This video is of a traditional sword dance performed for the Loy Kratong festival 1994 at the alte TU Mensa in Berlin in attendance of the Thai ambassador. Thai Sword dances may look aesthetically pleasing and might be considered as traditional folklore, but they are much more than that. The movements of such dances consist of sword fighting techniques. Those dances therefore reveals the performers level of sword fighting skills and are traditionally used to convey a hidden story or message to those who can decipher its meaning. Can you guess what this dance was about? Tell us in the comments! ============================= About Daab: ============================= Unlike Krabi Krabong, Daab was actually used in warfare. Thai swords (DAAB) are worldwide unique and not related to any other sword type. It originally comes from a simple rice trucheon (Gab) or a weed scythe (Gab Gleeh). Such tools were used as improvised weapons against Chinese invaders more than 4000 years ago and were developed into fighting swords over time. Typical for this type of sword fighting is the use of the rather centrally located center of gravity, which allows a high rotation speed and complex movement patterns, as well as the use of the grip end with which blunt strikes can be executed. Authentic Thai sword art is always trained with heavy training weapons made of wood or steel, but never with light rattan or bamboo. The Pahuyuth School in Berlin is the only school in the world where the infamous DAAB NARESUAN (also known as “Sword of Ayutthaya”) is taught. A special one-handed sword style developed and secretly passed on by a paramilitary special unit under the reign of King Naresuan (1590-1605 A.D.) ?

Part 7 in our series about legitimate self-defense according to German law. Here's the original law 'a teacher' refers to: German Criminal Code - Section 32 - Self-defence (1) A person who commits an act in self-defence does not act unlawfully. (2) Self-defence means any defensive action that is necessary to avert an imminent unlawful attack on oneself or another. § 32 StGB - Notwehr (1) Wer eine Tat begeht, die durch Notwehr geboten ist, handelt nicht rechtswidrig. (2) Notwehr ist die Verteidigung, die erforderlich ist, um einen gegenwärtigen rechtswidrigen Angriff von sich oder einem anderen abzuwenden. - - - Please note, that some of the techniques in this video are not 100% suitable for self-defense purposes, depending on the laws of the country you live in. We do not take any responsibility and we are not liable for any damage caused through whatever you are doing. Please remember for a lawful and thus realistic self-defense: 1. Real self-defense begins, when you can not just run away. 2. Real self-defense ends, when an attack is averted. 3. Always stay within the laws of your country! The self-defense method we use in our videos, was derived from PAHUYUTH. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ? PAHUYUTH | Traditional #Martialarts & #Selfdefense ?

Ancient Thai sword dances were not so much about art and aesthetics, but about the fighting techniques they are build upon. Therefore only a teacher can perform such a sword dance and explain the all movements it includes in detail. DAB (Sword) is an armed PAHUYUTH discipline, that deals with the art of sword fighting. DAB and other PAHUYUTH weapon fighting methods were used on ancient battlefields and should not be confused with Krabi Krabong, which was invented much later (under King Rama II, 1767-1824 A.D.) with the clear intention of "entertainment, sport and presentation" in mind. Please note, that this video is not about legitimate self-defense (there is a special section for such topics on our channel), but about traditional Thai sword fighting (DAB), which is taught for preservation of cultural heritage. We do not take any responsibility and we are not liable for any damage caused through whatever you are doing. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ? PAHUYUTH | Traditional #Martialarts & #Selfdefense ?

IMPORTANT: We recommend to BELIEVE NOTHING and QUESTION EVERYTHING you are about to see. The Teacher Memorial Day (Wan Wai Kru) - June 23rd Once a year, on June 23rd, PAHUYUTH people celebrate the so called „Teacher Memorial Day“ (Wan Wai Kru). On this day the teachers of the past, who helped developing, preserving and passing on the fighting knowledge are commemorated. ABOUT In distant past, when fighting knowledge was used to defend the country, many scholars of PAHUYUTH lost their lives. Without these teachers it would have been impossible to pass on the knowledge to the next generations. Therefore this day is dedicated to the historic teachers, who gave their lives in order to ensure, that PAHUYUTH could be passed on until the present day. The six archetypes of PAHUYUTH teachers are: 1. Kru Srietreirat - The creator (Nature, parents, …) 2. Kru Schid - The nearby teacher (the living teacher) 3. Kru Nueg - The teacher of gratitude (own intuition) 4. Kru Tagt - The spontaneous teacher (the advisor) 5. Kru Lag Jam - The thieve teacher (indirect acquired knowledge) 6. Kru Pieh - The spirit teacher (inspiration) On the Teacher Memorial Day the students of PAHUYUTH gather in their schools and share a certain ritual or ceremony to symbolically pay gratitude to the teachers of the past. There is no training, because there is no fighting on that day. The ceremony consists of several things. One of them is wearing bright clothing, white if possible. Also it is tried not to swear or have bad thoughts on that day. Instead it is tried to be be kind and helpful on that day. The ceremony at the school requires three things: Three incense sticks, a white candle and a self-picked plant with pointed blossoms or leafs. In no case, the plants should be bought, but picked by the student on his way to the ceremony - simple grass from the roadside is completely sufficient. When the student arrives he or she puts the plant, the incense sticks and the candle to a designated place and pays gratitude to the teachers of the past in his own way. After that her or she greets the other attendees. The teacher of the school usually takes part in this ceremony as a student and tells something about this days custom and its details. Under certain circumstances it may happen, that one of the students suddenly acts as medium and gives additional advice and information to the students. The ceremony ends with a casual get together. For students who take part in the Teacher Memorial Day for the first time, it is usually an exceptional and interesting experience, that gives them deeper insights into the cultural aspects of PAHUYUTH. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ?
