It is also notable that in this theory "colonization" occurs (expansion into vacated possibilities) as "reorganization" moves into "growth". This matches up somewhat with the colonization of Muay Thai by farang forces (including ONE and farang-focused Soft Power, an includes farang style gyms, and farang style training methods, farang fight promotion, etc), after a relative "collapse" of Muay Thai (release) through COVID lockdowns (and accusations). The "preservation" dimension, the recovery of past capacities, perceptions and know-hows, would occur through slower time scale adaptive cycles in this theory, because adaptive cycles are always nested. -

Just a placeholding footnote here. I've been studying Panarchy Resilience Theory (one of the better articles attached) "Resilience of Past Landscapes: Resilience Theory, Society, and the Longue Durée" Author(s): Charles L. Redman and Ann P. Kinzig Stable URL: https://www.jstor.org/stable/26271922 Resilience of Past Landscapes - Resilience Theory, Society, and the Longue Durée.pdf ...a theory first developed in the study and preservation of ecological systems, and then extended to archeology's study of the preservation and collapse of civilizations, in an attempt to formulate a stronger theoretically concept of the preservation (or just stabilization) of Thailand's Muay Thai. It argues that adaptive systems move in 4 phases, named here below: I've elaborated them overlaying other amenable philosophical terms and concepts. The aim is to build a concept in which conservation is only a phase, part in a series of adaptive responses, including phases of collapse. -

To the above I would add, this is the enormous difference between transmitting the form of the ring sport, that is the living practices of (actual) training and (actual) fighting, including so much of its embedded social context...and simply trying to transmit its "techniques", as if a dead script of a forgotten language. The more we move towards the transmission of "techniques", the more we are heading towards the ossification (and likely ideologically, and unrealistically imbued "construction") of an art. Not "techniques".

Hi all, Does anyone know of any suppliers for blanks (Plain items to design and print a logo on) that are a good quality? Or put me in the right direction? thanks all -
The first fight between Poot Lorlek and Posai Sittiboonlert was recently uploaded to youtube. Posai is one of the earliest great Muay Khao fighters and influential to Dieselnoi, but there's very little footage of him. Poot is one of the GOATs and one of Posai's best wins, it's really cool to see how Posai's style looked against another elite fighter. -

Yeah, this is certainly possible. Thanks! I just like the idea of a training camp pre-fight because of focus and getting more "locked in".. Do you know of any high level gyms in europe you would recommend? -
You could just pick a high-level gym in a European city, just live and train there for however long you want (a month?). Lots of gyms have morning and evening classes. -

Hi, i have a general question concerning Muay-Thai training camps, are there any serious ones in Europe at all? I know there are some for kickboxing in the Netherlands, but that's not interesting to me or what i aim for. I have found some regarding Muay-Thai in google searches, but what iv'e found seem to be only "retreats" with Muay-Thai on a level compareable to fitness-boxing, yoga or mindfullness.. So what i look for, but can't seem to find anywhere, are camps similar to those in Thailand. Grueling, high-intensity workouts with trainers who have actually fought and don't just do this as a hobby/fitness regime. A place where you can actually grow, improve technique and build strength and gas-tank with high intensity, not a vacation... No hate whatsoever to those who do fitness-boxing and attend retreats like these, i just find it VERY ODD that there ain't any training camps like those in Thailand out there, or perhaps i haven't looked good enough?.. Appericiate all responses, thank you!
