    Hi there, i am a super big fan of your work. I have been studying this for quite some time now. I am a malaysian and i have been practicing muay boran on and off for 3-4 years now. I have a kru from Bangkok and his name is kru suphan. i learn from him alot about muay boran.

    So now i am compiling all these data for muay boran and try to convert them into chinese. however i can not find any info about Cherng Technique. If you have heard before, which i believe for sure you do, the Cherng technique. for example, in cherng mahd, first one is Kah jit kai = bird pecks to eggs? ( not very sure )

    I am now looking for cherng techniques translation, for cherng mahd, cherng tao, cherng khao and cherng sawk.

    Do you think you have such knowledge that i can learn from you about all these techniques translations?

    I really hope this message can reach to you, and i hope we can build something from here too. As a lover for this art, i really hope we can build more content for it for more people to know.

    Thanks
    Fei
