I am certainly not new to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). I was first introduced to the sport in the fall of 2005 at my university in Fairfax, VA where I took it as a one credit course. Six months after that one credit class I started training properly (2-3 times per week) under Toni Passos.

These three fights have a total time of a little over 3 minutes with the first…

Like True Bee this gym has played a huge role in shaping who I am as a Muay Thai fighter. Recently, Sinbi Muay Thai…

I was really looking forward to training at Phuket Top Team for a number of reasons. One is that I love checking out new gyms to train at, I have trained at least 20 different Muay Thai/MMA gyms across Thailand, in every corner of the country and I love seeing what thing brings to the table.

So my last post was about Pinyo Muay Thai, in my opinion the best gym to train Muay Thai at in Koh Samui. Although I loved the place there was still one more gym that I needed to visit. It’s between Lamai and Chaweng beach and you will see it on the top of a hill on the left side if your heading towards Chaweng. It’s a brand new gym called Yuth Pan and its…
