Kru Lek

2010-02-07T04:02:00.001-08:00

Kru Lek began training at the age of 12 by learning from his older brother Witchanan Sodprasert (a student of master Kimseng Tawisid). At that time he was studying at Assumption school. At the age of 16, while he was studying in grade 7 he had the opportunity to read ‘Fah Muang Thai’ (Thai Sky) and found a column written by Grand Master Khet. He then had a great respect for Grand Master Khet and started doing a research on the Grand Master’s biography and discovered that the Grand Master was the most professional and well-versed person in Muay Chaiya.
Once Kru Lek has had the opportunity to meet Grand Master Khet he asked the Grand Master to clarify everything that he needed to know such as the techniques of the movements. From that moment on, Kru Lek became a student of the Grand Master. When Kru Lek was 18, he enrolled into an arts college. During his years in the college he became distanced from Muay Chaiya. After he graduated at the age of 21, he then learned of the death of the Grand Master.
In the year 1981, when he was drawing an erasable ceremonial tattoo on the body of one boxer from the Isan region of Northeastern Thailand, he had the chance to meet Kru Thonglor Yalae, one of the most loved students of the Grand Master. They then discussed many interesting facts about Muay Chaiya. From that day onward, Kru Lek became a student of Kru Thonglor and had always studied Muay Chaiya from him until Kru Thonglor’s death in 1996 from cancer.

Kru Thonglor Yalae

2010-02-07T03:57:00.001-08:00

Born on the 1st of August 1929 into a Muslim family, Kru Thonglor learned Muay Thai from Grand Master Khet Sriyabhai and also with master Kimseng Tawisid (the last boxing teacher of Grand Master Khet). Kru Thonglor Yalae (a.k.a Thong Cheuachaiya) had been on stage for at least 200 times and defeated a famous boxer from Chacheongsao. All of the leading boxers during that time had all been on the stage with Kru Tonglor. He was a very well experienced in boxing and also in Muay Chaiya hard to find anyone equal in talent. Kru Thonglor was one of the most important students of Grand Master Khet. Throughout his life he had dedicated it to transmit the knowledge of Muay Chaiya to his students and other people relentlessly. To those whom he deemed to be virtuous and righteous he would teach them Muay Chaiya regardless of nationality or religion. Some of his important students are Ha and Pat.

Grand Master Khet Sriyabhai

2010-02-07T03:55:00.001-08:00

Born on Sunday the 9th of November of 1905 in Chumphorn, he was the 5th and the last child of Phraya Wacheesatyarak (Kham Sriyabhai) and Kaew (Kham’s spouse). Education : He did his primary school in Sriyabhai School, which was the first school in the southern province of Chumphorn, which was built by his ancestors for the Rajgirh Dao Kanong monastery. After he was about 8 years old, he travelled to Bangkok to study Thai language at Wat Suddhivararam temple school and did a placement exam, which put him in 8th grade. Later he decided to go into the Catholic Assumption School to study in English until he finished secondary education.
Grand Master Khet had a great interest for sports because he viewed it as an activity beneficial for the heath and create sportsmanship. In the year 1922, in a high jump tournament held in honor of the Thai soldiers returning from helping in France during World War I, Grand Master Khet took the first place in the tournament. He also had a great interest in soccer and Muay Thai and he was reputed to be the soccer star of his school and continued to play for the team as the leader for the next 17 years. The team became very well known for its talent and received many cups and medals including in Saigon in 1944. In the 50th anniversary of his school he received a medal made of gold with the Latin phrase ‘SEMPER FIDELIS’ which translates to “always loyal’, which remains the only medal given by the school to any student until now (90 years). As for his boxing experience, he began training at the age of 8 with the first teacher of his life, his father (Phraya Wacheesatyarak). He then went on to train with 12 other Muay Thai masters. It is recorded in his biography that the names of the masters who taught Grand Master Khet were:
1. Phraya Wachee Sriyabhai, his father
2. Uncle Klad Sriyabhai, the commander of the Rasmi ship.
3. Plong Chamnonthong, the winner of the competition held in the palace by King Rama V.
4. Kru Klab Indraklab, the father of a famous boxer during the 1920s.
5. Kru Song, from Ta Sae, Chumphorn province
6. Kru In Sakdech, from Chumphorn city.
7. Kru Dad Kanchanakorn, from Nong Thong Kam
8. Kru Suk Netprafai, from Sang Daed
9. Kru Wan Pholpreuksa
10. Prince Vibulsawasdiwong Sawasdikul
11. Kru Kimseng Tawisid, a renowned master in Bangkok and other major cities. He was the boxing teacher for the Department of Physical Education.
12. Sir Visaldarunakorn (An Sarikbutr), the leading students of Grand Master Phra Jayachok Chokchana and Grand Master Khunyi Sarasabyakorn. He was the boxing teacher in Suan Gulab school during the 1920s and wrote a guide book for boxing for the Ministry of Education. His book was used as the standard to teach students. Though according to his biography there were 12 boxing masters, Grand Master Khet said that there were 13. Muay Thai, for Grand Master Khet, was more than just a form of physical trainings; it is a form of arts passed down by the Thais of the past for the future generations to protect themselves. Towards the end of his life, after he had retired, he dedicated most of his time teaching children to appreciate the art of Muay Thai, which is the ultimate form of martial arts. He was often invited as a guest speaker for many institutions and continued to teach until his last moments at the age of 76.

