Here is an event captured and editing together, to help you have an idea of Muay Thai is like currently in Canada.
It's humble beginnings starts with Ajahn Suchart, who turned 57 years old ,started working in kitchens and construction when first arriving to Canada.
With every winter that passed more students and fighters gathered to his North West Toronto gym
and now a few locations, multiple affiliations, dozens of fighters and thousands of students.
His dedication and daily drive to improve himself and his students is to
push Muay Thai to the center stage of the world; The Olympics.
"Ajahn’s love of Muay Thai is based on a full life journey. From a hill tribe village of Mae Hong Son, Ajahn Suchart has lived a life most cannot imagine. His experiences and struggles, challenges and successes provide him with a spiritual strength that goes hand in hand with his technical precision of the art." -siamno1.com/ajahn-suchart/
"Muay Thai has a long history in Thailand and is the country’s national sport." -bestmuaythaiaz.com/muay-thai/
"Muay Thai is referred to as “The Art of Eight Limbs”; and using eight points of contact the body mimics weapons of war. " -tigermuaythai.com/about-muay-thai/history
