Child Kickboxers - Thailand


June 2008The crowd roars as children punch and kick one another during a Thai kickboxing competition in Bangkok. For the adults watching these young athletes in combat it is more than just sport, it means money."After their bets are in, audiences are even more captivated by every move the fighters make." The fights are dangerous, but the crowds only care about one thing, their money. Children as young as four years old train to fight. They risk brutal injuries to earn money for their poor families and dream of a happier life. "I'm going to buy a house for my dad", claims one fighter.

inhaling painkillers? what bullshit is that? and the commentator doesn't even learn enough Thai to even correctly pronounce the sports name, referring to it as Mai Thai, does she think its a cocktail lounge? pathetic over-sensationalised garbage and not an objective comment on either Muay Thai as a sport or the Thai culture it represents. poor quality journalism of the worst kind. its only missing the paedophile stereotype beloved by the gutter UK press.

it is child abuse. kickboxing exist in burma, laos and cambodia and they dont start this young.

These kids are tough, this is Thailand folks, not the wrapped in cotton wool west, people who say its abuse may have a point. But it could also be argued having a unhealthy overweight child, and all the long term health problems that could cause is abusive, and our western society is producing them in massive numbers.

Sad to see a former champion in ill health and in financial difficulty. Much as I love Thai Boxing and Thailand, I have to admit that more should be done to ensure the health and safety of the boxers.

Got any other trite cliches you can toss into this argument?
