Finally! Internet Connection!

Finally! Internet Connection!

Well I finally have an internet connection I can hook up to my laptop. I’ve been back for about 4 days now and the town is quite different in the summer time. It’s usually a small quiet town but it seems deserted now. Everyone and anyone who has time and money for a vacation is getting out of here. What that means for me is that I am now left with only a couple students…

In Pakistan

In Pakistan

I arrived in Pakistan last night. I will be in Lahore for the next two days before heading out to my hometown near Faislabad. It’s hotter here than I am used to being in Pakistan but its not that bad really. The bad part of the heat is that the power is out up to 18 hours a day in some places, making getting away from the heat to even a basic fan impossible. I…

To Pakistani’s wishing to help with the Project

I’m extremely happy with the progress that has been made since I launched the site. I have created a central online area where people can link with myself and in turn each other, Pakistani’s interested in Mixed Martial Arts can now stay informed about what is going on and I am getting regular emails from Pakistani’s living in Pakistan, America and the U.K. These emails are always very enthusiastic and the sender always wants to…

Paddys Gym

Paddys Gym

I first saw Paddy’s Gym on the show “Human Weapon” on the history channel. I then became interested in coming over to Cambodia and training in the Cambodian style of kickboxing known as Pradal Serey and sometimes called Bokator, although from what I understand Bokator is the ancient style, similar to Muay Boran or ancient Muay Thai as can be seen in Ong Bak. Since I would be coming to Thailand I figured I would…

I stayed three days at Kaewsamrit. In the end this is how I could sum up my time. I got a chance to train around some of the best Thai fighters, with some very motivated farang students in a camp where I was made sure to stay busy and try to stay at a hard pace the entire time. Being around good fighters is a big bonus because you get to see the best of…

Kaewsamrit

Unfortunately as I was editing this post the first few paragraphs got deleted. A reminder to never use a public computer for this blog again. Heres a summary of what I wrote. I arrived at Kaewsamrit at 12 am and got shown to my room. I was staying in a basic room with fridge, dresser and fan three houses down from the gym. Kaewsamrit is located in a quiet neighborhood slightly outside of Bangkok but…

Back in Chiang Mai

Back in Chiang Mai

After the fights at Wat Chan two weeks ago I have been training very regularly and at a good pace. I was getting bored of the day in day out routine of training, eating and sleeping. Luckily, I have to go on a visa run and I have decided to spend a week in Cambodia. I will go check out Angkor Wat for two days and spend the rest of my time training at Paddy…

Wat Chan

Wat Chan

After my fight I took it a bit easy for the week. I didn’t train for 2 days and then for the three days left in the week I would only train once a day. I started getting back into training the week after (one week ago) and I ended the week very well. I can tell that over the next few weeks before my next fight I will improve even more. I’m excited, I…
