Thai Boxing
in Jeet Kune Do
In order to understand where Thai boxing fits into the puzzle that is
known as Jeet Kune Do, we must first understand a little about the process
by which JKD evolved. The operative word here is "process".
To quote Dan
Inosanto, "JKD
is not about the product, but about the process".
When Bruce Lee
first came to America, he quickly observed how much larger and stronger
the average American was compared to the average Chinese. This was the
original impetus that caused Lee to start the process of modifying his
mother art of
Wing
Chun. Between 1964 and
1973 Lee, with the assistance of Dan Inosanto, dissected every fighting
art that the two could discover and selected elements that formed the
foundation of what would eventually be called Jeet Kune Do. Not every
aspect of every art was included, of course.
In certain cases, only training methods or combat theory were extracted.
This is the case with
Western
Fencing, which lent its concept of the "Stop
Hit" (or
Interception)
to JKD's combat philosophy and, indeed, to JKD's very name (Way
of the Intercepting Fist).
All systems of martial art have their strong and weak points. Bruce Lee
observed that, "There
is a range in which Western
Boxing will counter any kicking art; there is a
range in which
Wing
Chun will counter
Boxing; there is a range where
Tai
Chi will counter
Wing
Chun; and there is a range where
Grappling will counter
Tai
Chi".
In short, Lee chose elements from the selected arts to give his students
an integrated framework that would prepare them to fight any opponent at
any range. Those who witnessed Lee at any of his closed-door sparring
sessions saw this principle in action. Limited by the vocabulary of their
time, these witnesses were never able to find a label for Lee. Sometimes
he would dance and shuffle at long range – boxing with his lead foot and
hitting the opponent at previously unknown angles, like an experienced
Savate
man. But if the opponent countered, Lee would bob and weave and throw body
shots like a professional boxer. Upon being blocked by the opponent, he
would shift into
Wing
Chun's
Chun
Choy (Straight
Blast), trapping any
obstruction, pummeling with a flurry of elbows, knees, or head butts, and
ending the encounter with a foot sweep or throw. All of these difficult
elements would appear in a "match" that lasted just ten seconds! Before
his death, Lee, along with Inosanto, had been investigating
Muay Thai
extensively. After Lee's death, Dan continued the research with the help
of
Chai Sirisute.
We currently find three elements of Thai boxing to be most useful in JKD:
The Thigh
Kick
The thigh kick used by Thai boxers is perhaps the most formidable kick on
the planet. Thai boxers rely on their thigh kick much like a Western boxer
relies on his jab. One might say that this kick is the hub of their wheel.
Back in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, low stances were very common –
martial artists of the time strongly favored stability over agility. This
facilitated Bruce Lee's use of the
Jeet
Tek
(Side
Kick) to the knee to intercept his opponent. Nowadays, we
see boxing footwork more often than low stances. This makes the knee a
much more difficult target to hit with a side kick. Therefore, many modern
JKD practitioners also use the thigh kick as a tool to intercept.
As we look at 90 percent of today's no-holds-barred contests, we see that
the thigh kick is predominant among winning fighters. For example, one of
the most highly acclaimed fights in the Ultimate Fighting Championship's
history was the bout between Maurice Smith and Mark Coleman. Maurice Smith
literally controlled the fight using the thigh kick. Another example of
the use of the thigh kick was the fight between Marco Ruas and Paul "Polar
Bear" Varelans. Again, the thigh kick was the pivotal weapon, allowing
Ruas to control the distance and cadence of the entire match. These are
just two examples (of many) of how potent this weapon really is. To truly
appreciate the power of the Muay Thai thigh kick, you simply must be on
the receiving end of one! Many good Thai boxers double up their kicks,
executing two in a row. Landing multiple thigh kicks in quick succession
on the same area of the body is nauseatingly painful. In short, if you
have not already incorporated this kick into your arsenal, start now!
