Tony Jaa was born and raised in a rural area in Surin Province to Rin Saipetch and Thongdee Yeerum. He is of Kuy descent and he can speak Thai, Northern Khmer and Kuy. In his youth Jaa watched films by Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li at temple fairs, which was his inspiration to learn martial arts. He was so inspired by them that while he was doing chores or playing with friends, he would imitate the martial arts moves that he had seen, practicing in his father's rice paddy.[citation needed] “What they [Chan, Lee, and Li] did was so beautiful, so heroic that I wanted to do it too,“ Jaa told Time in a 2004 interview. “I practiced until I could do the move exactly as I had seen the masters do it. Jaa began training in Muay Thai at the local temple from age 10 and at age 15 he requested to become a protégé of stuntman and action-film director Panna Rittikrai. Panna had instructed Jaa to attend Maha Sarakham College of Physical Education in Maha Sarakham Province from which he graduated with a bachelor's degree IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: IF you don't like any of my uploads for whatever reason, please don't make a scene - contact me here on YouTube by sending me a private message or send me an e-mail on: trainingday900@ & i will happily cooperate and take it down! © Copyright Notice: We make these videos to motivate people and inspirate them for better workout.
