Muay Thai

[Slinky Skills]

Watched some of this on SS2 this morning, brilliant it was. There was a British guy fighting the Thai champion.

The Thai lad was a class above, had a lot of respect for the British lad to be fair.

It's one of hell of type of fighting though. Elbows, knees everything.

Thee most vicious sport there is, i have been lucky enough to see one these fight live in Bangkok .. man the atmosphere is surreal .. those boys just train, eat and fight nothing else

[Slinky Skills]

I agree man, proper vicious it is. You must have to be hard as nails to fight like that though.

Love the moves they do though!!

[Nicey]

They are most street kids and orphans, they train like you would not believe, in the end they are all just pure muscle and as hard as nails.. wondering wither you can learn to have a chin or not

That's the thing mate, pure discipline from an early age. They could show youngsters here in the UK a few things.

Although it's vicious they have a lot of respect for each other. The Thai champion I was watching kicked the British lad in the leg and he could hardly get up but he wouldn't go for it again incase he done more damage.

[Nicey]

Yep, true martial arts is not about aggression its about respect for ones self and ones opponent
