Since I am in Thailand I had to try Muay Thai at least once. Signed up at a Muay Thai gym in Bangkok. 500 baht per hour. The trainer looked friendly and smiley. Thought the first day would be light just learning stances. But the trainer said lets spar and became my sparring partner himself. The trainer kicked my leg lightly
he said lightly) but it hurt so much my leg almost buckled. Purple bruises all over my shins. Could not walk properly for 3 days. Coworkers saw my bruised leg and asked who did you fight with. I said my teacher. Everyone laughed.
