COVER STORY

FIGHTING ART 泰拳——搏击的艺术

Muay Thai has been a part of Thai history and heritage for hundreds of years, as with most traditions from ancient times. Many different versions of the history of Muay Thai exist, but all sources agree that Muay Thai was the primary and most effective method of self defence used by Thai warriors on the battlefields of conflicts and wars that occurred countless times throughout the history of the nation. During this time, a warfare manual named “Chupasart” was written. This manual emphasised the martial uses of each body part. The underlying philosophy of this manual implied that fighting was more than the use of weapons, but most importantly, should engage total commitment from mind, body and soul. The first known practice of Muay Thai as a “sport” away from the heat and chaos of the battlefield occurred during the reign of King Prachao Sua (1697-1709 A.D.). With a great love of combat art he often fought incognito in local village contests, often beating the local champions. When the nation was at peace, to keep the army busy he often ordered them to train in Muay Thai. It was from this that loosely organised competitions started sprouting up around the country. In 1774, the legendary Nai Khanom Tom made Muay Thai famous for his battle against a group of Burmese while he was a prisoner of war in Burma. He was captured when the Burmese ransacked and burnt Thailand’s ancient capital Ayuddhaya. He legendarily defeated ten of Burma’s best boxers when, without pause, he took them on one by one through a battering and bruising contest. He illustrated one of the most favourable elements in Muay Thai, an indomitable

will to win for honour and willingness to face any odds. This can be summarised as: “Nothing can stand against you except yourself”. The army has fostered Muay Thai. Soldiers have trained and used Muay Thai techniques for as long as there has been an army in Thailand. For the military, it has always had use for the close combat fighting skills, the martial art of the battlefield. When a Thai soldier fights hand to hand he uses Muay Thai. But then so does every Thai person, male or female. Watching it, learning it, and copying it is a part of Thai childhood. Muay Thai soon became a favourite sporting pastime for people from all walks of life, with training camps being established all over the country. In the early 1930s, Muay Thai was officially codified, with rules and regulations being created and introduced into the sporting world, to make Muay Thai an international sport of the early 20th century and a safe ring sport. Round contests were introduced along with eight divisions based on international boxing. Queensbury rules boxing gloves replaced the rope bindings on the fighters’ hands. With a centuries long history, Muay Thai has progressed and is now recognised in many countries worldwide, creating a new era of a proud world history. In recent years Muay Thai, both amateur and professional, has swept across the world like wildfire and developed into a premier ring sport – a fighting art with no equal in terms of unarmed combat and spectator appeal, as well as being a form of self defence and a fitness programme. 9

PROTECTION AND TRADITION Before starting the fight, fighters are adorned with a headpiece called a mongkol and armbands called prajioud. Both the mongkol and prajioud are blessed by Buddhist monks and are believed to bestow the wearer with victory and protection in the ring. Traditionally, the mongkol is never to be touched by the fighter and handled only by his coach (kru). The mongkol is also never allowed to come near or touch the ground, as it is believed doing so will cause it to lose its blessing. This is the reason all fighters will enter the ring by going over the ropes, never underneath. After the wai kru is performed, the coach will remove the mongkol while praying with the fighter before the bout commences. Unlike the mongkol, the armbands may stay on the fighter while fighting. Upon entering the ring the fighter will first “seal” the ring to block out any outside negative forces before commencing an important ceremony call the “Wai Kru” ceremony. To do this the fighter will circle the ring counterclockwise and pray for a short time in each corner. While transitioning from corners, the right hand always remains in contact with the rope with the left hand raised to the fighter’s face. Once the ring is sealed, the wai kru begins. The wai kru rituals has a deep meaning for Muay Thai practitioners and is performed by fighters in order to pay homage to their teachers and family and to bless themselves with victory in the ring. This ceremony sometimes take up to five minutes to perform. Each fighter’s wai kru is unique to their training camp and has been passed to them by their teachers. Over time, fighters will slighty modify their wai kru by incorporating different techniques in order to personalize the ritual. Some of these techniques include stomping in front of their opponent’s corner or imitating shooting arrows at the opponent’s corner. Both actions are seen as a show of confidence, challenge and intimidation. After the Wai Kru ceremony is done, the fight can start. Muay Thai is often called “The Art of Eight Contact Points” because it uses the feet, legs, knees, elbows and fists in stand-up striking thus employing “eight points of contact” as compared to “two points” in boxing and “four points” (hands and feet) in kick-boxing. Over the last decade there has been a surge in interest with the rise of popular culture from Thai martial art action films like “Tom Yum Goong” (2005), “Raging Phoenix (2009) and “Mortal Kombat” (2011). Normally, a Muay Thai match has no more than 5 rounds, each round lasts 3 minutes, with a two-minute rest period in between. No additional rounds are allowed. Boxers must wear gloves, each weighing not less than 6 ounces (172 gram). In Thailand, Muay Thai is both a defence martial art and a national sport. It has always been a part of Thai peoples’ lives and they can watch live matches every week end on Thai TV programs or by going to a stadium to cheer their favourite boxers.

