Business with pain.

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

In desperate need of sun, fresh air and exercise, I cut a deal with a Phuket Muay Thai Camp.

SEO for a place to stay and muay Thai training.

So I caught the night train to Surat Thani, and then bussed it to Phuket.

In Phuket I met Aaron Fisher who was running the camp.
Training with a cage fighter and kick boxing champion was intense. By far the best exercise I’ve ever done. Thought the heart was going to pack it in at one stage.

The other guys at the camp were all much harder…..ex military….sports men…pikeys…….all bearing tattoos….
I avoided eye contact…….

Running kilometers at 7am, jump rope, push ups, bag work, push ups, sit ups….all supposedly good for the health.

I asked one of the trainers if she saw champion potential in me?

She thought for a second…….”No”…….WTF?

Hoping to make it back some time.

Some Video Below.

This mix is kind of experimental.

Contains heaps of clicks and pops and distortions. Just think of it as character. Like in the old days.

But people assured me he was well known. Apparently so.

Here’s the wiki.
