yeah fire cobra, you see i dont think anyone should be beyond questioning. and obviously myself included. Some things have their use, and as you can see at the start of the thread i have issues with this 28 count job. That doesnt mean i dont respect ajarn chai, but im not going to sit back and just approve because of his name. We have to have the balls in this game to say hang on a minute, i dont like the look of that because of xyz. Even if...

I agree with both ghost and fire cobra's statements. We all have to have a thick skin, be willing to be examined under a microscope, and accept criticism. I have trained under a number of Thai coaches, and to be honest I have noticed that the older Thai's who fought in the 50's & 60's all seem to like teaching 6, 8, 12, 16-count combinations. It's a dated teaching system. It still serves its purpose but I...

RIP Mrs Sirisute.

i'd like to at least verify that he has received my information. what is the best way to contact him? many thanks dan

One more quick point. I am surprised at you Khun Kao. You know very well that many defenses are attacks without defending first as a matter of fact these are usually the highest level of skill and timing, such as a cut kick. Did I defend first when throwing a cut kick? Slow down, don't jump on this guys band wagon. He is spreading misinformation. You are better than that. Kru Bryan

For those of you that are not on the TBA Sanctioning Email list, I received this today: It is with sadness that we report Ajarn Surachai "Chai" Sirisute's mother, Tawin Sirisute, has passed away. Ajarn Chai will be in Thailand, returning to the states in early 2009. Condolences to Ajarn Chai and the Sirisute Family may may be sent in care of The Inosanto Academy of Martial Arts. Further information on the services in Thailand...

I dont agree that all the thai coaches from the 50s and 60s teach with combination counts. I met and trained with a few who fought during those times and later taught in thailand and never learned anything close to those type of counts and/or approaches. I mean it could be something these coaches during those time periods who relocated to the west and other countries modified them that way in response to those elements around them or the way...

Khun Kao What are some of the modern training methods you refer to?

Saying "Sap Sap, Khem khem" works for me. The restaurants here in the US rarely hit the target, at least the ones close to me. Lucky for me my wife is Thai. Some of my favorites dishes are: (and I am going to use English phonetics since most people don't know the craziness that is Tinglish Ie K = G) Kha Nah muu glorp (kale with crispy pork) Pad gra prow (muu) (gai) (nuuah) Fried basil with pork, chicken, or beef Gai phed maa...

Ghost does a great deal of self training alright.....
