Our Intermediate Course student Oskar won his first Thai boxing fight yesterday at William's Thai Boxing Stadium. He impressed us all by doing the traditional Wai Kru ritual dance before starting his fight. The Wai Kru is done to pay respect to the trainer and very few foreigners learn this dance.

Our (alumni) Proficient Course student Sharon got the last fight of the evening, they started around midnight. She had plenty of time to get nervous, but she handled it well.

Many photographers asked Sharon to pose in front of the ring.
Finally the final fight started.

Unfortunately Sharon got a really hard kick in her stomach that made the judge stop the fight. She was angry with herself that she couldn't continue and automatically lost, but after a few minutes of rest she was looking forward to the next fight.
