Just to point out, the man who held the pads in the second round was an extremely well respected Instructor.

He has since passed away.

He took advantage of his higher skill and the situation to enjoy his sadism.

I saw him move in and prevent your attacks with his weight and big bones to kick and deliberately injure you.

He out weighed you at least 50 pounds. His bones were twice as big as yours.

I say he is a son-of-a-B#*#!!@

Sifu Terry Gibson R.I.P. A superb instructor and gentleman, loved and respected by all who knew him.

This is Master Chai's Instructor Test, not figure skating. One of the mantras of the test is to overwhelm the candidate physically so it becomes a matter of heart and soul. Everyone who steps up to do this test knows that, its not supposed to be "fair", its supposed to be hell.

I have seen other people test with holders who were just as aggressive if not more so than the late Mr Gibson, they are just doing their job. And pass or fail, everyone walks off the mat as friends, and brothers.

If that isn't your thing, or you don't understand it, then OK. But don't throw offensive insults around about a man you know nothing about, and one who I'm sure Mr Mousel respected greatly.

The is a true motivation behind Muay Thai, many are in it to show off, to win, to prove something but very few know it is to build one's Heart- to train your Heart to relax and to see how deep/ tough your own Heart is. From this perspective, your trainer, your fellow sparring partners and your fight opponent is just a Tool to train your own Heart.

That is awesome docthai, I would agree that the toughest opponent is myself, and if I can conquer that, the outer results will be favorable no matter the outcome, win or lose.

There are of course many ways to train your heart,Thai people and therefore Muay Thai in Thailand is steeped in Teravada Budhismn,the Thai boxers understand this and fight from a heart of compasion,this is something we in the west could learn a great deal from imho.
