It's impossible to talk about Muay Thai without speaking of the ingrained spiritual elements in it. We see it in the mongkol, the wai kru, the wai itself. And perhaps in why women are expected to go under the bottom rope in Thailand?
Helen Tran chats with the host, pro fighter and writer Angela Chang, to discuss the aspects of spirituality and Buddhism in Muay Thai. We dive into her experiences as a fight photographer and long-time resident in Thailand through the lens of her knowledge of the dynamic interweave of spirituality into fighting.
