In case none of you know what Thai boxing is, it is like kick boxing but instead of using your fists and feet, they use their elbows and knees which can do severe amounst of damage, some thai boxers have even been killed. Since the elbow and knee are close to your main torso and therefore harder to hit someone with, what they do is they launch themselves at the enemy like a rabbit or something. I was completely amazed at some of the stuff they could do. Anyway, I'll try to find a link but if someone here has seen or heard of it let me know.  |
Thai Boxing is one of the most effective and deadly forms of martial art out there. A good thai boxer can take down almost anyone. The only problem with it is finding a good teacher.
I doubt it would be a blockbuster movie over here considering the tastes of western audiences. They are very fickle. Take Croutching Tiget, Hidden Dragon for instance. It was not really that great a movie, but for many people it was thier first immersion in the
kung fu world, so they were enthralled. People who have been watching
martial arts movies for years were like "Eh its ok".
