I was already practicing martial arts when I was 13. On the cover of a magazine I came to see a boxer with bare feet wearing shorts like I had never seen before. The fit was wide and with almost a knee length. It was embroidered with letters from another world and shiny bright colors. I perceived it to be something from a superhero outfit.
All these details made me curious and I tried to find which combat sport this was from. That’s how in 1981 I discovered Muay Thai (Thai Box), an ultra-violent sport which recently developed in France.
