Muay Thai, one of the most deadliest fight technique in the world, is a combat sport from Thailand that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. Many People thought and look at it as violence and a dangerous sport, but it’s actually safe if you know the technique. Besides, which sports doesn’t have any risk? Muay Thai is not just throwing punches and kicks. Its about fitness, getting the right technique and self defense, looking for the right opportunity to throw down your opponent. “To be a Muay Thai Fighter, one must be at peace with oneself. A True Fighter must have self control and know when to stop. Not to fight out of anger and being disrespectful. To protect yourself and the weak ones. Must have Will Power and Passion to win,and never give up”. Words of wisdom and advice from my Muay Thai Teacher/Trainer, Cikgu Ismail from Singa Malaya Muay Thai. He learn Muay Thai at the age of 16, his first fight at the age 17. He have won several fights and championship, Spent most of his younger years traveling around Thailand and Myanmar, searching for Muay Thai knowledge and technique. Been in the fight ring most of his life,now a retired fighter, he opens his own Muay Thai Club,name Singa Malaya. I’ve been trained for 7month now, not yet an expert but will definitely be better someday hahaha. I do hope to fight next year maybe if i’m ready. Hope i can survive through it.hehehe.But do enjoy the photos that i took. It was taken during Hari Belia 2012 (Youth Day 2012) in Putrajaya for National Championship Fight.
