Artist's Comments
Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand, and similar to variants of the sport in Cambodia (Khun Khmer), Laos, Myanmar and Malaysia. It's a hard martial art that is referred to as the "The art of eight limbs" as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used during the fights. When it comes to make points or "strikes", a muay thai boxer can use 8 points of contact, while there are 2 (fists) in Western boxing and mostly 4 (fists & feet) in most sport-oriented martial arts.
I took this shot during a Muay Thai evening in Chiang Mai. I hope you'll enjoy the photograph and smell up the atmosphere. Nikon D300, Tokina 12-24mm, B + W UV filter. Copyright © lux69aeterna.

Gotta admit it does look like some Tekken or Street Fighter game in real life like what one of the suggesters said. Thailand - Muay Thai by *lux69aeterna. 30 Points Combo!!! (Featured by ^estudio) |
