Mt. Hagen Market kickboxing in pictures | By Kalakai Photography

For the past month,  pictures of  kickboxing matches   at the Mt. Hagen Town Market have made it on to  Facebook drawing a lot of comments.  Last week, I went to  the market to see  what  actually happens there.  We shot some footage for a TV story.

These pictures were shot by #KalakaiPhotography a month earlier.

It looks a bit rough, but this is actually a Kickboxing club – CITY RATS KICKBOXING ASSOCIATION. 

They  don’t have a gym to train in and  the instructors  who are kickboxers themselves,  use what little equipment they have to train a group of kids many of whom come from broken families.
