Intro:
Krabi-Krabong is a martial art using traditional weapons from
Thailand.
Origin:
Thailand.
History:
Krabi-Krabong is a traditional Thai martial art still practiced in
Thailand. This tradition focuses on hand-held weapons as well as
empty hand techniques. Specifically the:
"Krabi" (sword)
"Plong" (quarterstaff)
"Ngao" (staff with blade in the end)
"Daab Song Meu" (a pair of swords held in each hand)
"Mae Sun-Sawk" (a pair of clubs)
Although for most Thais Krabi-Krabong is a ritual to be display
during festivals or at tourist venues, the art is still solemnly
taught according to a 400-years-old tradition handed down from
Ayutthaya's Wat PutthaiSwan. The King's elite bodyguard are trained
in Krabi-Krabong; many Thai cultural observers perceive it as
a "purer" tradition.
Like Muay Thai of 70 years ago, modern Krabi-Krabong matches are held
within a marked circle, beginning with a "Wai Kruu" ceremony and
accompanied throughout by a musical ensemble. Thai boxing techniques
and judo-like throws are employed in conjunction with weapons
techniques. Although sharpened weapons are used, the contestants
refrain from striking their opponents - the winner is decided on the
basis of stamina and the technical skill displayed. Although an
injured fighter may surrender, injuries do not automatically stop a
match.
Vale Tudo Bareknuckle full contact mixed martial art allows striking
the entire body. Only rule is do not bite or poke the eyes. They
even kick the groin.
Bare Knuckle boxing look at Kimbo Slice or Lenny Mc Clean.
The UFC is interesting but uses gloves & has lots of rules.
Muay Thai in the old days did not use gloves.
Muay Thai is the best of the striking arts with the closest to
combat reality.
Streetfighting=
Weapons being used against you, A knife, rock, brick, stick, gun,
broken glass, acid, muliple attackers, Psycopath high on drugs.
There are no referees no one to protect you.
You are in Mortal Danger.
Even fighters like Mike Tyson could be in big trouble in such
situations.

Tom Platz talks squatting
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I really believe attitude monitors talent. You have to take what you
want. There has to be a certain amount of killer instinct present.
You can't take no-grow for an answer. This strategy can be applied
in any venture."
Some people like to live without too much risk. They're satisfied
leading a safe existence. This attitude of caution infiltrates into
their goals. Every successful athlete - or businessperson - enjoys
taking calculated risks. You have to. Especially in the gym when
you're squatting 500 for reps and you can't get one more but grunt
out ten. Your nose starts bleeding, you fall into the rack and
that's set one.
I have thought about training sessions weeks in advance. For
instance, if a big squat workout is scheduled for the middle of next
month, I am aware of it as the days pass by. One-week prior I'll
make sure not to walk too much or engage in any unnecessary
activity. I used to plan my classes in college with minimum walking
distance between them.
After being taught sets and reps and working at it for a length of
time you can't paint by numbers anymore. It must come from within.
Any artist has an emotional contact with their work. A true
bodybuilder doesn't just build muscle he creates muscle. You can't
be a robot."
"The first thought that comes to mind when the sets become tough is
that I cannot lose. I refuse to lose and be a failure. It's much
more desirable to leave the gym saying, "I won!"
"It's not a competition between you and someone else. You may not do
your best and still win. But when you are competing with yourself
you have to beat your own record. When I was in my twenties I didn't
think about it much, but when I was in my mid-thirties I came to
realize my own mortality. Let me explain. In my twenties, after
doing more reps than I had planned on a set of squats, I'd fall to
the floor and cover my eyes. The light hurt them and it felt like
there was someone stabbing knives into my legs. There was always
severe oxygen debt, but I was confident I'd "come back". In my
thirties I'd lie on the floor sometimes and think, "God damn! What
if I don't come back?
Looking back, I do believe my drive to achieve this over-the-top
intensity was, in a way, self-abusive. I wasn't out to kill myself.
But when you're training that hard there is a certain amount of self-
abuse. Normal people don't have to go through that. You don't drive
a normal car excessively hard. A funny car, however, is pushed for
all its worth to achieve every last bit of performance. But we learn
a lot about our everyday cars from the drag strip. In the same way,
we gain knowledge about the human body from pro athletes. Not
everyone is psychologically able to be a pro athlete."
"I wasn't the biggest bodybuilder. There's no denying that I had
some freaky body parts. But ultimately I think it was most important
to me to relay the energy I found in the gym to those in the
audience. Through my posing I wanted to change or add to the way
people think about the gym experience."
"Arnold used to enjoy my intensity. He'd comment on the amount of
energy I'd conjure up. But I played off the other people, too"
"When you promise yourself something, make a commitment, you can't
give up. Because, when you're in the gym, you have to fulfill the
promise you made to yourself. The people who can self motivate - in
any field - are usually the ones who win. Regardless of talent."
"I used to like putting a little space between plates on the bar.
They'd jingle when I came up out of a squat, making a deep-throated
roar. The old 45s were the best. The sound would pass through my
spine and ears. It was like a car engine revving up. It would help
me time my movement. A cue to go down for the next rep."
"Six-hundred pounds (on squats) became a moderate-rep weight. One
month before the '84 Olympia I did 635 for 12 reps
In 1993, I was just playing around with heavy weights. What we'd
(him and Fred Hatfield) do is put over a grand on the bar, take it
off the rack and just hold it for a count of ten or twenty. It's a
great idea, but my spine couldn't handle it."
"In the process of training I'd find the exact moment of maximum
tension within the muscle group and exploit it. I did what I did
instinctually, and now scientific data backs it as a viable way to
make muscle hypertrophy."
"I was built to squat."
"I don't believe in luck. Luck comes to men of action."
"The only aspect of my (bodybuilding) career I would change if I
could would be to have calmed down a little in the off-season. I was
just so enthusiastic."
"Sometimes your strongest attribute becomes an obstacle. The fact
that you can focus and concentrate and nail something usually means
you become very good at doing one thing at a time. The problem I've
encountered is that I sometimes focus so much on one thing that I
will forget everything else."
"The psychological tools I've gained from bodybuilding will never
atrophy.
Got this off bodybuildinguniverse.com
My Thai coach has over 300 fights under his belt that were all
fought in Thailand where he grew up. I asked him about the banana
tree idea and what they do/did to toughen up thier shins. He
said, "first of all, the only reason we planted banana trees was for
the bananas and we would of gotten in big trouble if we were kicking
it all the time, it would die and then no bananas." His opinion is
that the best way is kicking a heavy bag and thai pads. That
together with regular sparring is the most natural approach.
On a different note, when I started out kickboxing, I would go
rounds on different bags, different thicknesses and weights for each
and then I would often finish with a couple rounds kicking a tire.
We would just nail a light duty tire to a 4x4 or tree or something
and lightly kick it until the shin goes numb, soon you can kick it
for 3minutes with no pain but to get to that point you have to
endure the pain and soreness and if you don't keep doing it, it's
all for nothing.
I go along with my thai coaches suggestion now and sometimes I get
caught off gaurd with something that hurts my shins since they're
not de-sensitized to the extreme.
Kicking Heave Bag with shins 500 kicks each legs roundhouse shin
kicks,
Shin Kicks on foucus pads & Shields 500 kicks each leg.
Rolling Pin up & down on shin to flatten shin bone so as to get used
to impact this will create shins of stone.
If in Pain use tiger balm on shins regularly.
Always drink lots of milk & take a calcium tablet everyday to keep
bones strong and multi vitamin for energy.
