Why, oh why, if this episode is centred on muay thai do I hear shamisen?

@MaistrePathelin there is no weird-assed Japanese string instrument in this show. Why, oh, why do you ask such strange questions?

Great guest Antonio. Good work.

As you said Muay Thai is love, heart, courage and compassion.
