I keep missing it! Determined to watch it tonight though,preferring this to the boxing one. Odd they called it kickboxing when it's muay thai, but suppose more folks have heard of kickbixng!
ITV 4 Monday and Tuesday- basically a load of thai boxers have to do challenges each week- the loser then has to fight one of the other team and whoever loses gets knocked out. Quite interesting and some good fights.
I watched the first ever series - brill show. I think Stallone genuinely believed at some point he was a world championship boxer! They used to go to clips of him working out and been like 'yeah these really help the punching' haha.
Great show though and its given opportunity to many fighters.

Er, am having a brain-dead girlie moment Pete! The one I saw last night didn't, but I have caught a few minutes of the ones you mentioned. Think they've changed the format.
Yes, Su Lin, its weird why they keep calling it that.

Sounds like the same format used in the old series of "Fight School", on Sky1 in the early 2000's - except that wasn't just muay thai, and the sparring was generally crap.
I am still trying to find a fighting series that Chuck Norris was involved in. It's a Karate based stand up and fight competition show. Can't seem to find it anywhere though.
Think this contender is worth a watch though, thanks for sharing the discovery :)

I saw this last Monday when I was ill and couldn't train. I thought it was okay, but won't go out of my way to watch it again.
Anyone else find the shifting camera angles and the music during the bouts annoying? It just seemed like something exciting was about to happen and then it didn't.
