Muay Chaiya

CHAIYA BASICS THEORY

The Story behind the name “Yang Sam Khum”

.....Getting the Chaiya Master Stance correct is of the most importance. The Stance, from which one can defend or attack in any one of the infinite variations, derives its full name “Yang Sam Khum Klum Dan Yuk” (3 steps in 3 step paths covering the entire beast's territory) from Hindu religious references. Grandmaster Ketr Sriyapai explained it as follows:

“… the banquet of the gods was over, and all the guests parted. The king-god Pra Isuan, host of the banquet, noticed a beast with sun-red eyes still waiting by his side, waiting for Pra Isuan to leave first. Pra Isuan, impressed, by the beast's loyalty and good manners, granted the beast one wish. The beast grabbed its chance and asked for ownership of approx. 100 sq. mile of jungle area where if any form of living were to trespass, it (the beast) would have the right to eat the trespasser. Pra Isuan realized this meant trouble, but as king of the gods, he had no choice but to honor his word.

.....Time passed and the beast enjoyed its newfound passion immensely. It lure through magic spells, angels, humans, and even other demons into its territory and wasted no time in claiming its right to eating helpless victims. Pra Isuan, after having been plead for help, sent Pra Narai (another god) to set the situation right. Disguised as a young Brahm (Hindu priest), Pra Narai set foot into the beast's territory and pretended to be terrified upon seeing the beast, which, not sensing the powerful force within the young Brahm, set ready to enjoy its meal. The young Brahm said to the beast:

.....Brahm: “Please sir, I had no idea this was your territory. I only came to perform a common Hindu ceremonial practice, which consists of walking 3 steps while chanting. I realize I will die, but if so may I please perform the ceremony so that I may die a proud Hindu?

.....The Beast not aware of being set up, and very much looking forward to its meal rushed the young Brahm to get it over. The young Brahm performed his ceremony – but instead of the human-Hindu ritual he claimed, it was in fact a magic spell of the gods that blew up his size gigantically and in 3 big steps, Pra Narai walked covering over the entire 100 sq. miles frightening the beast. Though trying to runaway and hide, the beast was squashed.

.....The Yang Sam Khum, which literally translates into “3 steps in 3 step paths”, refers to the ability to increase one's awareness, strength, and courage to the level that would frighten away even beasts. It is from this legend that Muay Thai derives its name for its unique footwork system - from which one can go in all directions safely without having to fear any attacks. Whether a fighter is skilled or not, one can judge clearly from his Yang Sam Khum.

Getting into “Jod Muay” basic guard position
Jod Muay or Jod Mud have 3 step

.....Step 1: Stand straight, feet together, hands by the sides
.....Step 2: Spread feet approximately shoulder width apart, hands crossed in front of your face
.....Step 3: Take left foot 1 step forward parallel to right foot (at the back); body and feet turned 45 degrees. Raise the left fist to cover the point between your eyebrows (Unalom) and bring your fist forward (still at the same level) until it is approximately 12 inches in front of Unalom. (Keep elbows slightly tucked in). Station your right fist to cover the chin / Adam's apple and then bring it forward - your right fist should be about 3 inches from intersecting at the midpoint of your left forearm, but not touching. Right elbow comfortably held close to the body. Stay relaxed and loose.
Getting into "Tah Kru" (Master Stance) and "Yang Kao" (Moving Forward)
From the basic guard position, raise the left knee until touches left elbow. Keep calves and hamstrings tight together and flex toes pointed upward. This is the Tah Kru, or Master Stance.
To move forward, place left leg down – back into basic guard position. Now lift right knee up and simultaneously rotate fists in a circular fashion (as if right / left fist spinning a wheel and right fist ends on top) into Tah Kru on the right. Place right foot down. You have moved from left stance into right stance with one step forward.
You must completely master the 3 basics of Yang Sam Khum – Jod Muay, Tah Kru, and Yang Kao –this is the heart of Muay Chaiya. Remember, within this simple-looking footwork are infinite variations from the basics to the most advanced. Everything comes from Yang Sam Khum and everything goes back to it.
Grandmaster Ketr's individualized style of Yang Sam Khum was very fearsome as, inline with his Southern Chaiya (Thailand) upbringing, he would dance his head moving it left and right while at the same time writing magical spells with is feet. (There is a strong linkage between ancient Muay Thai and the belief of magical charms / spells).

8 Rudiments of MuayThai

Just like kickboxing, Muay Thai involves punches and kicks within the entire session. This fat-burning fitness program demands optimum discipline and regular training that’s intensive. You are to carry what your trainer has to say. Not many have yet appreciated the greatness of Muay Thai as workout program. A few men have probably have but they have to know further what this intense training has in store for them.

These 8 rudiments of Muay Thai training should explain you further why this kind of training is an effective workout program:

1.Warming up. This is one of the core elements that you have to carry on. To awaken the muscles will help you promote flexibility. As you warm up, you are actually loosening your joints so that your body is prepared for high impact training.

2.Developing Endurance. If you are starter in this boxing training, it will take about two months for you to achieve the peak of gaining adequate endurance.

3.Duration of Training. Neither is Muay Thai training too long nor too short. This means over-training or under-training won’t do any good but wear and tear of joints. If you are too tired because of long duration of this training, you muscles tend to be sore and injured when worse.

4.Limitations. Practitioners of this program have varied setbacks in terms of execution and ability to recover from being consumed from intense stances.

5.Strength. You need to have optimum strength and energy to be able to carry on the movements in Muay Thai. You need some strength training through weightlifting, bench presses and barbell lifting so that you can endurance the intensity involved in boxing. If you are not able to increase your speed and strength, you won’t effectively execute the kicks, punches, lunges and turns in the program.

6.Movement Upgrade. In the trainer’s case, he has to be modifying or integrating stances that allow the boxing practitioner to be more challenged rather than bored.

7.Intensity. The intense assertion of kicks and punches allow you to increase you balancing and enduring capabilities. If intensity of training is too high, you can shorten the program from one hour to 30 minutes. Intensity makes it more effective, not the quantity of movements executed.

8.Special Aim. This isn’t just a cardio routine but a program that promotes physical vigor, muscle flexibility and bodily relaxation. After training sessions, you can continue practicing without supervision to improve your performance in the succeeding session with your trainer.

Muay Thai is a kind of intensive workout program that advanced fitness buffs can engage into. Beginners can still give a shot at this, but with proper guidance and focused training rendered by a professional boxing mentor.
