Making a Thai Boxing Champion
■Summary
Thai boxing, or Muay Thai, is Thailand’s most ancient martial art. This martial art started to protect their country from invaders. Now, it is one of Thailand’s most popular sports. Almost everyone in Thailand loves it. Most of the boys are young and many come from poorer families. If young boy will become a great champion, for he and his family could lead to better lives and a higher status in Thai society. Therefore the Thai boxing is so important for the boys: “Thai boxing offers in their community, the opportunity to earn of being a champion one day. They are practicing so hard. It is not only about training bodies. They also have to prepare their minds and the way they think about the flight.
■Impressions
I do not agree this country system that if kids will become a Thai boxing champion they get a status in Thai society. I think family take advantage of exploit young boy’s ignorance. They train hard too young. It is as like a youth laborer. I have heard it is a common situation in developing country that children have to earn for family living. This situation seems like the government used by young boy’s pure hearts. In my opinion, this system makes love starved children. I wish they will not get badly hurt.
