The Cutting Edge strand enters the competitive and sometimes obsessive world of child Thai boxing, focusing on four families who are investing everything into making their kids the best young fighters in Britain.
Children as young as four or five are becoming the latest recruits to organised fighting, where some people’s attitude is that if you’re good enough to fight, you’re old enough. The programme follows five primary school children: Miah and her twin brother Kian, Thai, Connor and Sohan.
The documentary looks at the extraordinary fitness regimes undertaken by some of the children, and hears from the parents who are passionate about the positive effects that Thai boxing has had both on the kids themselves, and on their relationships with them.