The Thai
Boxing Mindset
When I think of a Thai boxer, one thing comes to mind immediately: hard
core! These are some of the toughest people on Earth. Bruce Lee
incorporated the very same mentality into his trapping. Any martial artist
can take any aspect of his or her art and use the Thai boxer's mindset to
"hardcore"
their particular art. For example, anyone can put on a set of boxing
gloves, poke shots at a partner, and call that boxing. But if one truly
wanted to "hardcore" his punches, he would find a boxing gym and get in
with an actual pro. The training regimen of a pro (i.e. stamina, heavy-bag
workouts, weight training, and sparring sessions) is completely different
from that of an amateur boxer.
It's one thing to roll around on the mat and practice arm locks,
triangles, and chokes. However, if you were to go to Brazil and train for
the Pan Am Games, then you'd be able to experience the hardcore side of
jiu-jitsu and appreciate it at an entirely different level! Many people
like to practice various trapping techniques working from reference points
only (or training exclusively on the wooden dummy). If these very same
people go to a professional boxing gym and recruit a pro boxer, put a
motorcycle helmet on him, and then spar full-contact while they try to
apply their trapping techniques, this would be an example of a
Wing
Chun person applying the Muay Thai hardcore
mentality. In the world of stick fighting, many people train themselves
only – singly doing various drills and disarms. These people could use the
Thai boxing mentality to "hardcore" their training by incorporating the
use of lead pipes or heavy sticks in their drills, and by sparring full
contact.
To a Jeet Kune Do practitioner, the Thai boxing mindset provides a way to
inject realism into his or her training. It is not enough to simply
practice the same drills day-after-day. When a martial artist knows that
he can go all out, take some punishment, and keep going, it does a lot for
his survival mentality. Anyone can benefit immensely from watching a good
Thai boxing match; however, this mentality is one attribute that is best
learned by experience. There are many great Thai boxers in the world – I
highly recommend investing the time, money, and courage to go and actually
train at one of the many Thai camps. If you think boot camp was tough, try
a Thai camp!
The Clinch
Being on the receiving end of a flurry of
Savate kicks
is a very intimidating prospect. Having a barrage of punches thrown at you
by a professional boxer is equally intimidating. Being stuck on the
ground, in the guard of a black belt Brazilian jiu-jitsu stylist, knowing
that you are seconds away from being put into an arm lock, triangle choke,
or sweep, is downright humiliating. However, being in the grasp of a
professional Thai boxer in clinch position is nothing less than sickening!
You can't go forward, you can't go backward, you have no balance or base;
and to make matters worse, you are being assaulted by two of the most
barbaric tools on Earth –
elbows
and
knees.
For the truly masochistic martial artist, this is the coup de grace. It is
not recommended for the faint of heart! For a JKD stylist, the Thai boxing
clinch is the most natural position to end up in following the infamous
straight blast. From the clinch, he can execute tactics such as elbows,
head butts, and knees, or take an opponent to the ground if desired.
In closing, as we look back some 30 years, it is obvious that Bruce Lee
and Dan Inosanto were the pioneers of modern martial arts. They understood
then, what the world is seeing now – no one art, theology, or philosophy
has it all. No race or culture has a monopoly on the truth. We can truly
see that today's martial artists are harvesting knowledge from seeds that
were planted by Bruce Lee and Dan Inosanto. As each year passes, people
are becoming more open-minded and more eclectic; more willing to live by
the concept of "Absorb
what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your
own".
In following this adage, it's quite apparent that Thai boxing offers a
wealth of techniques both for JKD stylists, and martial artists of all
systems, to absorb and benefit from.
Muay
Thai, translated into English as Thai Boxing, is the national sport of
Thailand and is a martial art with origins in the ancient battlefield
tactics of the Siamese (or Thai) army. It evolved from
Krabi Krabong,
literally sword and baton, the hand-to-hand tactics of the Thai army. The
early Muay Thai bouts pitted different companies within the Siamese army
against each other with few rules and no weight divisions or time limits.
They became quite popular and eventually were shown in stadiums across the
country. In the early 20th century, time limits, boxing gloves as well as
a uniform set of rules were introduced. During the latter half of the 20th
century Muay Thai was exported to many countries and is now practiced by
hundreds of thousands of people all over the world.
