1980年，日本“新格斗名人”田畑向泰拳师挑战，竟被对方一脚扫断左臂。其后，日本空手道全国冠军泽村忠又被泰拳师当场踢成重伤。日本搏击界视此为奇耻大辱，创立了踢拳道，专门研究对付泰拳的办法。经过长期的秘密训练之后，日本踢拳道协会选派滕原敏男远征泰国，向现役泰拳拳王公开挑战，终于以绝对优势击败对方，打破了泰拳“站立格斗，天下无敌”的神话。这是泰拳历史上第一次由外国人使用外国拳术打败本国拳王，并且夺走“拳王”的称号。回顾日本武术界向泰拳挑战的过程，中国武术界当会有所启示，有所警惕。In 1980, Japan's "New Combat Celebrity" Tabata challenged a Muay Thai fighter, only to have his left arm broken by the opponent's kick. Later, Zeimura Tadashi, the national champion of Japanese karate, was severely injured by a Muay Thai fighter on the spot. The Japanese combat sports community regarded this as a great humiliation and founded kickboxing, specifically researching ways to deal with Muay Thai. After long-term secret training, the Japan Kickboxing Association selected Fujiwara Toshio to expedition to Thailand, publicly challenging the active Muay Thai champion, and finally defeated the opponent with an absolute advantage, breaking the myth that Muay Thai is "invincible in stand-up fighting". This was the first time in the history of Muay Thai that a foreigner using a foreign martial art defeated a national champion and took away the "champion" title. Looking back at the process of the Japanese martial arts community challenging Muay Thai, the Chinese martial arts community should gain some enlightenment and vigilance.#神21乘组公布,最年轻航天员登场#
