Rock’s BJJ Grand Opening

Rock’s BJJ Grand Opening

I trained with Toni for 2 years, earning my blue belt in that time before graduating from George Mason and…

Brazilian Jiujitsu seminar at K7 Kickboxing and Boxing Academy

With the constantly growing MMA scene in Pakistan and with all major cities producing fighters that are making a name for themselves, Karachi being the biggest city in the country had quite ironically been the furthest in MMA, it would be interesting to note that the very first BJJ seminar in Pakistan took place in Karachi, 2009 at Guru Gohar Gul’s (The S3) gym in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, but with the worsening conditions of the city over the…

MMA Fight to come?

MMA Fight to come?

One of the things I plan on taking advantage of while I am here is being able to fight in MMA. I have had three MMA fights before in Pakistan but I never really consider them fights that challenged me or gave me opportunities to assess myself and explore what I can do to make myself a better fighter.  These three fights have a total time of a little over 3 minutes with the first…

Yuth Pan Gym

Yuth Pan Gym

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…
