In Chiang Mai plus Student profile

Got to Chiang Mai this morning. I spent 12 hours on a bus getting here from Khon Kaen. I had to sit next to one of the fattest Thais in Thailand. Some seriously obese 60 year old who was taking up half my seat and kept jiggling into me on every bump. There were a lot of bumps and my head kept hitting the window next to me. I left at 8 pm and arrived…

Songkran

I am going to start this post with some updates and announcements for Mixed Martial Arts Pakistan. I can say with almost 100% confidence that there will be a permanent training facility in Lahore come Dec/Jan. We have already started looking at buildings and thinking about locations. If anyone has any suggestions please email me. We are thinking that most likely the first training center will be in Model Town area. We hope to expand…

More training in Sor King Star

More training in Sor King Star

It’s almost 6 am, I got back to my room about an hour ago. I left at 7 pm. In between that time I watched over 8 consecutive hours of Muay Thai at a village festival out in the boonies. Yes, you read that right. Over 8 HOURS. I must have seen over 40 fights. Some of them between very young children, some between very old drunk men, some between former Lumpinee fighters and some…

Leaving Ubon

Leaving Ubon

I left Ubon Rachathani this morning for Khon Kaen. I caught the 12:30 pm bus. It took me 5 hours. Not too bad. Luckily the bus didn’t stop every 2 minutes (it stopped every 15) to pick some random dude off the side of the road, which is very common for non-luxury long distance buses here in Thailand. They’re sort of a mix between a long distance bus and a city bus. Its very convenient…

Tigers Gym Part II

So here’s part two about my visit to Tigers Gym. Before I get into that I’ll give you a quick update on the training at Legacy. I am still very pleased with the training at the gym. I finished my first full week there, minus the Monday I came back from the monastery. My pad work is improving to the point where I can now do 2 rounds HARD. Full blast. Start tiring out in…

Today I am going to write a little bit about my coming to Tigers Gym in India. I won’t write so much about the training today but about how I arrived at Tiger’s Gym in the first place. I think the first thing anyone should do even before reading any further or right after reading the entry is to go tigersgym.com. You can get all the info you need from the website along with pictures…

Past two days of training at Legacy Gym

Past two days of training at Legacy Gym

I went back to training yesterday afternoon at Legacy. I am probably going to stick to training once a day this week. I just want to be sure I ease myself in so I can start increasing the intensity of my training until I am doing at least 6 hours a day comfortably without getting too run down. I have found if you aren’t patient when getting into a serious training regimen (such as that…
