Congratulations Again!

A congratulations to our Kru Jen and P.C. Lindor for completing Ajahn Suchart's next level of curriculum! Our two instructors are stepping it up, as this level has them studying deeper into the traditions of Muay Thai and exploring some of its more esoteric techniques.





It translates into us getting nothing but better instruction and a brighter future for spreading the traditions of Muay Thai.

Mini shoutouts go to our assistant instructors P.C. Nic and Brian for their ring performances on Saturday night. I couldn't be there but I heard it made for some must-watch videos

If you don't know who Bovy is, he's one of the most well known Thais and his been around for a while. He's best known for just walking forward and throwing, at the cost of absorbing some damage himself. He's so tough that he's usually successful at knocking his opponents out or at least pummeling them, however there are those like Anuwat who have knocked him out in turn.

Rudolph is a well seasoned fighter himself, having fought Santichai and Andrei Kulebin multiple times in tournaments.

Female Muay Thai fight (Video)

*edit*
According to Kru J: "I believe that one of the girls is Daoprasuk Petchopas in that video. Undefeated in over 54 fights. Best fighter at my weight in the world. She is in the red"


Here are two strong female Thai's going at it. I don't know who they are unfortunately. Finally! A quality clip of female MT.

I posted a fight between Marco and Yod yesterday, and I was talking about how Marco has faced a lot really well known guys early on in his pro career. Here's one of those fights against Malaipet in L.V Nevada, back in 2005.

Both these men are slated to compete in the Contender Asia Season 2 that is rumoured to start filming in the new year.

Thailand Vs Challengers Event: coming January 16/10

Thought I'd share this upcoming event with you which is part of the "Thailand Versus Series".

It's looking to be a huge promotion sanctioned by the WMC and promoted by Songchai Ratanasuban (If you don't know how big this guy is in Muaythai, look him up. He's like the Godfather of promoting).

The event has a kickass website here: http://www.thailandvs.com/ , complete with fighter profiles and video trailer.



On the 16th of January 2010, look for these fighters to be representing their respective teams.

Thailand/
- Kaoklai Kaengnorasing
- Nopparat Keatkamtorn
- Bovy Sor Udomsorn
- Nonsai Sanyakorn
- Tum Mardsue
- Zaza Sor Aree(muaying)

Challengers/
- Dzabhar Askerov
- Arslan AK-47
- Antuan Siangboxing
- Joe Bam Bam(muaying)
- TBA-Japan
- Ramazan Ramazanov


As you can see there are a lot of big names from both sides, and a female fight between Zaza and Joe Bam Bam. It would be a good idea to look up some of these fighters if you want to see some of the current talent in the sport.
