So I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been aim way too low.  Maybe I need to crack an anatomy book sometime.

Anyway how irresponsible is this doctor?  Anyway, it’s kind of a long video but informative nonetheless.  Was anyone else getting annoyed by the fact that he kept calling it a Thai kick?  Your training MMA, what other kick is there? [Read more →]

One of the Buddha’s central themes was Annica, or impermanence.  He taught that all things change, nothing remains.

When I have conversations about this, people often comment on how depressing it all sounds.  I don’t tend to look at it that way.   I like to think that we should really seize our opportunities.  We should say the things we’ve always meant to say, to do that one thing you’ve been meaning to do.

I don’t know what it is, but it seems like hicks/rednecks (country folk) are the same everywhere you go. How do you come up with this stuff?  It’s got to be the booze and the boredom, those are the two constants in all every part of the world.

Thought I would leave you guys this week with some quality Muay Thai action.  This fight took place about 3 weeks ago, against the current Lumpini champion Singdam (black lion) 128 lbs vs. the 4th ranked Yodbuagnam (most beautiful lotus) 130lbs

Some of you may recognize the name Singdam…  His fight with Anuwat was voted fight of the year.  If I’m not mistaken Anuwat knocked out Singdam in the 3rd to snatch his belt. [Read more →]

I came across this yesterday, not sure what this is all about.  Not sure if it’s supposed to be a documentary or if it falls under the dubious docu-drama genre…

Not sure how they plan on distributing this… anyone out there want to send me a copy? I appears the film is a lead up to his fight and post fight with Yod in Jamaica.

My previous trainer Bunkerd Faphimai and Malaipetch are pretty tight, sort of the Thai muay thai mafia in California. [Read more →]
