Thai Kick defense

[Ghost]

Two qualities which i feel are missing from the fight game in the west in general are Respect and Honour,the very two things that are shown in Thailand rings all the time.

Too many people with big egos in the uk i think, seen some good instances of respect though. but yeah its lacking for sure.

And what exactly is meant by that?

Yes it is great!,my teacher used to say(when i promoted) that i should put the opponents in the same room as each other overnight,they should breakfast together etc,get to know each other a bit,mutual respect can be gained which which could make for a great fight.

That's a nice thing to do and it works. I am not a fighter, but when I
sparred and fought at my old gym it was kind of cool to talk with the opponent before and after a fight (many of us didn't meet during training sessions because of different training hours) and watch the others going at it before us.

So yes I think that what your teacher said does make sense to me and I think it would work out in most occasions.
