Khun Kru Mike is on a distinguished road
Default Krabi Krabong

Hi. This is Khun Kru Mike Walrath; I teach Muay Thai in Eugene, Oregon (for about 20 years; I am Director State of Oregon for the TBA, full instructor under Ajarn Chai; I am certified in Krabi Krabong under Ajarn Samai from Buddhai Swan Sword Fighting Institute in Thailand...). I teach Muay Thai and Krabi Krabong. Our next Muay Thai fights are scheduled for June 10 in Van Couver Canada.
We recently had a Krabi Krabong workshop taught by Ajarn Stephen Wilson. It was awesome-- His knowledge of Krabi Krabong is very thorough and authentic, not polluted by any other weapons influences: it's the real deal. I want take this opportunity, in this forum, to personally thank Steve for selling his house to move his whole life to Buddhai Swan so he could complete the entirety of the courses offered, and bring it back to the U.S. for the rest of us ferongs (foreigners). We all have a rare opportunity in Ajarn Stephen Wilson to get pure Krabi Krabong training.
I was very surprised to not see Ajarn Stephen Wilson's name anywhere in Terry Tippie's article on Krabi Krabong
http://www.thaiboxing.com/krabi-article.php
Note: Ajarn Stephen Wilson is the same rank as Tony Moore, highest ranking Krabi Krabong practitioner outside of Thailand.

I had the opportunity to train with Steve at Buddhai Swan along with Greg Nelson (Muay Thai , Minnesota), we had a ball-- between the three of us, we developed a deeper appreciation for peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches.

To visit Ajarn Stephen Wilson's website go to:
