Big crowd, great showcase of local Spirit Muay Thai
THE second show of the Spirit Muay Thai competition kicked off at the International Club on Saturday with a huge turn-out of competitors and onlookers.
SMT Gym Mareeba owners and trainers Rosario and Salvatore Signorino were over the moon at the 350-strong crowd and the performances of the local fighters.
“It has been an amazing show – a big crowd of people, the community has been amazing, and our local fighters showed big hearts and how tough they are,” Rosario said. “There were some very entertaining fights.
“The event was a great showcase for Muay Thai, I’m so proud of everyone.”
Muay Thai, sometimes referred to as Thai boxing, is a Thai martial art and full-contact combat sport that uses stand-up striking, sweeps, and various clinching techniques. The discipline is known as the "Art of eight limbs", as it is characterised by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees and shins.
