Muay Thai is a sacred sport in Thailand this how they can measure the strength and passion of Thai mens to their country and belief.

What a wierd experience to see kids fighting professionally. I mean, I know that kids train that young here in the US, but it’s just not something you see if you’re not one of their parents, you know?

The kids are very much a part of the fight nights. You can tell they train/practice. The littlest girls that opened the night were seen hanging out together afterwards – so they seemed to be friends. Each fighter performed a dance unique to his/her gym before starting off, along with what I think were prayers as they did a walk around the ring.

Nope, and gambling was something I had hoped to do at the fight. I suppose I could’ve started betting with Steve but he didn’t seem too interested.

Muay Thai is some serious stuuufffff…… I have watched many a fight where the highly skilled muay thai fighter has dominated over other fighters who are just as skilled in a different martial art (jujitsu or whatever). I find it a little fascinating… of course, I am observing the commercial americanized versions. I actually saw a special program once about children fighters and how they are starting this off at such a young age. It was something very strange about watching 2 10-year old boys try to beat the snot out of each other… the absence of testosterone kinda makes for a boring match :smile: Not to mention…they cried at the end of the fight.

I think the closest I’ve ever been to boxing are the the reruns of Rocky on TV. :p It’s an interesting experience to see familiar sports reinterpreted in different countries. The young kids boxing part is a little bit disturbing. How did they end up there? Did they want to be part of the spectacle? Are they having fun?
