Virtual Martial Arts Championship 2009Tony Jaa  Panom Yeerum was born on February 5, 1976, in the northeastern province of Surin, Thailand. His parents were elephant herders. Panom watched martial arts films as a young kid and began to emulate some of his idols, from Bruce Lee to Jackie Chan to Jet Li. After seeing the Thai action film "Born to Fight", Panom met and studied martial arts and stunt work as a teen under the director of that film, Panna Rittikrai. Panom went to university where he studied a variety of martial arts, from tae kwondo to judo. It was not long before Panom would get work, doubling for Robin Shou and James Remar in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997) and when his demo reel was seen by director Prachya Pinkaew, the film Ong-bak (2003) was created for Panom, who is now going by the name of "Tony Jaa" in hopes to bring his style of action to international audiences.

Tony Yaa is The best
I love Bruce Lee.I've seen many martial arts movies of a lot of famous stars, but I think that Tony Yaa is the best fighter.
He is very,very strong. Reaction by:

this is Tony Jaa. not Tony Yaa. anyways his feature films in which he stars in so far are Spirited Killer, Tom Yum Goong (The Protector), Ong Bak, The Bodyguard (not the one with Whitney Houston), and he's making a new film called Sword.
i think he's great in his films. i just really wish he would talk some philosophy, like Bruce Lee did in his films. Reaction by:

lol
i guess they didn't know i was being sarcastic, lol. i know who tony jaa is. it'd be good if he did have more philosophy in his movies but today's audience doesn't really care for that part of martial arts any more. violence, blood, guns and near-porn are all people are into these days. too many A-list actors are doing martial arts movies or should i say movies with some martial arts in them. instead of using a real martial artist they just have these hollywood stars train in martial arts for a few months and then call in a martial arts choreographer. they can do anything in hollywood. they can make toby maguire ('m sure i spelled that wrong) look like jackie chan, lol. this is why tony jaa will probably never get the popularity he deserves. too much realism and not enough guns and special effects. i just start ordering movies from overseas if i want to see a martial arts movie.

that is true but i wish they would at least try to put in philosophy and see how it works out. there are martial artists that care about philosophy and watch Tony Jaa's films. i think people would respect him even more if they knew that he not only can fight, but is an intelligent person. thats why i respect Bruce Lee so much; his skills in combat are superb, top notch, and academically/philosophically wise he is excellent.

I recently heard someone say that Tony Jaa is the Jet Li of Jackie Chans...... Or the other way around.

philosophy
when we have become one with our body, harder training of being one with the mind comes next, adapting, decieving, percieving, awareness.

I think Tony Jaa is the best martial artist around today. His style is flawless and untouchable. I hope to God that one day i will get to meet you. I have dreams about you all the time and i want to make them real.
I love you Panom and one day I will tell you in person. Till then Keep up the great work and you are the best. Love always, Darcy Reaction by:
