Soldiers took instruction and punched and kicked alongside Thai champion Sombat Banchamek, or Buakaw as he is widely known in the country.
“For every US soldier who came to train in Cobra Gold, they also want to exchange and study our culture regarding Muay Thai, which is our national art,” Mr Banchamek said. The 42nd annual Cobra Gold exercises, a war games event, was attended by 7,394 personnel from 30 countries this year. “This stuff we need to know how to do and to learn from one of the best in the entire world,” said US soldier SPC Adam Castle.
“It’s been really great to learn some skills that we can take back and use in the future,” he added. REUTERS
