There was nothing much on the first episode. Mostly, it is about introduction for these fighters. The fight was Trevor (Canadian) against Naruepol (Thai). I have to say this was not a good matched. Naruepol has much more experience and skill. There was no doubt because he started fighting since he was very young.
If you already know what it is, you can skip this post.
The Contender Asia is the reality game show that contain 16 muay thai fighters form various countries. Each episode (week), one fighter will be eliminated. The role is simple. 16 fighters were split into 2 teams: red (the Tiger King) and blue (the Wild Boars). Each episode, the two teams will compete on the given game. The winning team can pick one fighter from the losing team and one from their for the fight.
At this moment, three episodes have been shown. I think this show is quite interesting and you guys should see it. From now on, I will be after this show and will try to put useful resources as much as possible.
Big thanks to Zach, one of the Contender, who introduced me into this.

MuayThaiStuff.com, KOMBAT and TUFF Boxing proudly sponsor World Muay Thai Championship 2007. We give our tank-tops to all fighters (approx 700 fighters) from around the world to wear when they fight.
At the recent World Muay Thai Championship event in Bangkok, we have a chance to take the photo of Buakaw at our shop. We were lucky to get his photo alone because, after he walked pass our shop and got in the stadium, he was packed with so many fighters and fans.
We have taken about 1,000 pictures from the event: World Muay Thai Championship WMC 2007. These pictures are taken at our boot (MuayThaiStuff, TUFF and KOMBAT stores), the ring side and general atmosphere from 27th November to Dec 4th.
For those who dont know, WMC is just like World cup for muay thai. More than 700 fighters from over 100 countries come to fight.
I have been doing Muay Thai business for years. One thing I have learned: Most fighters, if not all, love to wear the unique muay thai shorts. So, they asked us to customize and personalize the shorts according to their preferences. The problem was: It was difficult to communicate, design and manufacture. This leads to expensive and delayed production.
MuayThaiStuff.com and KOMBATGEAR.com, spent the past 6 months to develop this software. We really hope you will like it. If you have any suggestion or comment, we will be much appreciated.
In this introduction period, we offer 10% discount to all orders.
I am pleased to introduce our new blog: MuayThaiStuff’s blog. For people who visit our website before, you may know that we have already run blog since 2006. This one is the third blog system on our website.
What is a different? The first one is for our content and articles.
The second one is for our products
For both of them, we mainly use blog technologies (rss, feed,cms) to manage and optimize our big database. If you are familiar to blog, you may see that we were not “blogging”.
As such, this blog (the third one) will be mainly for blogging. What you will read here will be fresh and useful for Muay Thai. If any of you want to become our writers, just let me know
