learned to ignore the interference. A word to younger readers, fights are won with basics - not with flashy techniques. Showboating only works in the movies. In the streets "flash" will get you beaten.

Muhammed Ali only had four techniques: a left jab, a left hook, a right cross and an uppercut... What made him better than the rest is that he did them to perfection with proper timing. Another fighter, Bill "Superfoot" Wallace mentions on his tape series that he only used four techniques in winning all his fights. He had two hand and two leg techniques: a left jab, a left hook, a left side kick and a left roundhouse kick. But, he performed them to perfection.

So, young readers, what is it going to be? Master a few techniques and win fights or learn dozens of flashy or "secret" techniques and get your a** handed to you in a "real" fight.

Customer Review: This dvd is the first in a series of 4 and contains all the basics of muay thai, from footwork to punching and elbow techniques. It is well presented and demonstrates the techniques clearly. This dvd acts well as a starting point and is excellent for beginners. More advanced students of muay thai will know most of these techniques, however it is still worth buying for the excellent presentation of techniques with the focus on correct footwork.
