Eight-time Muay Thai world champion and WBC Muaythai Hall of Famer Miriam Nakamato rates seven Muay Thai scenes in movies and TV, such as "Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior" and "Raya and the Last Dragon," for realism.
Nakamoto breaks down the accuracy of Muay Thai techniques in "Power Rangers Jungle Fury" (2008) and "Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior" (2003), starring Tony Jaa. She looks at the realism of defensive and offensive tactics in "Raya and the Last Dragon" (2021) and "Furious 7" (2015), starring Paul Walker. She also looks at the realism of Muay Thai training and traditions in "Street Fighter II: V" (1995), "A Prayer Before Dawn" (2017), and "Kickboxer" (1989), starring Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Nakamoto has been a Muay Thai practitioner for more than 20 years and has produced a perfect 16-0 record to date. Her background in other martial-arts includes kickboxing, boxing, and Brazilian jujitsu.

    Its kind of the same with Karate, where most karate schools teach karate that falls under "tournament rules", so a lot of the actual techniques are slowly being forgotten except for their places of origin. I dont know enough about Muay Thai to correct her on the "different levels of Muay Thai to master?

    So I grew up in Thailand doing Muay Chaiya, a southern Muay Boran style. I believe the tiger knee is a reference to a specific low stance where you're almost in a lunged position, back knee almost touching the ground. The idea is to bait a mid-low kick and transition into a sweep or strike. I think the stance translates to "tiger drags its tail". It's possible to do a knee strike from that position, but takes a great deal of athleticism, energy, and wind-up that's generally not practical and thus not expected - but a great deal of power if delivered. Maybe the anime just wanted a signature move and formulated the name "tiger knee", but it's possible this is a reference to a tiger stance into an improbable knee strike that distills the idea that only someone with top tier athleticism and experience could do.

We are talking about game (and this anime adaptation) that has yoga practioner able to stretch their limps, float in the air, and even breath fire. No one is expecting realism I guess.

    A kick with the sole of the foot to the face is considered a severe offense. You do this on purpose to insult your opponent. The logic behind it: in Thai culture the head is view as the vessel of one's soul, the foot - touching the ground - is dirty. So, trying to run dirt onto one's soul is disrespectful.

    FYI Tony Jaa is displaying classical Muay Boran guard stance which is more angular and more protective than sport Muay Thai's 11 guard. The Muay Boran techniques displayed here from Ong Bak all have traditional poetic names influenced by the epic myth of Ramakien which is based on the Hindu Ramayana. The teep to the face is "Bata Loopak" or "Foot Touches Face" which is also a sign of disrespect toward an opponent. The second one where Tony jumps over Big Bear's kicking leg and knees him in the face is "Hanuman Kham Longka" or "Monkey King Crosses the city of Lanka". The late Grandmaster Sidyodtong actually makes a cameo here and utters the technique out loud. Lastly, the jumping double knee and double elbow is called "Chuey Khang" or "Chuck the Chin" movement. Also "Kickboxer" is an iconic JCVD movie, but really deserves a 2/10 instead of a 4 for a lot of inaccuracies. I doubt the general audience would not be too keen on them but a seasoned person already in the know about Muay Thai would definitely have a field day. For one, old style boxers do not dip their kaad chuek or hand rope wrappings in giant chunks of broken glass but finely ground bits for the abrasion. To name some others, there's a scene where Van Damme is training against a hard palm tree not a banana tree which boxers actually use in lieu of a heavy bag. Banana trees have a fleshy plant-like stem, not wood. This makes them suitable for hitting without damage to the shins. And lastly, except for a few scenes, Van Damme is mostly throwing karate-style kicks throughout the entire movie when he's supposed to be using Thai-style kicks.

Through and through it's just muay Boran that Jaa is practicing and displaying. Historically speaking "muay Boran" comes from the same roots as other systems like pradal Serey and lethwei and is the umbrella term to cover all of the major regional flavors of Korat, Chaiya. Lopburi and Thasao. You can even throw Krabi Krabong into there as it is a type of muay Boran. In Tony's second movie, however, he came up with "muay Kotchasarn" or Elephant Boxing style which was brilliantly portrayed and totally fictitious lol.

    Van Damme comes from shotokan Karate. The reason why we “fold” the foot away from the shin during a roundhouse kick (she calls it pointing your toes) is simply to avoid a multiple fracture to your toes if the top of your toes hit your target (think his shoulder or elbow) when you hit. For example, imagine if Leon Edwards toes had hit Kumaru Usman instead of his shin. He would have broken his on toes on the spot and lost the fight. So some fighting styles sacrifice a bit of energy on that kick to remove the risk of breaking your toes. Unless you’re wearing shoes of course, then it’s ok. This lady’s hit by the way. And 23 years of fighting? How old is she?

    In a competition you actually do not do that, you hit with the flat side of the foot, and have the toes like a Muay Thai fighter. In "a real fight" you flex the tows and hit with the toes (the ball of the foot behind the toes). Because that makes the target area smaller, especially when you want to hit a pressure point. And if you aim for the head: you easy hit behind the block, if there is a block.

    What I liked more than the fights was that the protagonist was actively trying to avoid fighting. Got tired of those films where the protagonist is a "pacifist" who, at the first inconvenience, just stands defiantly, waiting for someone to provoke him into a "justified" fight. It was "hey! this guy actually acts as if he did not want to fight!". The persecutions were cool, too.

