Muay Boran, ancient muay thai art still effective? - Page 2

There still are teachers and students of traditional Thai fighting arts.
I wouldn't call that "boran" but muay Korat, Lanna, Chaiya.....

I cant see a problem with using the term "Boran",
thai people use the term for things ancient such as Muang Boran-ancient city,nuat phen boran-ancient massage etc,
so though i can understand the teachers of ancient Muay styles calling their particular method Muay Chaiya,korat,lopburi etc thai people who were not practicioners of the various styles would call them Muay Boran(at least my thai friends all do)

Yes I understand boran is an adjective that means ancient, so
some people will generalise Muay Boran meaning "ancient way of fighting",
without going into details, just like when you say kung fu.

Some people here in the west call muay boran what they say is THE ancient
way of fighting and sel it that way. That was what I was meaning.
