Thai Boxing

This was Thai boxing, choreographed into a dance, that we witnessed during the Language Development Conference in Bangkok. I wasn't able to video the whole "fighting" session but I clearly remember that the fighter in red won in the end :)



The g-string and even the vest they wore looks eerily familiar hehehehe...

Aren't those Igorots who just happened to try Thai boxing?

...and the steps too, di ba? very familiar. theirs is just more elaborate and they have lots of variations on the movements of the hands.

g-string nga ba yun? kunak no kasla jay shorts nga us-usaren ni tatang ko idi no mapan agtalon! :-)

Traditionally, do they really wear those shorts?

Hi Mng Chyt, maybe they are :)

Naku sis, dapat pala pinuntahan natin ung mga sumayaw at baka mga Igorot na nagtatrabaho sa Thailand ehehehe...

Hi Mng Lovelyn, I don't know. I guess it would be awkward doing all those stunts without the shorts eh? :D
