Interesting video series behind the scenes at Phuket Top Team in Thailand following a 13 yr old boy and a veteran fighter/trainer. Worth watching:

Watching the first video. Its quite a difference, how some of us would love to be able to spend that much time a day training, and how some, like the kids, do it to help their families.

I've just started on the 3rd video. Pretty interesting seeing things from the perspective of the fighters themselves. Though crazy how young they start them for full-contact pro fights.

Yes, crazy, indeed. Quite a different cultural outlook.
