This is very interesting. I believe this theory is the case for most Southeast Asian martial arts as well. People tend to vastly overestimate the prevalence of unarmed confrontations back then, mainly because they are thinking in terms of how confrontations happen now.
We can also see these same guards in the first Fechtbuch ms I33 with sword and buckler. Always funny when people say that "fist fighting" is not in the medieval manuscripts. When you make the same strikes and guards without the weapons, you have an effective unarmed striking art. The man who were experts in using these shields, wether a buckler or a strapped shield were also experts in unarmed striking, i bet you. Great Video
Boxing allegedly is supposed to have evolved from French fencing. Before modern boxing was known as such, it was called English boxing and priory as chancery pugilism.
Interestingly, Pankration and Muay Boran have a lot in common. Both arts have been influenced by weapon kinesiology. In Muay Boran there are many hammer punches, forearm strikes and chambering positions identical to the strikes of Pankration, even some Stances and standing wrestling techniques are very similar, identical at times. It is very interesting to see how two similar arts were born from two distant and completely different nations, in the end the human body is always the same. I really like your work here, keep it up!
Personally I have found so many similarities that I wouldn't doubt that Muay Thai/ Boran somehow was influenced by the Greek incursions into India. Allegedly there's kickboxing style similar to Muay Thai in India, that dates back to the time of the Greek invasions.
@GaawutProductions Otherwise, the term Pankration and the term Lerdrit have a similar meaning. The term Pankration is derived from the ancient Greek words "Pan", which means "All", and the word "Kratos", which means "Power". The term Lerdrit is a coinage of two Thai words, namely "Leert", which means "Superior", and the words "Rit", which means "Colossal Power". This means that the terms "Pankration" and "Lerdrit" essentially have the same meaning. How the coincidences match up.
@@branip9414 Yes, but Lertrit was just the surname of the founder, Wisit Lertrit, the navy that mixed Japanese martial arts with Muay Korat to create Muay Lertrit. So it is just a coincidence.
