I read a post by Muay Siam describing a basic in MT called "Stepping in three zones". I 've been in MT for almost 2 years and have never heard of this. I know we have several instructors on here, can you explain this to me. I'd hate to skip a basic fundamental like this.

maybe he meant... stepping
1. back and forth
2. side to side
3. diagonal
just stepping and dragging.. iono he could mean something else? ..prolly -
read this for more info (web undercontruction)The Yang Sam Khum, which literally translates into “3 steps in 3 step paths”, refers to the ability to increase one's awareness, strength, and courage to the level that would frighten away even beasts. It is from this legend that Muay Thai derives its name for its unique footwork system - from which one can go in all directions safely without having to fear any attacks. Whether a fighter is skilled or not, one can judge clearly from his Yang Sam Khum.Comment

suksun's correct
yang sam khum is a method of stepping for defending, attacking, and evading.
there are three angles, your current position, foward to the right, and foward to the left, creating a triangle trapping your opponent in your path.
stepping is by lifting your shin to guard and stomping in each step both ways. this stepping method is mostly used to intimidate your opponent, to take controle of the game. nowadays it's almost only being used in wai kru rituals...pity.
you can also do the yang sam khum within your mind, for explanations i think you may ask suksun, he should know the same.Comment
