AND.... one thing you kinda left out but you only had so much time... is that the sport of Muay Thai is exactly that Muay Thai. It MUST represent. From the beginning and not go the way of the Money grab children's tournament. Muay Thai is not semi contact on a mat. It is grossly misleading beginning fighters to believe that they have actual Muay Thai skills or experience. This is a dangerous false sense of well-being. This is clearly evidenced by the quality of the fighters that we've seen coming up through these new fight recitals over the past few years. It really is shameful to the sport and so so many have gone the money grab/dancing school recital model and then when a newbee fighter faces a real fighter... well, it usually doesn't turn out well. I believe, and it is only my belief. I speak for nobody else but myself, however, many other agree that this is actually hurting our beloved sport of Muay Thai although it may help gyms sell more memberships. How are we ever going to train and groom world championship level fighters if their "flight for life" type reflexes which are necessary for REAL Muay Thai, are slowed and dulled. This needs to stop. I believe that sponsors need to step up in the Muay Thai community and SPONSOR the Venue, the Ambulances, the Doctors and a Regulating Body that upholds real Muay Thai Standards. Frankly, with this trajectory... it's crumbling bro. Grow and sponsor fighters. Gyms and gym owners get together and form something that upholds and respects the sport. Maybe we need a rethink here. Just my thoughts. Chris Gregory VoiceOfTheRing Muay Thai and Kickboxing/Boxing and MMA Announcer for 32 years.

This has nothing to do with us and everything to do with a guy who is brain dead that is in no way affiliated with us. The comments never cease to amaze me on the lack of empathy for people in situations like this. I hope it never happens to you or someone close to you.
