MMA Pakistan is now facebook and Youtube!

We also just set up a YouTube account and have put up our first video. It’s a very basic Urdu instructional on MMA fundamentals, very basic for those familiar with MMA but very useful for those unacquainted with the sport. This is an introductory video and the videos that will come in subsequent months will be much better in quality and content. Thanks everyone!

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…

Back in Chiang Mai

Back in Chiang Mai

After the fights at Wat Chan two weeks ago I have been training very regularly and at a good pace. I was getting bored of the day in day out routine of training, eating and sleeping. Luckily, I have to go on a visa run and I have decided to spend a week in Cambodia. I will go check out Angkor Wat for two days and spend the rest of my time training at Paddy…

Wat Chan

Wat Chan

After my fight I took it a bit easy for the week. I didn’t train for 2 days and then for the three days left in the week I would only train once a day. I started getting back into training the week after (one week ago) and I ended the week very well. I can tell that over the next few weeks before my next fight I will improve even more. I’m excited, I…

5 days out

5 days out

Five days out from my fight. Training has been going very well since I last updated the blog. Last week was 80 percent intensity with a lot of sparring and technique. These past three days have been a lot of heavy boxing sparring and a lot of conditioning. I’ve been having these sparring wars with one of the younger trainers here named Charlie. Charlie is twenty years old and the youngest trainer here. To me…

Two Weeks Out

I thought I would write up a post on how my training is going since I am fighting in exactly 2 weeks Monday 18th May at Thae Pae stadium in Chiang Mai. This is my second full week training, the first week I trained four days. It’s going very well and my conditioning is improving very quickly. I have been very careful to make sure I don’t try and kill myself every day at every…

A few things

A few things

This is just to let everyone know that I haven’t forgot about the blog. The posts are being spaced out a little more than usual but that’s because I am now staying in one place and JUST training. It’s been exactly one week since I arrived at True-Bee and I already feel much better in my Muay Thai. I am training twice a day every day and my body is doing well. I still live…

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…
