Zaza Sor. Aree has been making a comeback this year, and at the end of April, she fought Krathaithong Por Promin. This is a short highlight video of that fight from Zaza's gym, Siangboxing.

The last memory I have of Zaza going to Japan and getting overwhelmed in a fight. Do you remember that fight Emma? Not sure if I remember the name correctly, but I was very surprised.

Kevin, I believe she was knocked out by Rena.

Was hoping you would jump in Charlie. Well, there's no shame in that, Rena is very tough. I just remember thinking that she did not look as sharp as I expected given how famous her name was in Thailand. Maybe I would see it with different eyes if I watched now.

That was a 'Shootboxing' match, wasn't it? I know she had a couple of those fights, but didn't do so well.. :mellow: It must be very difficult transitioning over to fighting with different rules!

Gave it a Google because it's been a long time since I saw it. It was this incredible liver shot combo that KO'd her:

Below is the full fight, starting at 4:10:

I see two hip throws that certainly aren't MT, and a long choke lock that would have been legal in MT and caused serious knee problems, but then eventually broken. But Rena's hands and combinations, and her clinch are all just too much, and Zaza finds herself in several compromised positions with her head down that could be KOs by knee. I think it's a blowout even in full rules MT. Rena is just too good. Too strong, too dynamic. No shame in that though, she is a special fighter.

I just met Krathaithong Por. Promin at my last fight in Hua Hin. She's only had about a dozen fights!

Oh really? I've found that most Thai girls I've asked tell me they've had ten fights regardless of what the actual number is, so I'm always wary. It's hard to tell when you only have short clips to go by, but it does look as though this could have been a better match up! 

EDIT: I checked Por. Promin's Facebook page to see if there was any info on her, and it said that she had her 11th fight in April, so that sounds about right  :smile:

      Looking for a hard reset: Nature, Discipline, and Authenticity

      By Zaruto · Posted

      Hi everyone,   I’m 22, currently finishing my Master's in IT in France, but honestly, I feel like my life is aimless right now. I’m stuck in a bubble of comfort and I need to see the world for what it really is. I want to build a real physical and mental discipline and reconnect with nature. I'm planning to leave on March for a month (or more) of total immersion in Thailand to practice Muay Thaï. I already have few month of experience but I’m still a full beginner. I’m torn between two options and would love your advice:   1. Look Nungubon (Ubon): I love the family vibe and the authenticity of the gym. It feels like the "real deal," but it's in a city neighborhood (no nature) and I've heard they only do one formal training session a day.     2. Kem Muay Thai (Khao Yai): The mountain setting and the nature look perfect for a mental break. But it's expensive (36,000 baht) and I’m worried it might be too focused on westerners/tourists now. I don't want a "resort" experience.   Does anyone have experience with these two? Or maybe a suggestion for a hidden gem in Isan or rural Thailand where I can find that mix of nature + brutal discipline + authenticity and connection with people ?   Thanks for your help.

      Journaling - Readings, Muay Thai, Concepts and Articulations

      One of the more interesting things that has become clearer in my study of capitalism and Muay Thai is just how much Thailand's traditional Muay Thai is operating within a non-Capitalist organization, much closer to apprenticeship (within the Western tradition), and intimately woven into the Social (re)Production registers (in the West) upon which Capitalism depends. When non-Thais come to Thailand as consumers (or even free agent labor) there is an extreme dysfunction between their motivations and assumptions and the pervading Muay Thai culture they are attempting to integrate with (leaving aside the degrees to which there is a new Tourism-oriented culture which is organized around giving them particular kinds of experiences). As Thailand's Muay Thai turns to Capitalist solutions to its traditional stagnation and decline (much impacted by the COVID slowdown), there are forced mis-translations between cultures, and also increasingly pressured demands for Thais to abandon the values of apprenticed social (re)production.

      As Fraser frames it, the question between exploitation and expropriation is of vulnerability, and the controls over that vulnerability. She positions the State as essential arbitrator of vulnerability status.    In the case of Muay Thai's traditional power dynamics, fighters are "dependents" (sometimes literally positioned as de facto children of a kaimuay household, adoptively so), yet are not exposed as "defenseless" before the market, at least in the sense that it is the (imagined) moral character and obligation of Houses to care for their fighters, and to protect them from external predation (though, clearly they do not always fulfill this obligation). Fighters are "protected" in the social form, but also locked into social hierarchies (which many will view as unjust...or, alternately romanticize as formal "respect").
