Page 1 - Introduction
In the heart of Chiang Mai, a place where each day is considered a new beginning exists.
Every morning in the shadows of Wat Suandok, one of the oldest temples in Chiang mai, the Muay Thai Sangha School opens with Buddhist chanting followed by the daily practice of Muay Thai.
Kruu (Thai for “teacher”) Pedro Villalobos, a national of Spain who has studied the art of Muay Thai and Krabi-Krabong for more than 14 years explains “The real core of Muay Thai lies not in combat but in the balance between two elements, the body and the spirit”.
It was after becoming a monk he realized that in order to understand the art of Muay Thai, he needed to look inside himself to find it’s true meaning.
