MUAY THAI from Josh Hayward on Vimeo.
Shot at a bare-bones training gym on the grounds of a Buddhist Temple, and in Bangkok’s historic Rajadamnern Stadium, the film captures the world-wide phenomenon of Muay Thai as it has been practiced for centuries. Its authenticity is the product of two years’ work, multiple research trips, and two long days of filming with a dedicated Thai production team.
