Chapter 384: Playing Muay Thai
It's easy to come to Bangkok once, contact Tony Ja, and take yourself for a good walk.
After enjoying the special food, come to see the Muay Thai competition in the evening, the small place is crowded, the characteristic folk music rings in the ears, the fighters' passionate physical confrontations, the crowd thunders with joy and the referee announces the start or end of each round of the boxing match......
Ding Cheng knew at a glance that the level of the fighter was good, and every kick seemed to be full of the power to break the opponent's calf. As they attack each other, armbands fly, striking shorts and sweat-soaked muscles gleaming in the light.
Here, it is as if a person has become a fighting machine, and any part of the body is instantly transformed into an attack weapon. Use both fists, legs, knees, and elbows at the same time, and everything is full of original flavor.
Tonija is very low-key in his country, wearing a hat and sunglasses when he goes out, and introduced: "In ancient times, because of the lack of land resources, it could only be solved by force, so the people were very strong and martial, and later there was a black prince, who admired force very much. The martial arts were sorted out and summarized to form early Muay Thai, including punches, feet, elbows and knees, heads and many other moves, much like today's unrestricted fighting. ”
"Then we went to war with Burma, and the king of Burma sent boxers to compete with the captive Muay Thai fighters, and one of the masters defeated nine fighters in a row, which shocked Myanmar and the reputation of Muay Thai grew. ”
"It is an immutable truth that people are beaten before they are beaten. Especially in Muay Thai, the training is very cruel, in order to exercise the ability to resist blows, we will use iron rods to hit our arms and legs, we will also kick straw pillars with our feet, let others kick their legs in the ribs, and wrap cotton strips of lime slime around our hands, and self-abuse makes our ability to resist blows very strong. ”
Suddenly there was an uproar in the ring, and Ding Cheng was stunned in front of him, two women, wearing only underwear, their whole bodies were naked, you punched me and I kicked out, and they actually started fighting directly?
Tonija smiled: "In many remote mountainous areas, not to mention women, even children's lives are an alternative world full of blood and tears. Boxing is the only way out for many children from poor families, who start practicing at the age of six or seven, and don't even go to school. ”
"Training at five o'clock every day, doing at least a few hundred push-ups and pull-ups, running more than a dozen kilometers to practice endurance, hitting sandbags for hours, and having to fill my fists with calluses. ”
"In order to train the legs to be as hard as iron and stone, and as flexible as a whip, I practiced the leg pressing, slipping, and kicking methods, hundreds of times, and kicked the betel nut tree all day long, and there was a bang, so that the tree shook and shook, and the boxer's face was painless and he didn't care. ”
"At first, wrap a soft object such as sponge or cotton wool on the surface of the tree, and then do kicking exercises. As you get used to it, you can reduce the thickness of the soft object and finally you will be able to completely remove the bandage, which is as hard as a rock. ”
"When I was young, I sawed the stem of a banana tree into forty or fifty centimeters long, threw it into the air, and immediately kicked it with my foot, like a shuttlecock, to prevent it from falling to the ground. ”
"Because banana stems have a certain weight and hardness, they can not only practice the stiffness of the instep and the power of kicking, but also strengthen the accuracy and control of the legs, which can directly kick and break people's necks!"
After speaking, he seemed to recall some painful experience, and said with a depressed face: "I don't know how you practice?"
Ding Cheng laughed, looking at the men and women in the ring, every round of fierce fighting, at least five minutes, with only 30 seconds of rest in between, stand up and continue fighting. Looking at the fierceness in the woman's eyes is chilling.
"After psychological training and ring practice since childhood, they are good at emotional self-regulation, and they don't believe in any authoritative celebrities at all, as long as they are in the ring, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, they will fight with all their might, whether you are a boxing champion or not?"
The audience's emotions are getting higher and higher, the women in the ring are like beasts, blood is flowing, one party is beaten beyond recognition before admitting defeat, and finally two children actually came up......
At most, he is in his early teens, his thin body is covered with bruises, but his eyes are full of fierceness, and when the bell rings, they scuffle together in an instant.
"They all have coaches behind them, and they make money by boxing every day. Tony Jia said helplessly: "The poor family can't afford to support it, so they can only send it to the coach's house, life and death, training and fighting in the ring for several years, making money and supporting their parents." ”
In their eyes, children who practice Muay Thai are just tools used to make money, just like commodities on the table for people to choose betting. ”
I really don't like this kind of scene, I feel like there are still too many people in Bangkok for two days, and I just happened to go back to Koh Samui to participate in the annual full moon carnival.
Although I come for a holiday every winter, I haven't been able to catch the carnival, and this year I have the right time to see and see.
Facing Linsa to the east, this is the heart of Koh Samui's nightlife. Party experts from all over the world gather here, in addition to the largest full moon, there are also half-moon parties and quarter-moon parties, to put it bluntly, to find an excuse to get high!
Legend has it that the first group of tourists and the owners of the Paradise Chalet found the night of the full moon to be the most beautiful, so they held a party on the crescent-shaped beach to celebrate the full moon night, and since then tourists from all over the world have joined in the celebration, the bigger the more popular it has been.
Especially in recent years, when the moon rises against the sea on a full moon night, it is the best place to experience the bright moon rising from the sea, so hippies chose this place as the location of the global fullmoonparty.
It is known as the three major beaches of electronic music: Ibiza in Spain, Goa Beach in India, and Koh Samui in Thailand.
When everyone comes to the beach, it is crowded with people, and all kinds of skin tones are simply colorful. The most special thing is that everyone must be covered in fluorescent oil paint, and there are stalls everywhere dedicated to painting body paints for tourists.
Go as the locals do, find a so-called artist with small dreadlocks, start painting tattoos, and change into glow-in-the-dark slippers and bracelets, instantly transforming into the brightest star in the party.
The eyes are full of bikini beauties, hot and amorous, and those who dare to come here to play are all hi people, full of personality.
In front of each store, there are a variety of barrels and a variety of alcoholic beverages, mostly whiskey and cola, vodka and 7-UP, and mixed beers.
A barrel of beer is only worth 50 yuan, a whole barrel!
The music sounded, and now the most popular electronic sound, and the whole beach was completely boiling. Everyone wriggled and gulped on beer, no matter who they were or where they came from, and they were instantly intoxicated......
Especially when Ding Cheng took off his clothes, even if he wore sunglasses, his perfect muscles instantly became the focus of attention, if it weren't for Liu Wei and a few people, he couldn't wait to be eaten alive by the beauties!
"Fortunately, the old cadres are not very popular in Thailand, otherwise!" the little girl said proudly: "I won't come to Thailand to film, right? If the whole of Southeast Asia knows us, where will we go on vacation in the future?"
Su Yao patted the other party's little head and looked at Ding Cheng's back, don't say it, fortunately you didn't enter the market in Thailand and island countries, otherwise there would really be no place for vacation and shopping.
