Why did Muay Thai King challenge Shaolin Temple?

Recently, the quiet China Wulin suddenly became lively. Five Thai boxing champions from foreign countries want to "kick the gym at home" and jointly challenge China Wushu, with a tough tone. The King of Muay Thai clamored to kill Master China, but Shaolin Temple refused to accept it. According to media reports, all the top five boxing champions in Thailand were dispatched, and the initial motivation was to "destroy Shaolin". They all said that they wanted to have a fight with Shaolin abbot Shi Yongxin most. Boxing champion Kaoklai once boasted that Shaolin Wushu has a long tradition in China, but compared with Muay Thai, Shaolin Wushu is just a piece of cake.

Recently, the Thai media announced that five powerful "King of Thai Boxing", such as "God's Eye Killing", "Ghost Seeing Knee", "Magic Cone", "fist fight Style" and "Slaughtering Dragon Elbow", will form a group to challenge the martial arts circle in China under the leadership of Thai Professional Thai Muay Thai Association. According to the official introduction of Thai Professional Muay Thai Association, these five Muay Thai kings represent the highest strength of Muay Thai in the world today, and they have nearly 1,000 competitions. Compared with their experience, the champions are also extremely arrogant, claiming that "if China fights" and "we have recently seen the so-called Chinese Wushu professional league, which is really bad!" Claiming that "if China accepts this challenge, Muay Thai will definitely beat China Kung Fu 5-0".

According to the official introduction of Thai Professional Muay Thai Association, these five Muay Thai fighters represent the highest strength of today's Muay Thai. They have nearly 1000 games in total. Kaoklai, who is known as "slaying the dragon's elbow", is an 80kg player. In July this year, he participated in the "forbidden kingdom of the World" competition held in Guangzhou, China, but was defeated. However, when it comes to failure, Kaoklai is unconvinced and says that the rules of the game are unfair. "The best weapons of Muay Thai are elbows and knees, but these attacks are limited. This is equivalent to having a master archer and an archer in an archery competition. Can you imagine?

In 2009, China Kung Fu Against Professional Muay Thai Championship will be held in February 2009 in Foshan, the hometown of Bruce Lee and Huang Feihong. The news released by China Kung Fu to the Organizing Committee of the Professional Muay Thai Championship the day before yesterday means that China Kung Fu has finally accepted the challenge after the five kings of Muay Thai participated in the competition. The Five Kings of Muay Thai who participated in this challenge expressed their heartfelt admiration for the spirit of China Wushu colleagues who dared to accept the challenge. But when I went to China, I wanted to challenge Shi Yongxin, the host of Shaolin. Thai boxing champion Kaoklai said that Shaolin Wushu has a long tradition in China, but compared with Thai boxing, it is just a piece of cake. This time, the five boxing champions were dispatched by the whole regiment, and the initial motivation was to "destroy Shaolin." A reporter asked if the idea of "destroying Shaolin" was too confident. Champion Kaoklai waved his right fist: "Tell Shi Yongxin to speak in the ring."

According to local media reports in Thailand, after hearing that the venue of the China Challenge will be Foshan, Guangdong, the Five Kings of Muay Thai said that they originally wanted to go to Shaolin Temple in China to challenge. "However, according to our friends in China, many temples in China have been developed by unscrupulous businessmen as tools to make money from people and believers. In particular, Shaolin Temple, which is known as Kung Fu, originally wanted to tell them not to deceive Buddhist believers with so-called Kung Fu. Zheng Shumin, the official spokesman of Shaolin Temple, gave the reason: "Shaolin Temple, as the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism, will not dance with people in society. In the history of Shaolin Temple, Shaolin monks never took the initiative to fight with others and never accepted the challenge of society. Shaolin monks pay attention to meditation, and the highest level of learning martial arts is Xiu De's self-cultivation. "

This reason seems very reasonable. The problem is that Shaolin Temple, a Buddhist holy place, has been hyped up to the sky in recent years. Various Shaolin Temple monk groups and even the whole world perform to make money. The core value of Shaolin Temple brand is "authentic Wulin". Now people from the Wulin in Southeast Asia come to the door to challenge, and it is a shame that Shaolin Temple should avoid it.

Even if Shaolin Temple pays attention to meditation, the problem is that over the years, Shaolin Temple has become more and more brilliant, but there is no Zen master. Although Shi Yongxin has many titles, there are few well-known Zen works. I'm afraid Shi Yongxin, whose mind is full of fat, has only business opportunities left in his heart, and there is no room for meditation.

The Shaolin Temple monks who are full of Zhao Gongming's thought of God of Wealth can't beat the monks in Taiwan Province in meditation, and their martial arts can only be performed. Maybe it has always been an exhibit. How does it cope with the challenge of the fierce Muay Thai champion?

Now, the challenge of Muay Thai King has been accepted by Chinese Wushu Association. What should I do if the players organized by Wushu Association fail? At that time, if all the people in China were eagerly looking at Shaolin Temple, hoping that the monks in Shaolin Temple would come forward to save face, could Shaolin Temple continue to avoid it? If Shi Yongxin finally has to go out, can the most famous monk in China defeat the Muay Thai King?
