Episode IV of the well received Muay Thai documentary series, 8 Limbs: Life of a Nak Muay!

Presented by liverkick.com, Life of a Nak Muay has followed former national stadiums fighter Lucky, and 13yr old penniless Thai kid Yoduman who chose the sport over schooling. Then, a look at the culture behind watching live Muay Thai in the boxing stadiums, from the sights, the sounds, the gambling, the preparation, the mongkol...

Here is episode IV, focusing on foreigners or "farang" fighters - 9yr old Jon Vetle who came from Norway (where combat sports are banned) for his first Muay Thai fight (full pro-rules) and a cocky 19yr old American kid who came to live as a professional fighter in Thailand, with a degree of talent and ego in equal measure.

Enjoy!

Trivia; the guy in red shorts with lacklustr... ahem, awesome padwork is me. Mum, I'm famous!

Episode five will focus on the fighters featured here, as they are both in fight preparations, much like Lucky and Yoduman in the first two episodes. Stay tuned!
