HI MY NAME IS Lesley-Anne
I'M A NON SMOKER.
I AM 24 YEARS YOUNG.
I LIVE IN SCOTLAND.
I DO MUAY THAI BOXING
No one knows precisely when or how Muay Thai developed, as records go back only 700 years(while estimates of its age go back 2,000, originating in what is now China). But it is clear that it is the sport of kings, used, according to the Chiang Mai annals, in 1411, when King Sen Muajng Ma died and his two sons literally fought to "the first blood" for the throne. I time, every soldier trained in Muay Thai (as they still do today) and some of the kings of the Ayutthaya period were hailed as champions.
Most remarkable of these was Phra Buddha Chao Sua (???????????), known as the "Tiger King". It was improper to even touch a king, so they led his opponents into the ring to lose without throwing a single fist or foot. So, how was the king to prove his skill? As the story goes, he heard about a temple festival where he knew there would be boxing matches, and dressing as a peasant, through an aide sworn to secrecy he arranged a fight. He won easily -- being awarded a prize of one baht -- then told the fight promoter he would take on all comers.
Winning again and again, he finally defeated the national champion.
During the reign of King Rama V, Muay Thai matches were Royal Command fights and winners were granted military titles by the King. The Royal connection continues to this day. Muay Thai has changed. A hundred years ago, there were no timekeepers, no rounds (and thus no rest periods), no clearly defined divisions by weight, and boxers bound their lower arms and fists with cotton thread woven into a chain-like configuration, then dipped them in glue and finely-ground glass or grit. In 1929, the switch was made to gloves, greatly reducing the death and serious injury rates. Today, amateur fighters were protective helmets and padded vests. Still, it is rare when a year passes when no one is skilled in the ring.
"Muay Thai has everything," said Stephen Fox. "The action, the tradition, the history and the skills. When people started to realize it was a real art, the numbers grew and grew."
Hoey!!
Muay Thai, known worldwide as "Thai Kick Boxing," is the Kingdom's national sport and one of the fastest growing martial arts in the world. Forget Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Forget Steven Seagal. Forget Jackie Chan. Forget Chuck Norris and all the rest. When it comes to self-defense, Muay Thai is called "the most ferocious and deadly martial art in the world" and "the hardest ring sport on earth" and it has been the winner for hundreds of years.
When outsides learn that Thai boxers weigh as little as 45 kilograms, they smile indulgently. But not if they've seen a professional bout. Nor when they learn that over the centuries,
when Thai "kick-boxers" have been pitted against foreigners fighting in other styles, the ferocious and relentless barrage of blows from the head, fists, elbows, knees, and feet for which Muay Thai is known has destroyed all challengers.
Cross-disciplinary matches are also commonplace in many foreign countries today where the opponents seem to "waste a lot of time and energy with meaningless moves" --as one fighter put it -- and are unused to being attacked with feet, elbows, knees and heads. Most martial arts permit only feet or fists, while some limit the target areas to above the waist. The Thais believe that you're going to fight, use everything you're got. The results are always the same. As one foreign fighter described it, "It's like being carpet-bombed by somebody the size of my little sister."
Some of the credit for the sport's popularity must go to Bruce Lee and fighters-turned-entertainers. In their films, Van Damme, who makes most of his movies in Thailand, Jackie Chan and all the other gave kick boxing worldwide exposure it could never have realized any other way.
"These guys are a mixed blessing," says Marc Hobers, the manager of the Dutch team at the King's Cup last August and owner of a gym in Holland where he teaches Muay Thai. "Sometimes they give the wrong picture. New students come to us after they've seen the movies, but they only see the end result, and not everyone has the patience to get there. Jean-Claude Van Damme is very good, and he makes it look easy, but he didn't do it in six months."
How long does it takes? No one can say, but in Thailand's Muay Thai camps, young village boys may have their first fight when they are eight years old. Some of this children are "adopted" by their trainers when life in the camp may be preferable to that at home. Many of these camps are in Isan, Thailand's poor northeast, where Muay Thai may be regards, as a way to escape poverty. Here, under the tutelage of former champions, the boys go to two schools, learning to read and write, but also to box. Training days are long and there is no day of rest.
They also learn complex rituals. The day of a fight begins with a monk's blessing. Headbands and armbands are worn, with prayers tightly rolled inside. Some fighters have their backs, arms and chests decorated with protective tattoos. Spell are cast against opponents and to ward off evil spirits. Even the blows themselves carry the poetic yet violent whiff of the East, with names that translate as Bird Peeping Through the Nest, Rama Pulls the Arrow String, Mountain Overturns Earth, Break the Elephant's Neck and Monk Follower Sweep the Floor.
The sport's appeal is rooted, in part, in the marriage of the grace and savagery, in the seeming contradiction between the Thai stereotype of gentleness and self-effacement and the reality of bone crushing bone, the blood that sometimes splatters ringside spectators. Another contradiction is in the use of feet as weapons, in a nation where the foot is considered "low" and it is taboo to sit with the feet toward the Buddha figure in a temple and bad form to do the same to anyone anywhere else. And to a point one's feet at someone's head or kick it? Unthinkable.

Best Bruce Lee Music Video Ever! Tribute to the master!
You cant do anything about yesterday
but you can do something about tomorrow
Live it..
If you think you are beaten
you are.
If you think you dare not
you don't.
If you'd like to win
but you think you can't
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose
you've lost.
For out of the world you find
Success begins with a fellow's will
It's all in the state of mind.

Eyewitness accounts.
If this had happened in a US airport
compared to Glasgow
America: "Oh my God! There was a man on fire,
he was running about,i just ran for my life.
I thought i was gonna die, he got so close to me"
Glasgow "Bawbag wis running aboot on fire,
so a ran up n gave him a good boot, then decked him"
America: " I just wanna get home, away from here.
I just wanna get home, I thought i was gonna die"
Glasgow: " here shug, am no leaving here till
am oan a f**kin' plane!"
America: " there was pandemonium, people were running
in all directions, we didn't know what was happening
thought i was gonna die"
Glasgow :"F*ck this fir a kerry oan,

auld dear,if am gonna be oan the telly a want her

And finally, two quotes from an
eye-witness.........John Smeaton (these
are 100% real!!!)
John just surpassed himself on the National ITV news.
The interviewer asked:
"What message do you have for the bombers"
he replied "This is Glasgow - we'll just set about
you"
John did an interview on CNN and they asked how he
restrained the guy and he said:
"me and other folk were just tryin to get the boot in,
and some other guy banjoed him" !
The guy has his own webpage already
with the quotes is brilliant....
John Smeaton = Legend.
