National Geographic: One Man’s Fight to Save Traditional Muay Thai
Korte documentaire van National Geographic over het gevecht van oud vechter Wisarut om het traditionele Muay Thai te behouden nu deze steeds meer ten prooi valt aan commercie.
Wisarut Wat Suksiriwararak is an old Muay Thai fighter from Pai in Northern Thailand. He now runs his own gym in Pai, passing down his knowledge of Thailand’s traditional martial art to both locals and visitors from around the world. Over the past few decades, the authentic practices of Muay Thai have slowly begun to fade away. This historic martial art now centers around financial incentives and entertainment as Thailand’s culture becomes increasingly commercialized. Filmmaker Marko Randelovic shows Suksiriwararak's fight to preserve the traditional aspects of the sport in his short film Fighter: The Legend of a Muay Thai Boxer.
