Thai boxing

The boxing equipment comes from Bangkok, capital of Thailand. Thai boxing, or “Muay Thai” to use the official term, is Thailand’s national sport. In Bangkok, thousands of spectators convene for the big stadium fights several times a week. “Muay Thai” is often referred to as “the art of eight limbs,” since it involves both hitting and kicking using hands, feet, knees, and elbows.
The boxing equipment was selected by Ali and Bilal, childhood friends from the area of Mjølnerparken, located right next to Superkilen. Bilal is a trained Thai, Kick and K1 boxer, and he has won medals at the Danish Championships in all three disciplines. Together with Ali and the artist group SUPERFLEX from the Superkilen advisory board, he traveled to Thailand to import some Thai boxing culture to Superkilen.
