Nong Thoom
Parinya Kiatbusaba or Parinya Jaroenphon (born June 9, 1981), more popularly known as Nong Thoom, Nong Toom or Nong Tum(Thai: น้องตุ้ม ปริญญา เจริญผล), is arguably the best-known kathoey (male-to-female transgendered person) in Thailand. She is a former Muay Thai (Thai boxing) champion and has also worked as a model and actor.
As a child, she was already aware of her gender-identity. After a short period as a Buddhist monk, she started to train as a boxer, and eventually joined a boxing camp in Chonburi. Her goal was to make enough money to support her poor parents and to pay for a sex-changeoperation.
Her public life began in February 1998, with a victory in Bangkok's Lumpini Boxing Stadium, the center of the Muay Thai world. The Thai media were understandably intrigued by the novelty and incongruity of a make-up wearing 16-year-old kathoey, or "lady boy", defeating and then kissing a larger, more muscular opponent.
Although the Thai government had previously blocked kathoey athletes from participating in the national volleyball team for fear of negative reaction from the rest of the world, the Muay Thai establishment embraced Nong Toom, and tourism officials promoted her as "indicative of the wonders to be found" in Thailand. Perhaps not coincidentally, Muay Thai had been in a several-year slump at the time, and Nong Toom had greatly revitalized both media and public interest in the sport, as shown by increased ticket sales and stadium revenue.
She was profiled in several magazines, and appeared in many Thai music videos. Subsequently, her public profile began to fade, but her bouts with a foreigner, as well as her trip to Japan to fight a Japanese challenger, kept her face in the news. By fall of 1998, there was little coverage of Nong Toom to be found in either the mainstream or boxing media.
In 1999, Nong Toom caused considerable publicity by announcing her retirement from kick boxing, her intention to become a singer, and her plan to undergo sex reassignment surgery. Initially she was turned down by some of the Bangkok surgeons she turned to, but then the surgery was performed in 1999 at the Yanhee Hospital.
Her story is related in the 2003 film Beautiful Boxer in which she was portrayed by real-life male kickboxer Asanee Suwan. The film won several national and international awards, yet opened to limited success in Thailand. She came to United States theatres in 2005. The film's director, Ekachai Uekorngtham, also wrote the solo performance Boxing Cabaret for Nong Toom which she performed in the summer of 2005 at the Singapore Arts Festival and later in Bangkok.
Nong Toom's life as a ladyboy is also part of the book Ladyboys: The Secret World of Thailand's Third Gender by Maverick House Publishers.
Her story was also included in Julina Khusaini's National Geographic documentary Hidden Genders (2003).
On February 26, 2006, Nong Tum made a comeback as boxer. She fought an exhibition match for Fairtex Gym's new Pattaya branch, re-dubbed Nong Toom Fairtex Gym, by fighting a 140-pound contest against Japan's Kenshiro Lookchaomaekhemthong. Nong Toom won by unanimous decision after the three-round fight, leaving her rival with a cut near his eye from an elbow in the last round.
Nong Toom was planning another exhibition bout for sometime in 2006 with a female boxer Lucia Rijker, who portrayed the lethal "Blue Bear" in the film Million Dollar Baby.
She had a prominent role in the 2006 superhero film-action film Mercury Man, playing the title character's transgendered sibling and demonstrating her kickboxing prowess on the villains. In 2006, she appeared as a guest star on SBS television series "World Record Pizza" and Rallarsving (Sweden).
On May 31, 2008 Nong Toom had a fight against Pernilla Johansson at Rumble of the Kings in Stockholm, Sweden and won by decision.
In 2010, Nong Toom will open a boxing camp "Parinya Muay Thai" in Pranburi, Thailand which she will co-own and run with American actor/writer Steven Khan.

WAI KRU
ไหว้ครูรำมวย
Wai Kru é a demonstração de respeito e gratidão que o aluno presta ao Mestre.
"Wai" significa prestar respeito enquanto que "Kru" significa Mestre. É praticado pelo lutador antes dos combates mas também uma vez por ano os alunos mostram o seu respeito pelo Mestre numa cerimónia de nome "Yohk Kru"
Ao realizar o Wai Kru o aluno para alem de prestar o seu respeito ao seu Mestre também procura protecção de Buda para o proteger no Combate e para ter uma luta justa. Depois do Way Kru o lutador realiza o Ram Muay que muito semelhante a uma dança, são movimentos lentos de boxe com uma forte cultura e tradição impressos pelo Mestre que o ensina. O Ram Muay ajuda o lutador a afugentar o medo do seu coração.

Muay Thai - Rituais antes do Combate
Quando os lutadores entram no Ring, por tradição, são vistos a usar um Mongkon na cabeça e o Pong Malai á volta do pescoço. Mas afinal de contas o que são estas "coisas"...
MONGKON ou MANGALA
É uma banda de cabeça que, geralmente é ganha pelo lutador. É utilizado para representar o Ginásio pelo qual o lutador está a combater. O Mongkon nunca é propriedade exclusiva do lutador. Pertence ao Ginasio. Como por tradição os lutadores não podem tocar no Mongkon, este é-lhes colocado e retirado pelo Kru (Mestre) ou treinador. O Mongkon serve para lembrar ao lutador que está no Ring a representar o seu ginásio.
É uma grinalda feita de flores que o lutador usa à volta do pescoço quando entra no Ring. Geralmente é dado ao lutador pelos seus amigos ou fans como um gesto de boa sorte.

PONG MALAI
É uma grinalda feita de flores que o lutador usa à volta do pescoço quando entra no Ring. Geralmente é dado ao lutador pelos seus amigos ou fans como um gesto de boa sorte.
RING
Quando o lutador entra no Ring, passa sempre por cima das cordas deste. Nunca passa por baixo ou pelo meio das cordas. Isto é valido tanto para entrar como para sair do Ring. É uma superstição ligada á cultura Thai. A cabeça de uma pessoa é a parte mais importante do corpo, praticamente um objecto sagrado, já os seus pés são considerados sujos. Sendo assim, um lutador entra no Ring por cima das cordas tendo sempre a sua cabeça acima do corpo e nuca abaixo de nada.
Quando entra no Ring o lutador dirige-se ao centro e presta os seus respeitos pelos quatro cantos do Ring, á audiência que o veio ver lutar.
Partido do seu canto e andando no sentido dos ponteiros do relógio, anda á volta do ring com a sua mão direita por cima da corda mais alta do Ring selando o mesmo. Este acto representa uma declaração ao adversário. "Agora somos apenas eu e tu".
Depois de selar o Ring, posiciona-se no centro, de joelhos em direcção á sua terra Natal ou Ginásio e realiza o Wai Kru. Tanto O Wai Kru como o Ram Muay falaremos noutro post.
PAPRACHIAT
Os Lutadores usam por vezes, uma corda à volta dos biceps chamado de Paprachiat que significa amuleto de boa sorte. Normalmente é dado ao lutador pela família ou Monges. Crê-se que teve origem na era Thai Medieval quando os soldados se encontravam em cenário de guerra usavam à volta dos biceps uma corda feita de tecido da roupa dos seus familiares ou da sua companheira.

Entre 1238 e 1408 a capital da Tailândia estava situada em Sukhothai. Devido a guerrilhas constantes com os países fronteiriços levou a que os soldados de Sukhothai aprendessem novas capacidades de combate aprendendo a usar técnicas de combate corpo a corpo.
