Thanks for looking!

What are the Ultimate Warrior arm tassle things all about with kickboxers? See them on loads of kickboxers but no idea why they're there

[ultravista]

I'm not sure, it may be a Thai thing.

[CSL]

Gonna try and psychically call The Mask to this thread, maybe he knows

Makes the biceps look bigger.

[ultravista]

Got it.

[CSL]

Surely it can't be that obvious? Figured it'd be something to do with 'tradition' or some shet

It's definitely some sort of tradition to Thai kickboxing and I assume it's just been adopted by most modern Thai boxing practitioners. No idea what it actually means though. :o

[ultravista]

I'll try to find out - if anyone knows, please chime in.

[The Mackem]

And let you take credit? Fat chance!

[The Mackem]

They are probably for good luck

[The Mackem]

I want the credit if this is true on all forums that you have posted these pictures at.

[Super V]

They are what I said they're for. Seriously.

[ultravista]

The arm and headbands are for luck?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

The headbands called a mongkol and the armband is called a prajied, and yes - they are for good luck.

[ultravista]

Good to know, thanks for the update.
