I love kickboxing (at the gym) so I was all about going to see some real live kickboxers while we were in Thailand to get some good pointers, we went last night. It was 5 matches of 5 rounds each and we really enjoyed it.
I didn’t like the punching part that much b/c I really didn’t like the blood (and I am not a fan of regular boxing) but I loved the kicking part- I mean there were some really awesome roundhouse kicks!
It also had some nice touches compared to American boxing- little Buddhist dance and prayers before each round, happy smiling boxers- they smile at each other pretty much during the whole match, awesome Thai music played during the whole match and again some awesome kicks.
We were really bummed b/c we forgot to bring the camera, b/c after each match was over, the winner would pose in a really cute boxing stance for pictures!
We can’t believe we leave the Marriott tomorrow, our 5 nights here flew by! We are worried a bit that our perspective of vacation length of time has gotten really skewed since this trip. We head to some islands down south near the coast where the tsunami hit tomorrow, looking forward to getting to a quieter beach. The island we are going to only has 500 inhabitants, so internet access is unlikely.
