I would say I know the basics and hope to learn more.
erm, well I love Muay Thai and anything Thai! well exclude the corruption and a few other uglies that inhabit Thailand, but as a nation and culture Thailand is great, personally speaking that is. Muay Thai is part of their culture as is Muay Chao/Muay Boran/Krabi-Krabong, all of which I would like to learn about as I myself am only learning and really only a beginner in comparisons with some of the more knowledgable.... but never the less it is genuine interest that fuels my desire to learn Muay Thai and Thai traditions, its hard though as at the moment I am not in Thailand, its hard to motivate myself to study a S.E.Asian system for fighting (the way I would like to learn it) and their language when i myself am not in asia.
I believe that in order for myself to learn and really understand Muay Thai also to learn how to read and write Thai language while getting to know the Thai people in general I need to live there, I need to live the professional Muay Thai life and need to become "Thai" for a period of my life, I have lived there but only for a brief period, not long enough to really gain a deeper understanding of Muay Thai, its origins, Thai language and Thai people... next time, I will leave thailand, if I leave that is, knowing exactly why I chose Muay Thai as a form of fitness and defense.
I been to a few Asian countries but i love Thailand.
if you have questions I would recommend asking Nitro as he lives there at the moment and really knows his shit.
