  Tony Jaa is a legend. Most of his moves are real. Choreography is based on the real Muay Boran style. It is not the sport Muay Tai Boxing. It is street Muay Tai

  Tony Jaa teeped to the face in that scene to return the disrespect the other guy had shown just before (Flipping him off, saying "f*ck muay thai").  Touching the face with a foot is considered disrespectful in traditional Thai culture.

  To Tony Jaa's defense, those are Muay Boran punches, not Western Boxing. Muay Boran kinda became Muay Thai after the introduction of Western Boxing from the Phillipines where they added boxing gloves to increase safety. The influence of Western boxing raised the stance from a low stance to high stance, changed punches, and added rules to standardize the Sport of Muay Thai from of the art of Muay Boran.

  Here is another fact about Tony Jaa. Tony did fight as a Muay Thai Fighter. His record was 5-0. He decided to pursue movies because of the art of Muay Thai and Muay Boran for his country rather than just fighting against people. Tony Jaa's form is 10/10 for the movie Ong Bak.

  There is also a kick called "Crocodile tail strike" (จระเข้ฟาดหาง) in Muay Thai as well. And that scene that Tony Jaa "teep" the opponent face is called "Feet Rub Face" move (บาทาลูบพักตร์)