    Muay boran (Tony used) has a low stance in order to defend take down. Muay boran came from battle fields. People only needed to strike, defend, and take down. Muay boran has many joint locks and take downs but 0 submission and ground fight. Why? Back in old wars, if you got thrown to the ground, you'd get stomped or ran over or stabbed with any objects then died. No need to do arm bar or other submission. (Even in real fight today, once you throw a person with Judo or Wrestling or whatsoever, you can very well smack the dude with a rock or any hard object, or stomp his head "IF" you aint afraid of lawsuits after for killing the person. No ground fighting needed to win a fight). Anyways thays why Tony's stance or Muay borna stance is low. Muay thai stance tosay is standing tall to strike fast and hard and also because it doesn't have take downs, so you don't need to lower your body for extra balance.

Muay Boran basically just means old style boxing Mongkhon = มงคล = A headgear, there are a lots of tradition and ritualistic aspect to muay thai and this part of them. Interstingly มงคล also mean auspicious in normal day-to-day usage. Wai Khru = ไหว้ครู = Traditional ritual of venerating your teacher/school before the match. ไหว้ is a thai version of indian greeting. ครู/Khru means teacher, cognate with of the word Guru.

You are correct, they do not do so much of wheel kick, spinning back fist, etc. because when one turns the back, the eyes are off the opponent. Some kick with the ball of the foot (shoving kick or "teep" is one), no axe or heel kicks. Round house is best if standing foot totally pivots, blocking the Thai kicks with one arm may not be adequate. Obviously, you are very knowledgeable, congratulation on your career.

Muay Thai is the perfect street Martial Art if the practitioner can use it well. I can transition easily to effective moves, that is what helped me win fights. If you try grabbing me you get a knee or an elbow. We even have an elbow done when an opponent grabs your wrist, you just tuck in the wrist while lifting the elbow over to the opponents head, or pull down your wrist, bringing the opponents head to a knee or spinning elbow. Today I am a referee with the kickboxing federation. Van Damme's kick in Blood Sport was a karate kick, he was doing a flick kick most of the time, which is an incomplete kick in Muay Thai, where your hip or pelvis has to be in the kick, it is a total transfer of bodyweight into the kick which can send you into a spin if you miss.

    Thanks for sharing. I love breakdowns of fight scenes. I do it myself. Not to say I am any form of martial arts expert. But I like to watch, rewatch, slow down, and see what attacks are being used, reactions, figure out the move's intention and things that could have gone better. I never looked closely at Muay Thai. This was very educational for me. I draw comics and maybe one day, I'll have a Muay Thai fighter.

    Just wanted to say...the reason that Van Damme pointed his toes when kicking, was because he was using a Savate kick. I read somewhere that he is a student of both Savate and muay Thai. I'm guessing that he first learned Savate, then studied muay Thai. Savate is described as fencing with hands and feet. Which would make sense, as to why they use their feet like that.

    Savate uses shoes when they kick. JCVD's main styles were Shotokan Karate and Tae Kwon Do, but his "movie style" is mainly just something that he created to look good for the camera and showcase his flexibility more than a actual martial arts style. The signature "JCVD style" looks like it has roots in TKD, Shotokan, and ballet with a little bit of Muay Thai, but it's not an actual martial art as much as it is a combination of moves that look good on film.

    There are several Ancient Muay Thai Styles (simple called as "Muay Boran", Boran = Ancient). So if someone didn't know some stances before might be because those stances disappeared from the majority's practice. What we need to know now is there are 5 recorded Muay Boran Styles (as I tried to search so far), each from 4 different regions including the North (Tha Sao), the Central (Lopburi), the Northeastern (Korat), the South (Chaiya), and the style from Department of Physical Education. Each style has its own uniqueness and far more deadly than the style most people in the industry practice right now as it is used for "war", especially in the "live or die" situation. Also, I don't remember where I found this acclaim "the most deadliest standing stance fighting style", but I do agree with it.

    @@cyborgchicken3502 To be fair she is talking quite a bit of nonsense in this clip. I put it down to the different style of Muay Thai that is likely being taught in the US. One example is at 10:45 - 11:05, she says you don't do that, even though it is very common to see. In the video "Rodtang's Dangerous Muay Thai Style", you may see Rodtang (one of the best Muay Thai fighters in Thailand) perform this multiple times. Just after the 7 minute mark or at 11:22 are two examples. Guard down during a Muay Thai fight in front of a fighter at close (elbow) range, dishing out hooks. Ramon Dekkers is another fighter that very often did that. Again there is a video on yt: "The Very Best of Ramon Dekkers (Knockouts/Highlights) | Muay Thai" that shows him within the first minute do it multiple times. 0:25 through 0:32 for example. 0:30 to 0:32 also show him standing low in front of his opponent whilst finishing him, something she says you don't do in Muay Thai (standing low). Both of those fighter's footages (especially the 0:25 to 0:32 from Dekkers) are also contrary to what she says at 6:07. Odd that she doesn't remember this very common technique called "hook". The shown film footage of the hooks by Tony Jaa look rather like wild arm swings instead of a controlled hook, though. It is a movie after all.

He also said that he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor when he was in the Army in Vietnam, but in the picture of him wearing it, he's wearing the Air Force variant.

And then a Segal came along and did pretty much the same thing! Although I think those particular clips came from 'Kickboxer', which came out the year after 'Bloodsport'.
