For example, Tae Kwon Do relies on leg and snaps techniques for points systems; Karate uses primarily rigid/straight-forward movements; Aikido focuses on circular hand movements not much kicking and western boxing focuses on upper body punch techniques. Judo and other grappling arts teach primarily submissions, throws and ground works which can make you very vulnerable against multi-attackers on the street. Kung-Fu styles emphasize on form and weapons training. While the majority of all Martial Art techniques are MKM Knockout Promotions packages media rich content for global distribution via all available media platforms including pay per view, video on demand, global television networks, mobile download, and live web streaming. MKM Knockout Promotions – Muay Thai & Fighter Promoter Mehrdad Khan Moayedi serves as Chairman of MKM®. He brings over 40 years of Martial Arts and Muay Thai experience to the fight organization, as well as over twenty five years of business management expertise, fight promotion, ringside commentating, fighter managements, and executive TV producer. From the age of four, his family knew he would one day become an avid athlete as he was already quite competitive and developing his own training regimens to make himself superior. As he got older, he built his own sand bag and wrapped his hands to work the heavy bag. As an adult, his training became more intensive and included weights, plyametrics, Ancient Persian Meels, and kettle bells. Much of today’s modern training styles include training methods he used many years ago as he was growing up. During his peaceful reign King Tiger’s love for Muay Thai helped its popularity grow. The skill became a favorite pastime among soldiers and matches were even used to settle national issues. In Thailand, crowds from every walk of life, gathered to see the fights and make wagers. King Tiger’s Champions were so revered, that they were handsomely rewarded with prestigious military titles. However, the largest reward to any fighter was, simply, the honor of winning. The Mongkon or Mangala is the traditional head band which is always worn by Muay Thai fighters . The Mongkon, or Muay Thai Head Ring, is a sacred object which the Master has ceremoniously blessed for the fighter. It is supposed to bring good luck to the fighter. Ancient warriors and fighters used to wear the Mongkons before any bout of combat because they believed it would bring them good luck and help them win the fight. This is a very old tradition. But it is still practiced by serious Muay Thai fighters today. It is not unlike the traditional bow by martial arts students to their instructors and peers before stepping onto or off the tatami, or mat. And also upon entering and leaving the dojo.
