Watching a Live Muay Thai Match in Pattaya | Thailand
Marky Ramone Go
July 19, 2017
My first impression of the
sport of Muay Thai was of a violent
one where fighters battle each other almost to a pulp. No thanks to my
childhood memory of watching the film ‘Kickboxer’.
In the movie, Jean Claude Van Damme’s character had to go through a blood-spattered
match against the villain Tong Po—to avenge his brother who was left paralyzed
after an earlier fight with Po. Besides, if Boxing can kill fighters on the
ring, how much more in a martial arts sport that uses fist, elbow, knee, and
the legs as main weapons.
