I think we all know who Tony Ja is. He is the greatest actor from Ong-Bak and Tom Yum Kung and the most famous Muay Thai artist right now and is directing his own action movie in theater soon this year. The VDO today is all about his moves; kicks, punches and knee strikes. It’s one of real shity vids of him. After seeing this you will say that some of those flip kicks are IMPOSSIBLE to do, but Tony Ja did it!
Whoever watches this will definitely want to see more. Too bad the Tom Yum Kung and Ong-Bak in the US cut off pretty much all the good parts. Some of you might have seen this in Uncut Thai version films already. But here’s for those who haven’t seen it. Take a look!

Hey and for those of you who think he sucks and want to put him in a real fight. Give him a break! You gotta understand that he is an Actor not a Boxer, just like Jackie Chan, Jet Li or Bruce Lee. So I can’t guarantee that he’ll win in a real fight. But you gotta admit that his moves do look stunning and great in movie marketing.
The moves he shows are for performance ok? In real fights, all opponents have learnt how to block those sick strikes. And besides, many of those are forbidden in the ring because they are too dangerous for being a sport. Those moves were long ago created for battle field not in a ring and you have to be really great and skilled to use them effectively. Cuz if you’re fronted with another skilled fighter, a move like a deadly flying knee strike might not help you win.
Anyway, I believe he is a role-model for the kids and lots of people. His performance does inspire others to learn more about Muay Thai and other type of Martial Arts.
