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.

Won my fight

I talked about this in the general section so will just mention it here. I won my match last night here in Thailand. I am very happy but I reinjured an old sprain in my foot and am limping around like mad... and I broke or sprained my middle finger on my right hand and it's swollen to bursting and hurts too much to move. But other than that I'm great! I'm very happy, this will be an experience I will never forget. My opponent was pretty nasty looking too but it turned out he was much scarier to look at than to fight..... or I got really lucky.

Yes he was a local fighter. I won by body knockout. At least that is what people called it. I kicked him in the ribs and he went down and couldnt get back up.

I'll figure out how to get my video up once I'm back in Canada next week.
