08-07-16 Muay Thai

Friday 8th July 2016

In certain parts of Thailand, kiddies as young as four are entered into Muay Thai or kickboxing tournaments. Erroll sent me videos and photos of the kiddies merrily sparring and enjoying the fitness when he was there training in February. It’s more for fun and comraderie than serious competition at that age, and it’s an agility sport we will consider for Kingsley if he shows desire to pursue it. After all, we could accompany Erroll on his annual Muay Thai training camps in tropical Phuket if that’s the case. And nab a holiday in the sun along the way!

Kingsley’s closet is filled apparel designed for the budding martial artist. He’s not yet worn the t-shirts, shorts, socks or singlets Erroll lovingly selects from the training camp gear shop each year he travels to Phuket, so this week I decided to get our boy into the kit and look at what the next generation Muay Thai champion will look like…