泰拳——搏击的艺术泰拳是泰国延续数百年的历史文化遗产的一部分。虽然其来源存在着许多不同版本，但普遍都认为泰拳是泰国战士在战场上最主要且最有效的自我防护手段。在1774年，传奇人物 Nai Khanom Tom 因其在泰缅战争中做战俘期间使用泰拳对抗一群缅甸战士而使得泰拳得以闻名。他传奇地击败了十位缅甸最好的拳手，途中没有任何停顿，在激烈的比赛中将们依次打到。在1930年代的早期，泰拳被正式地制定了规章制度，并最终引入到了体育世界。根据国际拳击泰拳比赛融合了八种格斗技艺。

SEE THE FIGHT! WHERE TO GO? Seeing a Muay Thai fight is usually on the to-do list of everyone who visits Thailand, and Chiang Mai has a few venues to go to. A convenient venue for visitors is the Thapae Boxing Stadium, right behind Thapae Gate on Moon Muang Road. Because of its central location there are many foreign tourists there. Look for a tout on the sidewalk to point the way, or let the noise coming from the back guide you. Admission is about 500 Baht. Fights are Thai on Thai or Thai on Westerner, and can be quite exciting. For those who are inclined to find the most “realistic” fighting venue, it is necessary to hop in a tuk-tuk and go across the river to the old Kawila Boxing Stadium. This place gets less press but is really authentic, this is where Thai people go. Price is about 500 Baht per person with a chance to pay more for ringside seats. 观看一场泰拳格斗比赛通常是在人们来泰国旅行的必做清单里。在清迈，一个热门而便捷的观看场地便是塔佩拳击体育场 (Thapae Boxing Stadium)，它就坐落在塔佩门后面的Moon Muang Road。观看费用约为500泰铢，比赛可能是两个泰国人，也可能是泰国人和西方人之间的对战。无论如何，都是极其令人兴奋的体验。对于那些倾向于找到最“真实”战斗场地的人们，需要乘坐tuk-tuk车跨河去到古老的卡维拉拳击体育场 (Kawila Boxing Stadium) 。这个地方很少有新闻，但很真实，是泰国当地人会去的场所。价格约为每人500泰铢，如果支付更多还有机会坐在最佳内环席位。

STADIUMS AND SCHOOLS IN CHIANG MAI To learn Muay Thai is to learn about its roots and its purpose, and there’s nowhere better to do that than in its homeland. Muay Thai is an art anyone can learn: men, women, young or old. In Chiang Mai there are many famous schools at which to learn and practice. 学习泰拳需了解其根源与目的，而且没有哪里比泰国这个泰拳的发源地更棒的学习地了。在清迈，就有许多著名的泰拳学校，让您得到全面的学习和实践。

近40多年来环境问题一直是大家关心的至关重要的议题，而在 21世纪它们更变得亟待得到解决。这也是为什么“生态主义” (Ecoism) 的核心目的就是说服社会共同保护我们的环境。 “生态主义”(Ecoism)成立于2006年，致力于提供创造性的服务与先进性的绿色产品。品牌的新门店就位于塔佩路(Thapae road)，主要供应各种环保产品，例如：功能袋、钱包、围巾，精心制作的配件。这些产品都是由回收材料比如内胎、自行车零件、回收棉、莎草和麻等制成。商店的工作车间就在二楼。 “生态主义” (Ecoism)通过熔化饮料容器来回收塑料，并将它们再制作成袋子和纸巾盒。他们也将内胎和废皮革转变成为城市生活所需的可循环使用的袋子及配件。他们的设计师还创造出了简约舒适的棉质衣服，其原料都是天然染料制成的有机棉面料。 “生态主义”(Ecoism) 的产品皆是利用回收产品制作而成，有助于减少新材料的需求和废物产生的数量。这样的好点子，是由充满激情想要创造更美好世界的一群年轻人想出来的。让我们去参观下他们的商店，共同探索下他们思想的奥妙。

PHOTO EXPO

Grand mĂŠre Lahu

Enfant Lahu

Jeunes Femmes Lahu

Amoureux des grands espaces et de nature, Michel-Angéla a découvert le nord de la Thaïlande il y a une dizaine d’années. Depuis, il n’a de cesse de venir s’y ressourcer et de s’adonner à sa véritable passion : la photographie. Pour Chang Puak Magazine, il a accepté de faire une pause et de nous présenter une partie de sa collection : des paysages et des portraits qui nous permettent de voyager avec lui, dans les montagnes qui bordent Chiang Mai, à la découverte des ethnies Hmong, Lahu et Karen. - Pourquoi avoir choisi la Thaïlande? J’aime les montagnes et la nature thailandaise. La vraie nature, celle qui est sauvage et loin de tout. Lorsque je suis à Chiang Mai je n’habite pas en ville et je m’y rends que très rarement. Je préfère m’armer de mon appareil photo et partir à moto à la découverte des peuples du nord. Mes origines Bretonnes m’ont toujours poussées à vivre dans de grands espaces. Il y a longtemps, j’ai quitté Paris pour retrouver le calme et la tranquillité des côtes Bretonnes. En Thaïlande c’est dans la campagne de Doi Saket que je viens faire un break chaque année, avant de reprendre ma route et mes responsabilités sur les marchés de France. - Comment vous est venue cette passion de la photographie? Je suis autodidacte et mais les échanges entre les peuples du nord m’a toujours inspirée. Grâce à mon appareil photo je peux immortaliser ces rencontres humaines. - Pourquoi vos photos sont-elles en noir et blanc? Pour moi, le noir et blanc des portraits a bien plus d’impact. Les images sont plus fortes plus poignantes et l’imaginaire des gens travaille d’avantage. - Désirez-vous exposer un jour vos photos? Pourquoi pas ? Je n’y ai pas encore vraiment pensé. Par contre, j’ai ouvert un site internet sur lequel je présente une grande partie de mon travail. Avec ce site mes deux passions sont réunies : la Thaïlande et la photographie.
