The Knee

The true Muay Thai elite begin their training very young, usually around the age of one, when the fledgling warrior is able to stand on his own. From then on every action they take is designed to hone self-discipling stamina or sheer power. It is not just honing your entire body into a weapon, it is honing your entire life into a weapon. For some reason Somchai alway had a favor for his right knee that he could not quite get under control. Ashamed of this obvious weakness Somchai spend a large part of his training in the wilderness of Thailand is search for that one place where the tranquility of nature would grand him the insights needed to find perfect balance.

When he had his inspiration is was not what he expected, nor did it come when he most expected it. On one of his expeditions Somchai stumbled upon some traps in the jungle. Knowing the danger they would pose to his training and the wildlife he carefully removed them. He did not realize, however, that the poachers were behind him. When Somchai was finished and turned around the poachers shot at him. At that instant, while the bullet was flying at him, Somchai realized that his knee was not a weakness, but a strength. Realizing this he immedeately used his knee to block the bullet.

Back home in the city everybody was now not only laughing at him for still favoring his knee, but also because he got shot at and was hit. Not being able to stand the taunts anymore he fled to america, the land of opportunity. With his newfound powers he quickly became the super Heavyweight champion. It turned out to be an empty title: those that truly matter as a martial artist dont bother with the championships.

A youth spend honing aggression to the limit while being taunted had its toll. Somchai still has anger management problems. The occasional ring fight is usually enough to stay out of trouble, but the mere sight of guns is sufficient to produce an angry twitch. Taking aim at Somchai is a sure way to commit suicide. Since this is america, having a good lawyer means this is not really a problem. Even so, the cost for Lawyers is higher than his pay in the ring, so Somchai had to take a sight job as a bouncer. His contact consist of MTAA members, Lawyers and the occasional clover club member.

Somchai is not your typical Thai, he is very large and his extensive training produced a lot of muscle. He does have a slightly tinted skin and he is bald. Unless it is colder than 5 degrees he wears noting more than shorts. Even in deep winter he makes sure his trademark right knee is visible (with the bullet still in).

To remove all guns from the face of the earth.
