Shooting for 2016
2008-05-28 08:25:00
Let the Push begin! So it’s no secret that the folks at the IMF and WMC have been lobbying for this for a while. It looks like they’re coming down the marketing home stretch. One of the primary goals of the WMC since it was established in 1995 was to get Muay Thai into the ...

Last week Devid Lookmahanak faced off against WBC lightweight boxing champ Jorge Arce in Mexico. Arce (49-4-1, 37 KO) was the heavily favored fighter coming into the bout. No one thought Devid, (18-1) would make it past the first round of the bout. In the middle of a bull-fighting arena in front of a ...

This past week film critics got a glimpse of Tony Jaa’s new movie Ong Bak 2. Jaa has taken over the directorial duties in his latest release.

I was just recently contacted by a young nak muay Marc Alpin, who’s currently living his dream by living in training in Thai land. I get lot of emails… I’d say about 70% of them are related to training in Thailand. Where should I train? How much does it cost to live in Thailand? ...

Nah Rak Nak Muay
