Once, during the time when Master Khet Siriyapai was still training in fighting, he
was watching Gran Master Gimseng Taweesit teach his students how to defend against a kick using the palm of his hand. Master Khet was still a teenager, and so he asked Grand Master Gimseng “If I kick as fast as the wind blows, can you still defend it?” Gran Master Gimseng replied by asking “How many footballs have you burst with your kick?”, to which Master Khet replied “I have burst two footballs with my kick.”
Grand Master Gimseng then said “Kick me”. He defended three fast hard kicks from Master Khet, after the third however, Master Khet also threw a punch. Grand Master Gimseng countered this with a palm strike to the chin, dropping Master Khet to the floor. Grand Master Gimseng then asked “The wind has stopped blowing has it?”, to which Master Khet put up his hands and humbly bowed “Yes, the wind has stopped.”
This is part of the history of Grand Master Gimseng and Master Khet before they where student and teacher. Things need to be tested before they are really known.
