The rise of Pakistani Boxing

The Pakistani boxers also lack necessary equipment and other facilities which have made the other countries leading boxing nations of the world. More surprising is the tact that the Pakistani…

Pehlwans and MMA – Lessons from Inoki vs Akrum

While doing some research on the wrestling history of South Asia. I suddenly remembered a conversation with my uncle that I had a few years back. I had just started out grappling and was telling him about it and he asked me, “Do you know the Inoki lock?” I said I did not. He showed me a lock using his fingers, I don’t remember what it was, it’s not important but what I do remember…

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…

Cambodia

Cambodia

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…
