Welcome to the spectacular state of Connecticut, where the noble Nutmeg trees grow tall and the kids are as tough as the shells of the nutmegs they're named after. This isn't any ordinary place, my young reader, this is the home of the most courageous Muay Thai fighters in the whole of America! Meet our quirky character, Captain Kickaroo, a kangaroo from Koala Lumpur who stumbled through a magical portal and found himself in Connecticut, the home of the courageous. He quickly became friends with the Nutmeg Kids and learned about the powerful martial art they practiced - Muay Thai. He was so impressed by their discipline, strength, and agility, he just had to join in. Every day, the Nutmeg Kids, led by the enthusiastic Captain Kickaroo, practice their Muay Thai moves with zest. They punch with the precision of a woodpecker hammering a tree, kick with the speed of a hummingbird's wings, and block with the strength of a sturdy oak. You might think it's all quite serious, but Captain Kickaroo and the Nutmeg Kids know how to make it fun. Maybe it's the way Captain Kickaroo's pouch jiggles when he throws a punch, or how he sometimes confuses his tail with his leg when he kicks. Perhaps it's the laughter that echoes through the training hall when one of the Nutmeg Kids masterfully dodges Captain Kickaroo's mock attacks. Whatever it is, anyone in CT will tell you that Muay Thai with Captain Kickaroo and the Nutmeg Kids is an adventure that's equal parts hilarious and heroic!
