nice info, Laos is getting better and better

Laos always had talent. It was always there. Laos was closed off for so long until recently. That's why we never had a chance to show people just who we are. When they held the 1st Asian Martial Arts in Bangkok, we made our presence felt right away.



Whether it's Taekwondo, Kickboxing, whatever, Laos can compete with any country. Even without adequate funding, we still kick a.s.s. Believe that.
