The Samurai of Ayothaya Page #3

---

Can your Japanese martial art compete

against that of Ayothaya, White face?

I am sorry, Champa.

I didn't think it would turn out like this.

White face, don't fight with Master Sua.

You cannot beat him.

There is only one person

who can beat Master Sua.

What do you want?

I want to be your student.

Please teach me Thai boxing.

Your martial art technique is pretty good.

You don't need to learn from me.

Learning from an experienced teacher

for a single day is far better

than practising by oneself.

And why do I have to teach you?

Ayothaya's boxing is our national treasure.

lt doesn't belong to foreigners.

And more importantly your blood

is not the same colour as mine.

My blood is Ayothaya blood,

yours is Japanese.

Yes. But now I live in Ayothaya

and when I die,

the soil of Ayothaya will cover my face.

It is not my birthplace

but where my soul will rest.

Who taught you to talk like this?

All the people of Ayothaya here taught me...

Taught you what?

They taught me the difference

between an honourable death

and one that is not.

lf one dies for the country

and King Naresuan,

no matter how many lifetimes one is born,

it is still worth giving up one's life.

At this moment, my heart is Ayothaya.

ln Ayothaya, if someone wants

to learn any art or discipline,

they will need a teacher.

From now on, you have a teacher.

You must be virtuous and never use

Ayothaya's martial arts to bully others,

but only use it for protecting

the country and yourself.

You cannot fight with others

if you are not at peace inside.

lt is like a swordsman who only depends

on the sharpness of his blade.

In the end, he wiII never understand

the way of the sword.

Ayothaya's boxing is an intelligent

form of martial arts

handed down from generation to generation

since the Sukhothai era.

It is the art of attack and defence.

We use eight weapons,

two hands,

two feet,

two knees,

and two eIbows,

in battle for hundreds of years.

It is a martiaI art which has

beautiful movements

with hidden strengths and aggressiveness.

Meanwhile your Japanese martial arts

are smooth,

fluid and peacefuI.

You watch your opponent

and use his strength to take him down

by throwing him, pinning him down,

grappling rapidly

and forcefully.

lf you are able to combine

the best of both martial arts,

then nobody will be able to beat you.

Your boxing technique is much better,

Japanese.

I taught him myself because I saw he had

the determination to learn.

He can be useful to our country

in the future.

Sua, are you angry that I taught

Thai boxing to a foreigner?

No, sir, you must have

thought it out already.

And I am thinking of entering him