Phraya Wacheesatyarak

2010-02-07T03:42:00.000-08:00

The ruler of Chumphorn province (the father of his paternal grandmother) was the Siamese general who attacked Mergui and Teneserim in Burma back under the rule of Siam on the 2nd of May in 1824, his son in law, Phraya Sri Rajasongkram. Phraya Sri Rajasongkram became the governor of Chaiya was the grandfather of Phraya Wacheesatyarak. Sri Rajasongkram had a son named Kham who became a soldier working for King Rama IV in the court of Somdech Chao Phraya Srisuriyawong who was the minister of defense during that reign. Sri Rajasongkram received a promotion from the king to be the secretary of the governor of Chaiya when he was 25.
Kham helped to put down the Chinese rebellion in Phuket. Once the rebellion was over, the Chinese fled into the ocean and Kham was promoted from to the highest rank in the city of Chaiya. But the fight against the Chinese rebels was not over; those who had fled into the ocean began looting and attacking coastal seaports and towns from the southern most cities of Siam up north into Prachuab Khirikhan province. Two royal navy ships with 200 men were sent to aid Phuket against the raids. Even though Kham (by then promoted to Phraya Vijitbhakti Bijaisongkram) was in charged of the city of Chaiya, but he was also responsible for the defense of Chumphorn and Kanchnadisth cities as well. To facilitate the defense of those southern coastal cities, he invented, for the first time in Siamese history, hand grenades. This was done by putting gunpowder mixture into a small clay pot with pieces of ember on the lids. Once thrown, it caused the wooden ships of the Chinese pirates to burn. After 5 years, Kham was able to completely defeat the pirates and in the year 1899 he was again granted an even higher rank for having invented a new weapon.
Finally, 7 years later, on the 27th of September in 1906, Kham was promoted to Phraya Wacheesatyarak or ‘the guardian of the words of loyalty’, to overseer the oath-giving ceremony for those who would be serving the king. He died on the 29th of March of 1914.

Muay Chaiya History

2010-02-07T03:09:00.001-08:00

Muay Chaiya, the priceless heritage of Thai martial arts.

Muay Chaiya is one of Thai fighting styles that had helped in the defense of the kingdom for a long time. Muay Chaiya’s origin is in the southern province of Suratthani in the ancient city of Chaiya. Once upon a time, during the reigns of the first kings of the Maha Chakri dynasty, there lived a monk from Bangkok who travelled to Chaiya. The locals of Chaiya called him ‘He who arrived’, referring to the fact that this legendary figure had arrived to Chaiya from Bangkok. Before becoming a monk, he was a soldier but after he became tired his mundane and worldly possessions he became a monk and travelled to Suratthani. Once arrived in Chaiya, he began teaching the martial arts that he knew to the locals of the city as if they were his own children. One of the students whom he taught was Phraya Wacheesatyarak (Kham Sriyabhai), the governor of Chaiya at that time, and since then, the branch of Muay Thai taught by ‘the Monk’ came to be known as Muay Chaiya.

Phraya Wacheesatyarak then passed own this priceless style of martial arts down to his children one of which was master Khet Sriyabhai. After master Khet had studied Muay Chaiya from his father he then continued onward to study from 12 other masters and came to be renowned as ‘the Grand Master’. The original style of Muay Chaiya then became analyzed and improved to be more suitable for real life situations.

Since its genesis, the first four fundamentals of Muay Chaiya taught to the apprentices have always been:

I)	Cover
II)	Sweep
III)	Close
IV)	Open

These four basic fundamentals will protect every part of the fighter’s body from the toes to the hair. Once the apprentice has perfected the basic fundamentals he or she will be able to proceed onto the more advanced movements of Muay Chaiya easier. In conclusion, Muay Chaiya is a type of boxing that gives a lot of priority to self-defense and was selected to defend the kings in the past. Not only that, Muay Chaiya was greatly praised and liked by king Rama V when a boxer named Plong Chamnongthong defeated a boxer from Korat in a competition held by the palace

Understanding the parts of the body and their usages in Thai boxing.

	The fists (self-explanatory): knuckling, knocking, smashing, hurling, ramming, jolting, yanking, flinging, beating etc.
	The feet (anything from the knees down to the feet): kicking, hurling, pushing, etc.
	The knees (formed by bending the knees to strengthen the knee bones): used as both an efficient offensive and a defensive weapon.
	The elbows: (formed by bending the arms to form an angle at the elbows): used as both an efficient offensive and defensive weapon for the body.

How to position each parts of the body correctly

If a house needs its fences to prevent uninvited guests from entering or seeing what is happening inside, the body too needs its fences. To be in the guard position is called ‘charod muay’. Though there are countless ways to ‘charod muay’ but the type of guards that will be discussed down below is the Muay Chaiya style that can both defend the face and the body of the fighter and also prepare the fighter to strike back when there is an opportunity without the opponent knowing when it will come.

How to put up a proper ‘charod muay’ guard. In a proper ‘charod muay’, the person has to be able to switch the position of the arms quickly as he or she switches the foot from one to the other, front and back. The lower fist has to make a 45-degree angle with the arm of the other fist. When a punch is coming, all that is necessary for the person is to move the side of the upper arm up against the punch or move the arm downward. This type of movements will injure or hurt the arm that the opponent uses to punch and it will defend the fighter and injures the opponent at the same time.

Muay Chaiya, for those who have mastered it, will be able to borrow the force of the opponent to strike back and at the same time, defend himself. This is done by using the strongest bones in the body to block against attacks. To visualize this, imagine hitting yourself into an edge of a table. To wrap it all up, Muay Chaiya is not just about using force, strength or agility but it is also about a complete defense of the body, a wise retaliation and constant attacks.
