China’s Shaolin Temple is renowned as the birthplace of kung fu, and warrior monks have been training there for thousands of years as a way to cultivate both their spiritual and practical fighting skills. Now I do CrossFit workouts pretty regularly and I’m decently fit but recently I thought it would be interesting to see what it would be like to instead train and live like a Shaolin warrior monk.
Now fortunately there is actually a real-life 34th generation Shaolin monk who runs his own temple only a few blocks away from my apartment in NYC. According to his Wikipedia page he can break rocks with his skull, deflect blades with his skin, and sleep while hanging upside down from a tree branch. I’ve met him before and I can tell you he’s the real deal. So I decided to spend a week with him learning the ways of the Shaolin warrior monks.

warrior monks 在 Tiger Muay Thai and MMA Training Camp, Phuket, Thailand Youtube 的最佳貼文
Tiger Muay Thai celebrates Thailands National holiday "Muay Thai Day" in honor of Nai Khanomtom & the sport of Muay Thai. Buddhist Monks from Wat Chalong bless the new training area with a special ceremony with Trainer, Fighters, and guest at Tiger Muay Thai & MMA Training Camp, Phuket, Thailand, following the blessing Guests and trainers get together to eat free Thai food in honor of the holiday and new Training Area. WHAT IS MUAY THAI DAY?
March 17 is celebrated asBoxers Day or National Muay Thai Day. This is the day that Nak Muays honor the memory and achievements of Nai Khanomtom. Nai Khanom Tom, a warrior from Thailands ancient capital, was captured after the Burmese sacked the city in 1767. His fighting style intrigued the Burmese king, who demanded a tournament pitting his own countrys combatants against the Thai warriors.
Muay Boran
According to legend, Nai Khanom Tom dazzled his first opponent with a pre-fight ritual called Ram Muay, a ceremonial dance honoring his teachers and mentors. Then he proceeded to pummel him, scoring a quick knockout. But the Burmese fighter cried BS, claiming Nai Khanom Thoms pre-fight dance distracted him.
The Burmese king knew how to settle this dispute: If Nai Khanom Thom could defeat nine more consecutive opponents, he would then prove the superiority of his fighting style, earning his freedom as a bonus. Nai Khanom Tom took on fighter after fighter, dishing out abuse, until finally none stood in his way. He earned his freedom †a feat celebrated every March 17 as Boxers Day or National Muay Thai Day in his native country.
Every time you practice Muay Thai every time you strike a bag with your elbow or throw a thunderous roundhouse kick, you honor Nai Khanom Toms memory and achievement, whether you know it or not.
So this weekend when your training realize that you are part of this history, that youre carrying forth the skills and traditions to keep Muay alive. Think of him and know that with each kick you honor his memory.
Happy Muay Thai Day. http://www.Tigermuaythai.com
