Modern Muay Thai is nothing like what it was when it first originated. It has been heavily influenced by the west. Of course, every single modern martial art has been influenced by other martial arts. There are no pure styles.
I don't see any quote about college level karate, and I never refer to Noguchi as fighter in this thread.
You are quoting an interview in Japanese, the language you don't understand and at mercy of google translation.
You already mistranslated it multiple times already, and I will repeat again that I don't see any talk about Sawamura being
college level karateka who is not good enough to join all Japan in that video.
What does that say? Please, translate that for me, because that right there contains Sawamura's karate experience.沢村:法政一高、日大へと進学した私は、子供の頃からストリートファイトを含め、一度も負けたことはありません。日大3年で全日本学生チャンピオンになり、空手の世界では無敗でした。
Why is Sawamura such a big topic here?
Like I said before, he was a fraud. Master of the scripted knockout.
Much thanks, Harukaze.
Sorry to resurrect a five year old thread, but as a white belt, I can't post my own. And none of the active threads seemed suitable.
Does anyone have any more information on a Thai trainer/fighter named Naront Siri? I stumbled upon his name on Siam Fight Mag's page on Toshio Fujiwara. It states that Kenji Kurosaki brought Naront Siri to Japan to develop kickboxing. A quick Google search only turned up foreign language posts that tell essentially the same story. I'd always thought that early Japanese kickboxing seemed too similar to muay thai than simply karateka fighting under similar rules. This Naront Siri guy might be the missing link.
Yeah, we’ve had a few regulars that have gone awol the last couple years.Harukaze was such a good poster.
