I remember posting in here a long while ago about starting to learn Muay Thai. I think it's been 2 years since I've stopped regularly attending meetings. And one of things I set out to do when I left was join a Muay Thai gym. I wanted to anything really, go to school , smoke, drink, travel and I just happened to land on muay thai as one of the biggest passions I ever had for anything in my life.
The owner of my gym is a Thai and he has over 400 fights in his lifetime so I get a glimpse what the experience is like for someone who did this literally, his whole life, and the training he went through.
I have my first fight in 2 weeks. I never thought that I'd be doing this. And I never been so happy doing something. I just felt like sharing :)
And to think the WTS never wanted me doing this.
