Putting on a show together with superstar Sudsakorn Posted by Saenchai on Thursday, August 10, 2017

Saenchai vs Sudsakorn in Kard Chuek demo at IFMA Muay Thai Youth World Championships

IFMA Youth World Championships was held from 3 to 11 August in Bangkok, Thailand. The highlight of the year for the young Muay Thai competitors followed a historic The World Games 2017 in Wroclaw where “The Art of Eight Limbs” made its debut in July. The list of competitors for the medals included over a thousand athletes out of 79 nations.

Alongside the battles inside three rings, numerous cultural activities were included in the nine-day program. Among everything, a conference dedicated to healthy life took its place, where doping, education and sport were discussed.

It all followed the opening ceremony that began with a display of Thai culture and dance. Moreover, renowned fighters Saenchai and Sudsakorn put on a spectacular Muay Boran display. The latter is also known as Kard Chuek, which is a style of fighting when instead of the boxing gloves, the ropes are used around the hand and forearm.

On Thursday International Federation of Muaythai Amateur posted a photo report on its official website. Late last week Saenchai shared a video from the event on his page on Facebook. “Putting on a show together with superstar Sudsakorn,” he wrote in the caption.

Both fighters are fresh of the win at Thai Fight Yala, held last month, where Saenchai took a decision against Chadd Collins, while Sudsakorn scored a nine-seconds one-punch knockout against Erik Massion. They are expected to make their appearance in Spain on September 30, battling out at Thai Fight Barcelona against the opponents yet to be named.
