I loved this show, and I found this show to be very inspiring & motivating for me to continue my training. Wish this & the boxing version were never cancelled.
the contender music always did and still does give me chills because it is my absolute dream to become a successful nak muay and be able to make it a secure profession. and everytime i watched this show it jus gave me chills...the best inspiration
I LOVED WATCHING THIS SERIES...AND THE MUSIC IS OVERWHELMING...I LOVE YOU HANS ZIMMER....U ARE A TRUE GENIUS, YOU ALWAYS MANAGE TO GIVE ME GOOSEBUMPS. I AM JUST ADDICTED TO YOUR MUSIC...! THANK YOU FOR YOUR YET ANOTHER PRICELESS PIECE OF MUSIC!
The woodwind at the start makes my hair stand on end, LOVE IT! Best programme that has ever been on, and the first series I have watched on Tv for years. Please, please make another!
Thanks for setting the record straight. As soon as I read that the xdylanw guy stated Europe & Australia as a part of Asia I was like "wow man...please PLEASE study the continents!" Also you had a good response about the Latin boxers. Has it ever occurred to that guy that they may want to earn money so they can provide for their family? Or maybe even support the gym that they trained from. Who knows?! lol
The Contender Asia will also be available in the following countries through local public television channels: Australia, Canada, Sweden, France, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates, and Thailand. The show is produced by Riaz Metha, Mark Burnett and Jeffery Katzenberg.
este video no solo nos muestra el muay thai, si no que tambien nos en seña su cultura que muy poco se practica en occidente pero que poco a poco crese, esto me inspira.
si amigo.. y claro que colocaré los videos pero a su debido tiempo ya que aun no e podido viajar al exterior y poder representar a mí país como debe ser.. Gracias y Saludos!
I found this in an article by googling "Contender Muay Thai" "Instead of boxing, the international edition of The Contender will feature Thai boxing. Yes, martial arts fans, it's The Contender Muay Thai. You're going to have to wait for it to show up on RU-vid though. The show will only air in Asia, Europe and Latin America."
Thanks for the links, I'm a big yod fan. I love how he used the prize money to buy a house for his mother. Such a great and respectful fighter. Anyways I'm also tired of this thai vs cambodian bs, people need to stop harboring on past disputes, especially since your complaining is not gonna change the course of history or affect the art in any way. Be grateful and appreciate the amazing art for what it has developed into today, what ever the name or origins of it may actually be.
that guy he quite young hes 22 but he is 2nd favourite to win the series his name is naurepol 110 wins and 30 losses, he is also the no1 contender for the wbc middleweight title, and ironically known for his devastatin knees!
Episode 14 & the Grand Final will be shown next Wed, 16th Apr together. I think it's gonna be more than 3 hours long. The final is VERY, VERY awesome - best fight of the series. Just watch it 'LIVE' last night. Bonus rematches include - Soren VS Sean for the Intercontinental Champion Belt, Zach VS Zidov for rematch and Rafik VS (Dzhabar / JWP - don't wanna be spoiler here)
i wanna know where to get the soundtrack of this series...or where i might be able to download them... the intro is like so sick! and the music really makes you feel pumped up every time you listen to it.
appologise for the last comment didnt make much sense,The guy that throws the knee towards the end is naurepol he trains out of fairtex in pattaya thailand he is quite young at 22 but he has 130 wins and 40 losses, he is also the no1 contender for the wbc middleweight title, and ironically known for his devastating knees!
Contender Asia will be aired next month on AXN South East Asian Channel in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Phillippines, Indonesia and Hong Kong. Visit their website for more details.
lol, im glad u have faith, i did muay thai for around 5 years (had a few fights) and now i do jujitsu/MMA, tbh i think if u get sum1 whose purely muay thai it wud be quite easy to grab them and take them down, provided they ve got the skill to close the distance down
@rakokako muay thai develop from war in southeast asia.where you hold sword in hand.it have a word in thailand-Muay thai skill is already flow in thai blood vein.because when you have to fight you must use every part of your body as weapon.that is muay thai
AMAZING SERIE !!!! but one fail on the link Im bout to end but the links for 15 chapter are missing... hope you can fix this ... keep up the good work .... thanxz in advance
@rakokako well some vestiges of Khmer, Khmer was really located near in the place we know nowdays as Cambodia... another country that have a rough martial art named La Bokator or just Bokator Muay Thai was designed to fight aganist Khmer warriors and thats the reason theyre so similar look up here on YT for Bokator cheers
most foreignor wents to southeast asia see muay thia as khmer arts written in the stone wall of ankor wat. most friends in my brazilian jiu jitsu admitted it was originated from cambodia.
