  • I was just like these kids. I used to train at Rawai Camp.

  • If you trained at Rawai Muay Thai in Phuket, you were nothing like those kids...

  • the most enlightening thing about this is again, the 'bubble wrap' reference. i'm not condoning this kind of burden on kids around the world, but our 'western sensibilities' also dictate to us that it's ok to let kids work themselves into a diabetic coma by the time they're 12 and live out their sedentary childhood on a sofa. it may not be apparent to us from our 'high and mighty' outlook on the world, but we're far more abusive to our kids becuase we honestly don't have an excuse.

  • Very good response and 100% correct!

  • It's the idiocy of Americans that is laughable here. I live in Thailand and these kids LOVE learning Muay Thai. Plus it's far less child abuse than allowing your fat American kid stuff his face with junk food in front of the computer all day long. Americans. Such fools sometimes.

  • Those girls are bad ass! You first world folks have everything served on a platter. Its not fair to judge these kids because this is the choice available for them, and if they do well they can make a good life for themselves. Or would you rather see them go into prostitution to feed themselves?

  • this is another prime example of American views being forced upon other societies, Yes this does show some of the bad parts of fighting in the world of muay thai in Thailand but I can take any sport in the world give me a camera crew and some interviews I could make basketball seem like its a mean sport that we force upon our black soicety lol

  • does anyone know where i can watch the full documentary?

  • No teeth guard because there baby teeth.

  • Yes they have mouth guards on, and if you train day in and day out, its not that big of an issue on top of that why dont they mention that they have weight classes and fight people at the same level this isnt a mismatch of any sorts football got more injuries...and if their families are poor you rather them work in sweat shops or sell sex or become good at a trade that gets respect and maybe one day make them a star and damn u.s.a needs muay thai instructors bring them over if you care! so much

  • Muay thai is thainland main sport, is a culture, is a life they live there. Not just a crappy martial arts, thats the way they live. Before people start saying things about other country, they need to learned the history background first.....

  • I really liked how they had some film maker as the primary source; a guy who knows nothing about Muay Thai. Terrible documentry.

  • normal american better then thou bullshit attitude. they should sell meth or join the sex trade in an HIV infested industry instead.
