How high can you go?

This is Vince’s photo. It was taken in Thailand when he was lucky enough to go to a Thai boxing competition. Around 3,000 boxers marched onto a huge arena and, after a lot of ceremony, the competitions started. It wasn’t traditional boxing as Western nations might know it but Thai boxing, involving some very intricate moves. There were no holds barred and you can see from the photos how the contestants leap and kick in their efforts to get the upper hand.

@Ineeddentures I'm not going to fall because I'm not going to try (to jump).

Reminds me of the Thai movie Ong-bak. Vince have proven his martial arts skills given that he is able to joined the competition. Goodluck to all the participants.

He only took the photos. There is no way he'd be competing.

I don't even try to jump around anymore. I'd fall down. I wouldn't mind watching a match like that, though.

@JudyEv I found a short clip of Thai boxing online and it isn't what I thought it would be, either.

Those pictures certainly do show how intricate the moves are and I bet it was amazing to see in person.

I'd just be cringing every time someone got hurt.

They must be incredibly fit to be able to do this.

They'd be black and blue at the end of the night.

That looks like what we call “MMA” (mixed martial arts).

That is probably what it was. There weren't a lot of English speakers around to tell him what was what.

At least more pleasant to look than traditional western boxing.

It would be but watching people get hurt doesn't really appeal to me.

They must have really strong calf muscles to be able to leap so high.
