We had to move house so my little gym
had to move too.
I think it’s a blessing in disguise
We live in subtropics so during summer this will definitely have a Thai vibe with the humidity 😍🤩
Just dropping this here:
I'm kind of mesmerized by this photo. I knew I had it the moment I hit the shutter. I took several more to be sure, but sometimes the subject and the device just connect. You can see a higher res version of the photo here: https://www.muaynoir.com/Prints/i-z63TzJ3/A
What I wanted to think about in this post though was the way that black and white, and that old school luminescence can bring an incredible throwback feeling that feels important with older legends of the sport. Muay Thai is, in the end, in Thailand a performance and capture of masculinity. As Muay Thai changes and bows to the pressures of the the west/global aggro fighting, so does the masculinity being portrayed. This photo just seems to throw me back into another time. Pudpadnoi fought his first fight in 1965. He assumes this aura even at the age of 70. The things we can bring about in our edits have huge aesthetic ramifications, because they help us see things in a different way. The men, the sport.

These are older links, not all of them will be functioning.
It is highly unlikely that there will be another Muay Khao Summit. We can never say never, but it just isn't feasible at this point or the foreseeable future, unfortunately. It was a beautiful, one-time thing.
Hello,
The link to the woman's fights above is not appearing. Also, is there any plans for another all female Muay Khao Summit ? If so, how do you guys choose who can attend?
There is a new brand where I saw that has different variations of shinguards for both women and men. To be honest, I haven't order any equipment there but I do have some gear..rash guards and spats and I think they are quite good in quality. Anyway, I will leave a link https://www.xmartial.com/collections/sparring-gear
When I was in Thailand I was using the Woody brand in size medium. I don't like it when shinguards go over my toes or over my knees so I choose a smaller fit on purpose. In France I don't use any.
