There's a mystical, almost religious dimension to Muay Thai that I still don't quite understand, before the fight even starts, when the boxers present themselves and bow before the posts at the four corners of the ring.
I'll have to learn more about it; I don't know why, but it fascinates me.
On another note, I realized that some of my photos from my first fights at MBK, taken in a rush (I hadn't planned on stumbling upon any fights while buying t-shirts, and I didn't have the right lens or the ideal spot to shoot), are actually quite usable.
The one illustrating this article is from that shoot.
