Sport of kings

Muay Thai is the root of all kinds of Kick Boxing, Full Contact and K1.

Forbidden to women for a centuries for religious reasons and still far from the high profile championships, Women Kickboxing [ranking available] and Muay Thai is gathering more participants. Women's Kickboxing in Thailand is becoming a well recognised sport. Kickboxing is now well known in Europe and America but is also well implemented in Japan.

Muay Thai has very specific rules and codes from the athlets dress to colours and dimensions of the ring. Foul play is severely punished despite the aparent ruthlessness of the sport.

Goodbye Mr. Benenson

"In 1961, Peter Benenson read a newspaper report about two Portuguese students who had been arrested and jailed for drinking a toast to liberty in a cafe in Lisbon.

Outraged, he decided to look at ways of highlighting the plight of all so-called "prisoners of conscience" around the world.

From that inspiration Mr Benenson, who died on Friday [25th February 2005] aged 83, founded Amnesty International. "

Goodbye Mr. Benenson... Thank you.

Hope springs eternal :-)
