Contact sports

I finally made it to a Muay Thai fight night last night. Really good night, although it was almost more interesting to watch the trainers and gambling Thais than the fights themselves. And the organisers were keen to inform me that I could sign up for some training sessions, if I wanted.

Instead, I am currently training in the other aggressive Thai contact sport of Thai massage (the photo's not of my course, but a promotional photo showing one of the moves).

It's really good fun, a bit different and you get lots of free massages as your fellow classmates need someone to practice on. While it is a wee bit more 'aggressive' than the types of massage more common back home, it's a really good all over massage and seriously hits those spots. Hopefully I'll get enough practice in between now and coming home so I won't forget everything for you guys!
