I visited a site of a Muay Thai acadamy named www.ancientmuaythai.com and they claim that they teach Muay Thai Boran, I don't know if this is true, so if you do please tell me.

Really, how can you tell? Not to be rude or anything, I just don't want to waste my money.

I thought it sounded legit, but I had to check because it sounds to good to be true based on what's been said on other threads.

So, you think they teach all of the moves left out of modern day Muay Thai?

Ya, I think I may do that, but i'm not sure if I want to learn Mauy Thai or Shaolin wushu. Anyway if I do study there it will be a few years, because I have to finish school and earn the money to pay for my training, but I think there is a good chance i'll go.

My coach has actually used this move to pretty good effect, as odd of a move as it looks.

In Ong Bak, Ting kicked the ass of that kung fu guy, so the answer is obvious.

Spat..

Dumb question may be but how do you condition yourself to head shots ?

Is it just a matter of getting used to taking them in training over a progressive period of time ?

Having not taken many punches/blows to the head in my training I wasn't particularly aware of just how stunned I was recently when one of my students managed to connect with my jaw. Friggin amazing how much i'd forget how disorientating it is.
