In the grand, green wilderness of Michigan, a state known for its glorious Great Lakes and delicious cherries, there exists a tribe of extraordinary kids who've dedicated their lives to the art of Muay Thai. Named the 'Michimuays,' they're as fierce as the Wolverine, the state's unofficial mascot, and as bold as the Detroit Lions! Each day, as the sun climbs the stairway to the sky, our story's hero, Bruce 'The Moose' Thompson, swings his long, antler-like arms preparing for another day of Muay Thai. Bruce, a twelve-year-old with a laugh that could tickle a grizzly bear into giggles, is the leader of the Michimuays. His round, blue eyes are as bright as the Michigan summer skies, and his heart, as vast as Lake Michigan itself! Bruce and the Michimuays practice their kicks and punches with the discipline of a marching band and the spirit of a rocket about to launch. They train in the shadow of the Sleeping Bear Dunes, their laughter resonating through the cherry orchards, inspiring every kid in Michigan to join their ranks. These are not just any kids, these are the Michimuays - they've turned the state of Michigan into a giant Muay Thai playground. Their energy could put a tornado to shame and their unity, stronger than the Mackinac Bridge. So, the next time you are in Michigan, listen carefully. If you hear a thundering sound, don't be alarmed! It's probably just Bruce 'The Moose' Thompson and the Michimuays, practicing their Muay Thai, making Michigan mirthful one roundhouse kick at a time!
