WHAT IS YOUR CURRNET DAILY ACTIVITY?
I am concentrating solely on studying Muay Cahiya.

HOW DID YOU FIND ABOUT MUAYCHAIYA?
I was searched through the internet for a place to learn Muay Boran(Traditional Muay Thai ) in Thailand.Initially I was interested in Krabi Krabong (The art of sword and fighting ).However, when I found that there was also Muay ,I became very interested in coming to study.I really love the art ,especially like the grappling and breaking techniques.

WHAT ARE YOUR IMPRESSIONS UPON SEEING MUAYCHAIYA FOR THE FIRST TIME?
I was really interested .When I saw first the art ,I became very curious - I wondered,"How could they do that?" and "How do they fight?"At that time when I was captivated.

ON THE FIRST DAY WHICH YOU STUDIED MUAY ,HOW DO YOU FEEL.
I was a bit confused.Very confused.At that time I have very wondered," Why do we have to do this?" and "Why do we have to practice such strange forms?" I was quite perplexed.

WHAT ABOUT NOW ?HOW DO YOU FEEL?
Well ,I feel that I understand things a bit more .Now I understand the reasons for practicing those "strange" forms. I really liked the art and very happy to be learning it I understand now why we have to practice the basic forms.

WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE'S PLANS?
Currently ,very few people in Korea known about Muay Boran I am would liked to disseminate Muaychaiya in Korea.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT MUAYCHAIYA?
It is fun.Very fun .But,there are times when I feel discouraged as I still have to practice so much more in order to be able to apply it .On the surface,the art seems simple.But,when you try to do it ,it is not easy at all. You really have to try hard.
