Mr. Miller's Class Today

Creative writing today was probably the most riveting class I've ever had as a student here at Bradshaw. Mr. Miller taught it so well and gave us so many pieces of valuable information that I felt like a new man walking out his door. I can pretty much answer any question you have about life now. He unlocked the door in my brain to nirvana and I now see the World in a new light. Everything makes sense, nothing is bound by time, and everything has an answer. In fact for the first time in my life, thanks to Mr. Miller, I feel ready for college. I don't have to read any textbooks anymore...I am the textbook. It's like a cloud opened up from the heavens and said, "Josh, stand up and walk." I'm no longer the lame man I was, I have legs and they were made for walking. I realized that everything in creative writing, is more than mere techniques to write creatively, it is life and what it stands for. I am ready to move into the World, and can't wait to leave his class everyday into a World of peace and light. 

Muay Thai: A Unique Art

The origins of Muay Thai was in the Chaiya district in Surat Thani province,Thailand. Today's modern Muay Thai evolved from various styles of fighting from different parts of Thailand, for example Muay Lop Buri, Muay Phra Nakhon, Muay Korat, and of course Muay Chaiya.

While modern Muay Thai is considerably different from what it used to be because of its development into a sport, Muay Thai involves a unique fighting style. The philosophy and movements of Muay Thai are also really different. 

There are two important unique philosophies of Muay Thai. Firstly, protection. Thai boxers give more importance to covering themselves up and never giving an opponent the chance to hit them. Secondly, the use of the opponent's force to strike back. Instead of using your own force, Muay Thai boxers are taught to make good use of the opponent's movement by knowing exactly where their weak spots are. For example, if they are kicking hard, plunge an elbow in their thigh, which makes them hurt themselves more the harder they kick. 

Today there are thousands of gyms across the World teaching the specific and unique style of Muy Thai. Although most probably have a different approach of teaching this diverse art, the basics still lie in each style. Muay Thai has had a deep rooted and special past, but its legend lives on today as one of the most popular martial art.
