Muay Thai Muay Thai is commonly referred to as the "science of eight limbs," and is Thailand's national sport. Muay Thai is derived from the hand-to-hand aspect of the ancient Siamese art known as, "Krabi Krabong;" and was once performed for the entertainment of the King of Siam. Muay Thai is known for its distinct rituals, incredible conditioning, devastating round (Thai) kicks and the merciless use of knees and elbows.

A Fighter's Blues - The Film

I just saw this film called ''A Fighter's Blues.'' I personally thought that it is one of the best films I have seen. The story as it says on the back of the cover:

After 13 years of imprisonment, once a Thai Boxing champion Tiger finally released from prison. He finds that his love Pim is dead and she has left him a daughter Ploy. Ploy is hostile at Tiger at the beginning but their relationship slowly improves. But the crisis comes when a Thai Boxing promoter, Sombat challenges Tiger to fight with his Thai boxing champion Tawon. It is time for Tiger to face up of being a real boxer in life......


I recommend this film to anyone who can get hold of it. It is a Hong Kong film so it might be hard to get hold of in the US. I am not sure it is available in any of the big shopping malls but is definetly worth getting hold of.

From the IMDb:
Ah Fu a.k.a. A Fighter's Blues.

It doesn't seem to be easily available in the U.S. though.
