I was originally scheduled to compete on November 26th, but about 10 days out, I found out I wasn’t on the fight card. No big deal—they offered me a fight on December 10th instead, and I accepted without a second thought. Read More
Today I want to tackle an issue I’ve never seen anyone cover: why cosntantly eating out in Thailand can sabotage your performance as a Muay Thai athlete. Read More
You could probably write a whole book on this subject, but I want to focus on just one: not thinking ahead. Many fighters are fixated on their next fight, and it’s easy to understand why. There’s a financial incentive—fight, get paid; don’t fight, don’t get paid. On paper, it seems straightforward. But let’s take a closer look at the reality. Read More
It’s been a while since I last released an installment of the Zero to Alpha Wisdom series. My original goal was to post weekly, but, as always, life had other priorities that needed attention. Without further ado, let’s get the series back on track. Read More
There are numerous misconceptions about training in Thailand. A persistent one is the belief that Thais never spar hard.

So changing gyms in Thailand could become a slippery slope where you old gym could threaten to block your career in Thailand. Read More
This month has been full of opportunities for me to return to the things I enjoy the most. This Substack is one of the things I looked forward returning to. It has been a couple of months since I posted the last Substack (read it here). After a couple of attempts to return to writing, something always popped up and that resulted in no content creation whatsoever. Read More
I had to write about semen retention/sexual transmutation since esoteric twitter still doesn’t understand. Nor do their followers.
Recently a lot of people have been making ridiculous claims online.
