Muay Sena is an Eclectic, Trifocal System Comprised of Three Subjects of Holistic Practice.
The Three Areas of Study and Cultivation are:
1. "DHAMMA" (ธรรม):
The Mindful Observation of Reality and Dedicated Development of Morality, Stability of Heart/Mind and Skills of Wise Discernment.
2. "YUT" (ยุทธ):
Reality-Based Combatives and Self-Defense Concepts Focused on Empirical Evidence and Training Methods for the Efficient Development of Physical Skills.
3. "MUAY" (มวย):
Unarmed Combat Methods and Accompanying Traditional Practices of Muay Thai Boran.
The Art was Developed in the Crucible of Fight or Be Killed, Close-Quarters, Hand-To-Hand Combat as Experienced by it's Founder, American Scholar of Martial Arts Sciences, Kru Nick Sena (ครู นิค เสนา).
Nick is a "Guru-Sissa" (ครู-ษิศย์) Dedicated Teacher-Disciple with a Passion for the Study and Practice of The Martial Arts with a Focus on MuayThai Boran, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and the Concepts of Jeet Kune Do.
Kru Nick's Singular Experience was acquired from Involuntary Prolonged Exposure to Extreme Human Environments. This Experience, Seen and Felt through the Filter of a Martial Artist, has Revealed Empirical Evidence into the Brutal and Unpredictable Nature of Real Combat.
Kru Nick Developed and Utilized his Training and Knowledge of the Combat Arts and The Human Animal to Survive the Gangland Underworld of Los Angeles and later, the Notoriously Perilous Maximum Security Prisons of California. Along this Journey he Realized many Truths about Violence and the Nature of Humanity, both Self and Others.
Kru Nick has Survived and Transcended the Draconian Limitations and Counterproductive Milieu of Prison by Dedicating himself to the Practice and Study of the Martial Arts Sciences and Buddhism.
Through these Efforts Kru Nick began to Change into a more Kind, Conscious, Disciplined and Wise Human Being. This Path towards Self-Actualization Developed in him a Higher Capacity for Morality, Self-Awareness, and Interpersonal Proficiency. Kru Nick has made Radical Advancements Within his Heart and Mind and Without. This has developed in him the Skills to Avoid Conflict and Violence in some of the Most Dangerous and Violent Environments on Earth.
Kru Nick's Extensive First Hand Experience of the Lifesaving Properties of the Martial Arts and Buddhism, and more significantly, their Potential to Develop the Heart and Mind for the better, Inspired him to share his Experience and Knowledge with Others.
The Altruistic Decision to Contribute to Humanity and Help Others Avoid the Mistakes he made as a Teenager led to the Codification of the System of Muay Sena.
Kru Nick commenced the Codifications of His System in 2012, incorporating his Technical Knowledge of MuayThai Boran and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu along with his Study of Jeet Kune Do Concepts and coupled this with his Extreme Personal Experience in Potentially Lethal Combat.
In addition to the purely Martial Aspects of the System, Kru Nick Incorporated Concepts and Principles for Self-Actualization derived from his Dedicated Study and Practice of Buddhism.
Over the years the Dhamma has become more emphasized in the System; with the Martial Aspects serving as a Vehicle Transporting the Practitioner to Self-Knowledge and Understanding of Reality.
Kru Nick is a Published Author with Two Books on The Legendary "Pra Jao Seua" (พระเจ้าเสือ) Tiger King Style of Muay Boran.
