i think your a fun guy to chill with
wow interesting
ya it extreeeeemely similar with pencak silat-elbow i learn!!??? muay boran…a bit different than muay thai hmmm interesting ill do aresearch wich one is older. i thought the oldest was filipino kali since they are all oldest /with all respect real indonesian” that migrated to the east… so kali is silat for me…
I be damned!! Didn’t expect my kru in this vid! XD
a hybrid of the two arts, i think by combining the two, muay thai and silat, you fill in the gaps that both have, not all but i think it makes for a more even more efficient art.
I love your martial arts blog. Can you recommend a good martial art supply store?