 Muay Thai is known as "King of the Ring" in kickboxing circles. These
fights feature punches, kicks, elbows, knees, standing grappling and
head-butts to wear down and knock out their opponent. Thai training
methods develop devastating power, speed and superb cardio-vascular
endurance as well as fighting spirit. Muay Thai training as also quite
safe thanks to sophisticated pad training that evolved to keep fighters
healthy between fights. Muay Thai has also proven very effective outside
the ring and has been embraced enthusiastically by practitioners of a
variety of self-defense, sporting, military and law enforcement
activities.
The Thai Boxing Association of the USA
(TBA-USA), the oldest and largest Muay Thai organization in the United
States, was founded in 1968 by Ajarn Surachai
"Chai" Sirisute. (Ajarn is Thai for head
instructor). Ajarn Chai came to the United States with a vision to spread
Muay Thai to throughout the world, and he is the first-ever Thai boxing
instructor to teach Americans this art and he has worked tirelessly for
more than 30 years to that end. We are indeed grateful to Ajarn Chai for
his gift of the knowledge of Muay Thai.
The TBA-USA now has representation in almost every state in the USA and
has expanded to establish affiliate organizations in more than 15
countries around the world. Ajarn Chai continues to promote Muay Thai
through a busy teaching schedule.
Surachai Sirisute, known to his students as "Ajarn Chai" (Ajarn means head
instructor), is the founder and President of the Thai Boxing Association
of the USA. The son of a prominent Bangkok lawyer, the young Chai Sirisute
was encouraged to follow in his father's footsteps. But Sirisute had a
fascination with Muay Thai and would kick his father's heavy bag whenever
he could. Recalling his own childhood nature Sirisute remembers that he
could be quite a handful for his parents, "After dinner my dad would just
have me go kick the heavy bag to wear me out."
At the age of six he had also acquired the reputation of a hell-raiser and
would taunt the boys in a neighborhood Karate school taught by a Chinese
man, Master Chen, who was to become his first teacher. The young Sirisute
had no use for the uniforms, lines and stances of Karate and proclaimed
loudly that he could best any kid in the school. Master Chen agreed to set
up a sparring match and soon realized that this precocious six year old
was mopping the floor with his 8 and 10 year old students. But Master Chen
was determined to teach the boy a lesson in discipline, so Chen gave a
mind-over-matter demonstration that amazed and frightened the young boy.
Sirisute recalled, "I couldn't believe it. I got so scared. After that I
just shut up and got into line and started throwing punches with the rest
of them." Perhaps it was in Master Chen's class that Sirisute first
learned the value of his now familiar mantra of 'discipline and respect'.
Sirisute's Muay Thai teacher, Ajarn Suwong, made a lasting impression on
him. Ajarn Suwong had had a prophetic dream, and stated flatly when he met
the six year old Sirisute, "This is the champion that will spread Muay
Thai to the falang (to the foreign lands)".
Whether that was Sirisute's fate or an internalized message from a
cherished mentor, that mission became Sirisute's life's work. It remains
one which he has pursued with an almost spiritual zeal.
As a boy Sirisute studied both Muay Thai as well as Karate and earned his
black belt in Shorin at the unprecedented age of 12, an age at which he
also started to fight in the ring in Muay Thai. Sirisute fought over 72
fights in Muay Thai. After he retired as a fighter he came to the United
States in 1968 to teach in America. As he would soon find out American
1960s culture was very different than the Thailand fighting circuit. With
hair mid-way down his back and in rock-solid shape he stepped off the
plane and shortly thereafter wound up at the Woodstock rock concert.
Recalling the wild behavior he saw Sirisute mused, "Man, I thought
Americans were completely crazy". Sirisute by this time had a
well-developed penchant for mischief and somehow managed to befriend and
train a notorious motorcycle gang called The Hell's Angels. "I had no idea
who they were", shrugs Sirisute. That is, until the FBI explained it to
him. Grimacing embarrassedly Sirisute continued, "So, then I trained the
FBI".
