Haha Gay dancing and music - are actually rituals dating back a few hundred if not thousand years, paying respect to ones Kru or Ajarn who are in the corner, it's also used as a warm up for stretching and for a display of balance, which helps the gamblers pick who they want to bet on first.
I'm not actually insulting Kickboxing, as I say when there are low kick rules and the kicks are used as offensive weapons instead of just to reach the prescribed quota of the rules, before they then switch to mainly boxing, I think it is a good fight, seen some very good kick boxing fights actually - my problem is the people who just seem to insult each other for no reason,
Paul, I know you well mate, and know you are mainly just winding people up who piss you off, within reason lol
My earlier post was a bit of a rant, but I stand by what I say that this silly bickering just makes us all look like childish knobs to anyone outside of both sports, and don't think it does us any favours - like I said lets all just concentrate on learning our respective sports as best we can, arrange the fights if you want them, and then let the results speak for themselves - I think it would make a good show, or series of shows to match thai fighters against Kickboxers, in each respective discipline, or how about match them against each other at each fighters discipline, agree on a scoring system - and then just have a fight - thai style vs Kickboxing and see who comes out on top - I won't speculate on results but would look forward to watching any fights like this, which might actually bring us all a bit closer and maybe respect each others sports a bit more.

Just out of interest, can anyone from the kickboxing community answer my question regarding whether there is a minmum amount of kicks that must be thrown in each round???

Also I believe the Golden belt team have something like this in place already that has a round of KickBoxing, a round of thai boxing, a round of Boxing etc, ( I'm not sure of the other disciplines involved )
