These warriors aren’t ancient, neither they do war.
Yes, they might have the strength from their past but they stare deeply into each other eyes. Kids that are being put to test and taught how to fight for their lives.
These moments were captured in Bangkok, in January 2016, at the Lumpinee stadium where every week young fighters confront each other on the ring, with the enthusiastic support of their families, team and a crowd of avid for gamblers. The screams don't bother them, they have much more than money at stake.

Backstage of a Muai thai fight in Bangkok. This proud mum shows me a picture of her son when he was 15, son is now only 19 and is the one in the background getting ready for a fight. Later on that night, he managed to KO is opponent sending him straight to the hospital. Family pride just got bigger.