Nonetheless, Sirisute had a vision of spreading Muay Thai that he was
determined to pursue. The early years were lean ones during a time in
which public knowledge of Muay Thai was non-existent and hostility from
other martial arts was fierce. He defended almost weekly challenges from
Karate and Kung Fu experts who soon found, to their surprise, that
Sirisute wasn't an easy man to run out of town. In the days before
personal injury lawsuits were common in the U.S. it was standard practice
to smile politely, close the door and beat the tar out of the challenger.
And that was precisely what Ajarn Chai did.
During the 1970s and early 1980s Ajarn Chai taught at several Southern
California colleges: Chaffey College, Claremont Men's College and Cal.
State San Bernardino. Also during those years Ajarn Chai trained students
at his home, the backyard of which was converted into a Thai-style camp.
Many of Ajarn Chai's early fighters, such as Mike Goldbach, Reggie
Jackson, Glen Hernandez and Don Boyd, came out of a backyard training
environment. It was this core of fighters who Ajarn Chai lead to Thailand
in 1982 to enter the first American team to compete in the Muay Thai World
Championships.
Sirisute also fought battles with the martial arts establishment over
fighting procedure, specifically the Wai Kru
("respects to the teacher" dance before a fight),
uniform and use of knees & elbows. "They told me that my fighters couldn't
wear the short pants to fight but had to wear a Gi," growled Sirisute.
Shaking his head, "They used to laugh and ridicule Thai Boxing fighters
when they would do the Wai Kru. But they don't laugh any more because we
always knock 'em out." Thanks in part to the early efforts of Sirisute
Muay Thai fighters no longer have to struggle against this kind of
indifference.
In 1978, Sirisute met a young Filipino-American high school teacher named
Dan Inosanto. Inosanto trained as a student in Ajarn Chai's backyard
during these years and they soon became close friends. Once Ajarn Chai
gave Inosanto the task of kicking the leaves on a tree, then forgot about
him and went shopping, leaving Inosanto to swelter in the LA summer heat.
When Ajarn Chai returned several hours later Inosanto was so exhausted and
dehydrated that he could barely stand up. But he still had his hands up
and was still kicking. Sirisute exclaimed, "Oh my God...I forgot all about
you", and held his sides and let out a piercing falsetto cackle. Actually
Sirisute had not forgotten about Inosanto but was testing Inosanto to see
whether he would keep going and whether he would come back. Inosanto did
come back, and the friendship that grew up between these two men in those
years has served both well over the years. Already well known in the U.S.
Inosanto introduced Sirisute to teaching seminars, which greatly helped
Ajarn Chai extended awareness of Muay Thai in the U.S.A. as well as
internationally.
By the early 1980s word of Muay Thai was spreading fast in the martial
arts community. In 1983 Inosanto introduced Sirisute to Tom Landry of the
Dallas Cowboys. The diminutive 5'5" Sirisute was undaunted when greeted
with skepticism by the players. "I just pointed at him (Tony
Dorsett) and told him to hold the pad for me,"
explained Sirisute. Taken aback at the jackhammer like impact of
Sirisute's right leg on the Thai pad, Dorsett exclaimed, "This guy isn't
human!" The Dallas Cowboys were soon throwing Thai kicks and skip knees,
and the Cowboy's incorporated Ajarn Chai and Muay Thai into their
pre-season conditioning until the time of Landry's departure in 1990. In
fact, all-pro defensive end Randy White is reputed to have developed the
hardest Thai kick ever recorded a stunning 450 lbs. per square inch.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s Sirisute has worked tirelessly to teach
Muay Thai seminars to eager students around the world. The organization he
founded, the Thai Boxing Association of the USA now has more than 70
branches in the USA and has gained representation in almost every USA
state. It has also expanded to 15 countries around the world. And Ajarn
Chai continues on his path of spreading Muay Thai around the world from
his home in Southern California.
