martial ex-pat's: hope your not a bum.

Muay Thai shouldn't be confused with Tae Kwon Do. Not all Thai boxers thrash their bodies to smithereens when they're young. Many take care of themselves and are teaching in their late 60s. I think that many Westerners regard Thailand as this hick outpost in which the yokels will buy almost anything. I went to many yoga schools - all of them owned by ex-pat Westerners - that taught pathetic amalgams of New Age hippie dance, bad physical therapy and warmed-over bullshit. Come to think of that, you can find that in India, too, particularly among Indians "trained" by America's princess of pseudo-yoga, Shiva Rea. It's hard to fake Muay Thai in Thailand, though.

I'm with Matt. My money's on the Thai boxer.

Luckily for me, he'll be dead by then, most likely.

Cheng Man Ching - 72
Yang Lu Chan - 72
Sun Lu Tang - 72
for comparison:
Yodtong Senanan - 75
Gene LeBell - 82 and still rocking

Maarten,

See! I told you sarcasm doesn't work here!

But you wouldn't listen.

In the other thread you said that out of all the people and countries that Chinese people were the worst, for using sarcasm all the time?

I was dating this Chinese girl for awhile, and looking back on it now, that would help to explain a lot! Like -

sarcasm is the lowest form of humour - or the highest- I can never remember which one.
