Home Documentary A Fighting Legacy

This documentary chronicles the rise of the largest Muay Thai tournament in the Western Hemisphere, held in Des Moines, Iowa. It explores how the 700 year old martial art was brought to America by pioneer Ajarn Chai and how Pete and Pam Peterson built an international event from scratch. Through interviews and ringside access, it reveals a tight knit community where fighters share a bond of respect, discipline, and a shared purpose that defines their fighting legacy.
