I received an e-mail from my cousin last night about this amazing photography project about youths practicing Muay Thai and Boxing in Bangkok, Thailand and Havana, Cuba, respectively. I was really inspired how the photographer, Jason Ness, was able to capture what it takes to become a top competitor. Every athlete understands the amount of dedication and hard work they put into training; every sweat and pain, both physically and mentally they must endure.

From a different perspective, the photos also capture the personal hardships children experience everyday. Children in these countries need to help their families so the best way to do that is to fight. Here are some photos from Jason Ness. Check out his personal blog if you have the time at Jason Ness.
