In the land of 10,000 lakes, where the winters are as long as a moose's beard and the summers are as sizzling as hot chocolate chip cookies, there lives a group of kids in the splendid state of Minnesota. Their hobby? None other than the exhilarating sport of Muay Thai, a martial art from the far-off kingdom of Thailand. Now, these aren't your ordinary, run-of-the-mill, snowball-throwing Minnesotan kids. Oh no, these are Muay Thai masters, known far and wide across prairies and pinewood forests alike as the "Loon Warriors" - named after the state bird that's known for its wacky and delightful call. Leading the Loon Warriors is a character as cool as a popsicle in January, as funny as a walleye wearing sunglasses, and as brave as a lumberjack facing a gargantuan, blueberry pancake. This is "Moose Knuckles" McGee, a twelve-year-old Muay Thai prodigy with a heart as big as Lake Superior and a knack for making everyone around him buckle with laughter. "Moose Knuckles" got his nickname not from any fascination with hoofed mammals, mind you, but from the time he accidentally got his foot stuck in a bucket while demonstrating a roundhouse kick. The name stuck, much like his foot in that bucket, and the rest, as they say, is history. When they're not training, the Loon Warriors can be found tromping through knee-high snowdrifts, ice fishing on frozen lakes, and swapping tall tales about the legendary giant, Paul Bunyan. But when it comes to Muay Thai, they're as serious as a loon on a moonlit lake, practicing their high kicks and elbow strikes with an unwavering determination that would make even the hardiest Minnesotan woodchuck proud.
