I live in the US and am very proud of a great Muay Thai fighter like Buakaw. I got up early this Sunday morning, heard Bangrachan song before the fight, saw the fight, and then had tears in my eyes – proud to be a Thai!
His training model is the best. As he lives simple life in a small town, he uses basic Muay Thai training equipment day in and day out to make him the best. No gimmicks, right? Moreover, he trains hard knowing he has to deal with many fighters who are bigger than him. It appears to me that besides he knows the art of Muay Thai very well, he also adds EXTRA strengths, quicness, and endurance to his training. It paid off!
I also do like that he is a smart fighter. He is like the legendary Put Lorlek. Give Buakaw time,he would find weaknesses of opponents, then purnish them over and over.
After all, we have so many great things in Thailand to tell the world. Muay Thai is one of them. I live in a small town in the US, and Muay Thai training camps are everywhere. They know who Buakaw is. No surprise, many million people around the world know Buakaw, Muay Thai, and Thailand.
To me, Muay Thai represents who we are. We pay restpect to people, nice and polite, with a smile on our faces. Yet, when it is time to fight, we can be tough. Ajarn Chai, the most famous Muay Thai master in the US once said, “Soft like silk but tough like a diamond.”
