The Rewind vol. 2 – Post-Turkey Day Muay Thai News!

So I hope everyone had their fill of holiday delights during the Thanksgiving festivities, because I know I did! I stuffed myself with more holiday fare than Kristy Alley at an all you can eat buffet. So far I calculate total weight gain to be in the realm of 15 pounds of turkey, fried chicken, macaroni & cheese, mashed potatoes and so on.

So as beautiful as the supposed story of Pilgrims breaking bread with Squanto and the Patuxet tribe is, all I have to say is damn you Thanksgiving for my distended belly and heartburn! But enough about me and eating until hating myself because this past week was full of quality Muay Thai events all over the world. From the UK to Dubai, some of the world’s best nakmuays were kicking, punching, kneeing, and elbowing their way to some big wins during some big fights.

Also we have decided to add a couple of new article series to the MTL website. One such series will be the “Product Spotlight” series, which will review Muay Thai related products that we have tested and recommend you get your hands on. Of course, as you can already tell, the first product in our spotlight was none other than the now ubiquitous (at least within the Muay Thai community) Namman Muay. Take a look at our article and also check out the promo that we (Erive Productions and Luka Photography & Design)developed for Namman Muay. So without further ado, here are a couple of the top stories from the Muay Thai world. – This weekend, Bad Company Gym’s own Jordan Watson will face off against Shinya Ishige for the ISKA Super-Welterweight Muay Thai title at the Doug Ellis Center in the UK.
