Muay Thai in France: question mostly for Sylvie

[Joseph Arthur De Gonzo]

Hey there,

The question is mostly for Sylvie but of course, anyone can participate.

So something like a month ago, you did (Sylvie) a post fight facebook live ask-me-question session in your car after a fight. For a while the sound went off, and you talked a bit about the Muay Thai scene in France.

I did not catch what you were saying. I guess you were referring to Best Of Siam events organized around Skarbowsky's gym both in France and in Thailand.

I was wondering if you could elaborate on it a bit in terms of what you think of that group, style, influence both in the western world and in Thailand?

Thanks

I can't really elaborate because I don't watch or follow fighting in France or those shows. Youssef Boughanem's younger brother is on the show semi-regularly and I find him interesting because he's so skilled and smooth but his body-type throws folks off that assumption. He trained at my gym for a few weeks and watching him clinch with PTT was awesome - just awesome - so that's why I follow him at all but, again, I've never watched the shows. Anissa Mekson is interesting from afar and the few fights of hers I've seen she's got a nice, clipped style, but it's not Thai and the fights are in styles and shows that are otherwise pretty uninteresting to me.
