Kick Boxing - Muay Thai

Chris practices for an upcoming fight by sparring with his trainer, who is much bigger and can loose his temper in the ring. Christopher Kwiatkowski is a real estate manager and developer by day, and a Muay Thai fighter at night. After winning his last several fights with knock outs, he is building a local folowing as an amateur, and may turn pro. Muay Thai is a traditional South East Asian martial art that allows fists, knees, and elbows in the ring. At the Church Street gym in downtown New York, Christopher prepares exhaustively for each fight, making sure to be in prime physical condition. (Photo by Andrew Lichtenstein/Corbis via Getty Images)
