Muay Thai Documentaries and TV Shows – The Directory

Under The Ropes

There are lots of Muay Thai documentaries and TV shows out there, but discovering them and finding links to watch them online can be difficult. Here, I’m aiming to build a directory where you can find all of them in one place. The videos listed here are separated by type (documentary or TV series, and those based on child fighters have their own category).

Whoops!

The ole “snapping shin” injury is written off generally as a fluke or a freak occurrence.  The reality is that it’s no more of a fluke than a broken nose or some cracked ribs.  Not in kickboxing anyway.  And as the dominance of kickboxing not only in its pure form, Glory-type-events and Muay Thai, but also…
