Being caught in a Thai prison can actually happen really fast; and life imprisonments are on the daily agenda. What can someone actually do if he/she gets imprisoned for 15 years? I don’t know the answer, but workout could be a nice pastime which lets you stay fit.
The traditional Muay Thai trains the entire body, enhances the metabolism and enables you to defend yourself. More and more prisoners in Thailand start to practice Muay Thai. Some prison directors then had an idea. The prisoners could fight against each other and later on against outsiders. They hold prison tournaments where the prisoners choose the best fighters who are then allowed to fight against Muay Thai fighters from all over the whole world. Since they have nothing to lose, they train as hard as possible, and sometimes, there jail sentences are even reduced.
The reason is that someone who trains Muay Thai might not have the time to commit crimes. The fights are quite exciting since many of them really have something down pat; and their cool Asian prison tattoos even emphasize the whole thing.
