Welcome to The Real World
I’ve never taken fighting seriously. Yes the training I love, the brotherhood, the sparring, but fighting… So far I’ve been lucky, I’ve won a few rounds, lost others. I even got a few trophies. All that changed 2 days ago.
The Wakeup
On March 20th, I was scheduled to have my first amateur fight. 5 days before the fight, it got rescheduled. Admittedly I planned on just going in and having fun, so much so I didn’t realize I had a fight coming until 6 days before the fight.
The reality of getting beat down hard is a rude awaking. Realizing you were no where near ready to fight because of laziness is another. Watching Videos of Muay Thai fights was all it took to understand I had to do one thing: Train like hell.
40 days of training
I have 40 days till my match, with a promise of better fights if I do well. While 40 days won’t turn anyone into an amazing fighter, it will help me become a better one. 25 mornings of Muay Thai, 5 evenings of family sparring, and in the end one outcome. You either win or you win.
Muay thai highlight of Samart Payakaroon
Tony Jaa is the greatest martial artist I have ever seen. If you like this video, then you DEFINITELY have to see Ong Bak & Ong Bak 2!! Of course, like all other martial artist movie actors, he does his own stunts as well. Makes your jaw just drop thinking about that while watching this…

IFS Fights last weekend at Knott’s Berry Farm Hotel.
Not cool at all. I wanted the little brown man to win.
Where her enemies perspiration and blood is a sign of her hard earned victory. She doesn’t want to admit it but this is what she really misses…
“The blood was all over him and I could see it. But do you know, when you see blood on another man’s face in the ring, you only think of it as something good. It means you are beating him. It gives you a lift. You punch harder. There is time to be sorry afterward.” - Ingemar Johansson
Why did I stop?
Movie trailer for Chocolate, and no, I am not talking about the romance movie featuring Johnny Depp and a caravan full of gypsies.
‘Chocolate’ stars newcomer Nicharee “Jeeja” Vismistananda as an autistic girl who learns how to fight both by absorbing her martial arts skills from what she sees on TV and from the Muay thai boxing school next to her home. When she finds a list of debtors in her sick mother’s diary, she decides to go collecting. Her quest leads her to confrontations with criminal gangs and also her father, a member of the Japanese mafia.
