Bangkok's the very dangerous baby of five-time Muay Thai world champ Khunpon Dechkampu, who'll turn you into a certified ass-kicker in a Westside warehouse with a boxing ring, a dozen heavy bags, and a staff of five pro fighters/trainers who've mastered everything from boxing to Jeet Kune Do, Kali, Silat, Judo, and Sambo, plus Greco and Freestyle Wrestling, in case you ever have a "battle" with Captain Wu Albano. Muay Thai classes utilize eight points of contact (meaning both fists, elbows, knees & legs), and show you how to perform moves like the Double Elbow Chop, the forward-jumping Flying Knee, the diving Cobra Punch, and the leg-dropping Axe Kick, also what Paul Bunyan went on whenever he wasn't obsessing over Babes. You can also develop ground skills with No-Gi ("no uniform", hence less material for enemies to grab) Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which emphasizes opponent control, takedown, and submission, and focuses on grappling while on your back, chokeholds, and the "Compression Lock", in which you push your rival's muscle against a hard bone, and if you're a gentleman, call the next day.
