Hi Sportmuaythai,

I still think it's a bad situation for Muay Chaiya, George' s example is good and I have been through both
a style of wing chun and muay boran because of my ignorance, and learned a lot about marketing and how to fool people.

Once I met other teachers and understood that it was all about BS marketing
it was frustrating for me to start again, so much time, money and energy wasted.

I would have probably gone training with kru Praeng if I hadn't met serious
people who helped me and informed me about other thai teachers and systems. Oddly these teachers are not on a pedestal nor wish to be there,
my teacher even told me he was not so good!

I am a beginner in Muay Chaiya and I have to do my time with this style (as it should be with any style or muay) but at least I can be sure to be doing
what I was looking for with serious persons, and this counts a lot!

BTW I liked a post of yours where you advised to go through sport Muay Thai
for awhile before training Muay Chaiya, it does make a lot of sense to me.
