I had made a prior video with my disciple Aaron Manning showing various stretches. Here I am making another video as a reminder also in case anything was forgotten, plus I am showing a few standing stretches at the end. Remember each stretch must be held a minimal of 30 seconds. I am going through every stretch very fast for demonstration purposes only. If you hold each stretch for 30 seconds you will end up stretching for a minimal of 20 minutes. If you want to become more flexible do multiple sets for each stretch that you feel you need work on.

Muay Thai Chaiya is a fascinating fighting system deeply rooted in the martial traditions of ancient Thailand. Host, Brooklyn Monk, Antonio Graceffo studies with Kru Lek, one of Thailands leading practitioners of this effective art. Chaiya uses a low stance, bare knuckles, elbows and knees out, like a prickly pineapple waiting to impale the opponent when he moves in. the movement and position of the Chaiya fighter is so different from any other stand up fighting art that it completely takes the opponent out of his game. Antonio was barely able to do anything against a Chaiya student who had only six months of experience. The bulk of Kru Leks students are normal people who practice for fun, culture, and fitness. But some chose to fight in the professional Muay Thai ring, and they do extremely well. Unlike sport Muay Thai, Chaiya is taught from the ground up, similar to a traditional martial art, such as Karate or Tae Kwan Do. A student could walk in off the street, with previous martial arts experience and begin learning the basics from an instructor.

In Taipei, Taiwan, host, Antonio Graceffo meets Sifu Gordon at Evolution Combat where he gets a lesson in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). The interesting thing about MMA in Taiwan is that many of the practitioners have a background in Wing Chun or Chinese martial arts, as well as wrestling, Sambo, or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. As a result, the art and the fighting have a different look than MMA in other places. Some of Gordons throws even come from Tai Chi. Particularly, the stand up fighting is different, because in addition to Muay Thai you will see spinning kicks, straight kicks, karate and kung fu kicks.
