Flemo Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 10 hours ago, bob smith said: Total overreaction to the situation by the Thai bouncers. They could have killed the Brit who was helpless on the floor. These unhinged Thai males need locking up before they do some serious damage to another patron. Bouncers should be trained to use 'reasonable force' when dealing with violent altercations, not beating someone to a pulp who is already on the floor helpless. Shocking behavior from the Thais once again! Of course Brits would never do anything like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good fighter would destroy your legs and you couldnt walk. This guy in the bar must have been a punk with no real skills. That contradicts what you said a couple of pages back. That he was kicking right? I said he wasn't a Muay Thai fighter and it was obvious the first and only time I watched the video. Muay Thai kicks can be blocked, or avoided, as seen in MMA fights. A good fighter can fake then kick your legs a lot, wearing you down, so you try to avoid his kicks, keep your distance, then hit when you can. Many variables in fights. Some good kickers get pummeled, some good kickers wear others down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MangoKorat Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 3 minutes ago, fredwiggy said: I don't like to disagree, but I know martial arts well, but Muay Thai fighters can handle themselves. What came at you wasn't a Muay Thai fighter, as they're not known to pick fights, just like boxers back in the US. A lot think they know Muay Thai because they see others kicking and think they can do the same with no training. I learned a few arts and I wouldn't start a fight with anyone, because you never know what they can do. Underestimating others is a big mistake, no matter how much you know. I know a few people that have never trained in any gym, but can whoop ass very well. Thanks for your balanced comments. I'm not going to go too far down this road as its getting off topic but - if you know martial arts well, you will also know that the most effective are those that use the power and momentum of the attacker against them. For example grabbing the punching fist when almost at full stretch, pull down, shoulder stop, roll and throw. You should know that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no better or worse, no path or purpose, and nothing that has to be achieved. All appearance is source. All that apparently manifests in the hypnotic dream of separation – the world, the life story, the search for home, is one appearing as two, the nothing appearing as everything, the absolute appearing as the particular. There is no separate intelligence weaving a destiny and no choice functioning at any level. Nothing is happening but this, as it is, invites the apparent seeker to rediscover that which is . . . the abiding, uncaused, unchanging, impersonal silence from which unconditional love overflows and celebrates. It is the wonderful mystery. Come on man, do you English? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CartagenaWarlock Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 9 hours ago, 2long said: There are two sides to every story. - Possibly drunk Brits abroad entering a bar soon before it's due to close. - Asked to leave. - Gave some lip and a slap to Thai bouncers. - Thai bouncers overreact, because #1 they love to do stuff like this, especially when feeling safe in the numbers #2 they're not 'trained' as Bob might hope they would be... this is Thailand and they don't get paid much, so who would pay for any 'training'? The rule is, do not ever challenge Thai men in cases like this, ESPECIALLY if they're in uniform, at work, and you may have had a few drinks. Just never do it, because you can't win. A real man should have brains as well as muscles. I like how one girl politely lifted up the chair and put in place. Kudos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PingRoundTheWorld Posted August 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2023 9 hours ago, fredwiggy said: That's a common thing here, as most don't have a clue how to fight and have to kick, flail with their punches and have more than 2 helpers doing the same thing. Hire someone who actually knows what being a bouncer means. They're fighting two men who are twice their size. How do you suggest they subdue them other then over use of force and numbers? To expect large trained bouncers in a soi buakhao bar is ridiculous. It doesn't look in the video like the bouncers attacked them unprovoked nor brutally beaten, just subdued with a few kicks and they walked from it relatively unharmed. Lessons to be learned: 1. Drink in better areas. 2. Don't be an obnoxious tourist who thinks they own the place. 3. Whatever you do - don't slap a security guard (or any Thai man) - good way to get yourself in hospital or worse... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As reported by that fine bastion of journalism, the daily mail: "The 37-year-old said: 'The bouncer became aggressive with me and I said 'do you want to fight me?'. He started fighting me. I came outside and he pushed me to the ground and my shoe came off. 'I stood up and my shoe came off. I stood up and said 'sorry, sorry' and I gave him 2,000 Baht. Everything was OK.'"

J Branche Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Wow 14 pages of replies. I viewed it as big foreigner was asked to leave a private establishment. Possibly after too many drinks he felt the need to challenge security, Not management. Foreigner maybe unaware of Thai culture and customs did this in front of his co-workers and the public along the road. This causes Security to lose some face, maybe felt disrespected, threatened by the size of the two men that when struck over reacted as did the foreigner. You are a guest in a foreign country and want others to think this is how people in your country behave when being told No. My advice is mandatory counseling session for both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tongjaw Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 1 hour ago, fredwiggy said: It's always a good idea to read all of the posts before you comment. I've been in the gym business for 50 years, training, plus personal training for almost 20, including gyms with martial arts, before I moved here. Roadhouse was mentioned because that is a little like bouncers act back in the states. You do your job, get the people calmed down, restrained if necessary, and ask them to leave. if they don't leave, you subdue them, bring them outside and repeat the request. if they refuse, you call the police. Please don't lump me in with what many think all farangs here are, fat, lazy, bald, too old etc. Some of us don't spend their retirement on a couch. I’m sure I sat next to you one time in a bar. Your friends were ex special forces and SAS ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
