I was really looking forward to training at Phuket Top Team for a number of reasons.

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…

This place has been on my mind since it is affiliated with the World Muay Thai Council (WMC) which quite frankly is the only Muay Thai council that matters. For more information on Muay Thai “Federations” check out this post here which…

So finally, I am getting some time to sit down at a proper keyboard and wrote about some of my training so far. I have arrived in Cambodia via Ubon Rachathani where I trained at one of the top MMA gyms in South East Asia – Legacy Gym. Legacy Gym though small and not the most fancy gym in Thailand is most definitely a legit fighters gym. All the guys there were within the same…

It feels good to be writing about the same thing that actually was the mainstay of this blog from back in the day. For the ones that remember, this blog was mostly about my travels to Thailand and South East Asia, training in Muay Thai. Well, after almost two long long years, I am finally going back to spend the summer in the place that honed my skills. Right now my mind is ablaze with…
