Whenever you do anything, you should commit yourself to the task, and not be slovenly. It’s like when you’re eating, if you don’t focus then you may choke. We grew up with this intention and commitment. When we train in fighting we should also practice with the same focus and commitment.

In the past, as part of temple celebrations, they would erect a ring and hold fights in the temple courtyard. They would raise the ground and put up ropes in a square, with a judge at each corner. To count the round, they would take a coconut shell and drill a hole, then place it in a barrel of water. When the shell is full of water and sinks, the round is over.

The judges would not interfere with the fight, as they respected the fighters and that they knew when to attack, how to lure the opponent, and how long to wai kru.

For example, in a day with five fights, if in the first fight one of the fighters was knocked out, he would be carried out of the ring to rest. The rest of the fighters would then fight until the end of the fifth pair. The first two fighters would then be asked if they would like to fight again, if they approved, then they would fight again.

This meant that a knock out didn’t mean loss. The word lose meant to surrender, so if you woke up still wanted to fight, it meant you could fight. This is how they would fight in the past.

Master Khet was sparring with students of Grand Master Gimseng. Master Gimseng’s students all punched very hard, but this didn’t deter Master Khet who struck and whipped their arms until they were hanging at their sides.

All but Master Gimseng, who waited for Master Khet to strike and then drew back, touching Master Khet on the head saying “do not” each time.

Master Khet said that “Master Gimseng had the footwork of a god.”

Once, during the time when Master Khet Siriyapai was still training in fighting, he

was watching Gran Master Gimseng Taweesit teach his students how to defend against a kick using the palm of his hand. Master Khet was still a teenager, and so he asked Grand Master Gimseng “If I kick as fast as the wind blows, can you still defend it?” Gran Master Gimseng replied by asking “How many footballs have you burst with your kick?”, to which Master Khet replied “I have burst two footballs with my kick.”

Grand Master Gimseng then said “Kick me”. He defended three fast hard kicks from Master Khet, after the third however, Master Khet also threw a punch. Grand Master Gimseng countered this with a palm strike to the chin, dropping Master Khet to the floor. Grand Master Gimseng then asked “The wind has stopped blowing has it?”, to which Master Khet put up his hands and humbly bowed “Yes, the wind has stopped.”

This is part of the history of Grand Master Gimseng and Master Khet before they where student and teacher. Things need to be tested before they are really known.
