You have to take what I say with a grain of salt. George Stando, Vincent Giordanno, and myself have all trained with Colonel Amnat, but George and Vincent have also trained extensively from other sources. I have only trained under one other coach (Master Kham Philavahn through Kru Eric Kolesar) and that training was merely learning some basic principles, strategy, and technique with little to no historical perspective to back it up.
If I remember correctly (operative word: "IF") Lion's Walk is derivative of Muay Chaiya. However, I could be remembering incorrectly or misinterpreting the lessons.
