Kungfu Master Challenges Buakaw, Tries To Change Rules Midmatch
We have quite a funny Kungfu vs Muay Thai match for you. On one side is a kungfu master (self-proclaimed) who decides to show his skills by taking on Buakaw Banchamek, a Muay Thai legend from Thailand. However, starting first round, we already have so many funny issues run afoul. This is one of those matches that makes you go, "What are we watching?" Let's analyze some of the footage, and make sure to watch til the end because I have some translations and analysis of footage from the live audience during the match! Leave your comments and let us know what you saw and what lessons you learned about martial arts and the world.
