After hearing John Wayne are on the Joe Rogan podcast he specified that he lived in Thailand and trained with Thai boxers for many of years. He is a multi world champion and has an extensive background in Thai boxing and still doesn't consider himself a Kru. My first like to state for me personally if I ever want to consider myself to be a Kru I would like to be appointed by a thai person from a Thai boxing camp in Thailand ( even then I don't know that id expect it fully )
Not only have I never been to Thailand to train with thaiboxer's but I've never had a formal Thai boxing match before myself. I've trained with people who have been to Thailand I trained with Thai people in America. I would also like to state that my original background for Martial Arts is JKD 15 years ago - Jeet June Bruce lees fighting .Since then I've trained in multiple Martial Arts boxing , kickboxing,Muay Thai, Silat ,sambo, JiuJitsu, wingchun, TKD ,Mma , wresting , catch wrestling just to name a few ;) . I don't like to put myself in a box and say that I'm one thing because originally I started with JKD which was intended not to be any one thing and I intend on keeping it that way.
