Muaythai Day 2016

Every year, the Royal Thai Government, WMC, IFMA and the Amateur Muaythai Association of Thailand joins forces with 130 member countries to celebrate the day of muaythai. The day is intended to honour King Somdej Phra Sanpher the 8th, better known as Phra Chao Sua, or the Tiger King. He is renowned in Thailand for his expertise in Thai martial art skills. Phra Chao Sua rose to the throne on February 6th, 1702.

The Ministry of Tourism and Sport, the Sport Authority of Thailand will host this glorious event again in cooperation with the WMC ,IFMA and AMTAT

A press conference was held at the Sport Authority of Thailand in conjunction with the Governor of the Sport Authority, Mr. Sakon Wannapong, the President of WMC, General Chetta Thanajaro, President of IFMA, Dr Sakchye Tapsuwan, and many others to announce the festivities.

General Chetta Thanajaro, President of the WMC, which is under directive of the Royal Thai Government and under patronage of His Majesty the King stated that muaythai is a cultural art form and a world recognised sport, and for millions of people a way of life.

Muaythai day is not only to show respect to the teachers, but respect to everyone who is involved in the muaythai family and is a reminder to celebrate the five pillars we stand on Honour, Respect, Tradition, Fair Play and Excellence.

Dr. Sakchye stated that muaythai has truly become a world recognised sport, proudly included in many multisport games under the Olympic banner such as the World Games, official world championship programme in FISU and events recognised by the Olympic Council of Asia. Important traditions like wai kru and mongkol, which are 1000 years old, are part of these modern games. The world loves muaythai for the simple reason that it includes old traditions mixed with today’s world of excellence and fair play.

I don't usually watch it on Youtube, but recently I saw the match between Buakaw and Yi Long.
If you go to the 50 second mark (the beginning of the match), you will see Yi Long almost immediately clobber Buakaw with an overhand right and then knock him off his feet twice.
Buakaw has a rather strained little smile after that.

I watched this a couple of times to score it again and it was closer than I originally thought.
Yi Long's a kung fu guy. Buakaw did get the measure of him but should have upped the tempo in round 3. Yi Long a slippery awkward fighter

After Buakaw's recent fight in Shanghai they met in the ring, so a rematch won't be too far away

Decent fight. Hainan gets a bit demoralised soon after taking a few knees and kicks, and getting slammed hard a few times

Typical image of an official do in Thailand.:)
On the stage you have the duty ''VIP's'' sat around on sofas, waffling till the Cows come home no doubt, and an audience bored out of their tits wondering when the snobs are gonna quit droning on . :smileylaughing:
Zero fun, but a few egos sufficiently stroked.

Probably because nobody has crawled over to him yet on their knees, with a drink and a bowl of peanuts. Terrible VIP treatment!
