Have you ever seen 8-year-olds beat the crap out of each other in a boxing ring?
I have.
It was a good thing someone warned us there were young children that fought Muay Thai when we bought our tickets. Muay Thai (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muay_Thai) is Thailand's national sport is is one of, if not the, most popular sport. It's pretty much kick-boxing but a little more hard core. Lots of knees and elbows. Jasper and I had front row seats and each of us got a complementary drop of blood on our legs (Don't worry, the 8-year-olds didn't bleed). We were also fortunate enough to see a few Technical Knock Outs (TKO's).
As aggressive as the sport is, many of the fighters seemed to be good friends and fun times were had by all.

Kick ass. Mauy Thai is hard core. Something I almost forgot about, but you are in Thailand after all. Glad you checked it out. I would think it's almost everywhere there. So, would go watch it again?
