Stop blaming the FBI
August 31, 2007 by nopstar · 23 Comments
I’m going way off topic here but oh well. Have you seen the latest news about Steven Seagal? Apparently he’s been in the press blaming the FBI for ruining his career. He claims that the FBI has accused him for having ties to organized crime and intimidating journalist who tried digging into his past.

Wow. You’re really going to demand an apology from the FBI? If they give you an apology Read more

This fight is a couple of months old, but I’m fairly certain most of you haven’t seen it. Whenever I get a chance to get home, I typically get a couple of sessions in at the Ingram Gym in Bangkok.

I first heard of Ingram, because they were the crew who first brought Buakaw into K-1 Max. My current Read more

Schwag: Duvide Jump Rope

My personal philosophy is that if you’re going to use something often, it’s okay to spend a bit more if the craftsmanship or “quality” is there. I ran across this today and thought I would share.

You’ve see the $100 mouth guards; well here’s the Duvide Jump Rope. I guess if you’re really Read more

We’re still about 2 weeks away from the WBC fights on September 8th. I’m really looking forward to these fights. I don’t think there has been a Muay Thai card this interesting in a long time. In that time I’m trying to line up some pre-fight interviews with Michael Mananquil, RaKarm Young and possibly Kaew Fairtex.
One of the guys I’m looking forward to watching is Ricardo Van Den Bos. Bos started training Muay Thai when he was about 12, his parents owned a Muay Thai gym in Holland. When he was 14 it they decided to send his ass to Bangkok to live and train.
Bos who’s now 22 currently trains out of Fairtex Pattaya. On the 8th he’ll be facing Read more
Sign the Contender Asia Petition
August 24, 2007 by nopstar · 10 Comments
Hey guys I just got an email from the guys at the Black Thaiger Muay Thai Academy. They’ve showed some initiative and have started a Petition to Get “The Contender Asia” televised in the states, well done.
I’ve checked out the site and read over their terms of service. Everything looks legit, they also have a box you can check to not display your name.
It literally takes 15 seconds to fill this thing out. I’m not sure if a thousand signatures will be enough to pique the interests of Mark Burnett, but you’ve got to start somewhere and every little step counts.
I don’t know about you but I would love to see The Contender Asia here in the States, It would really elevate the profile of Muay Thai in the States. My Muay Thai has got to be good for at least 100 hundred signatures… Come on guys.
Click here to sign The Contender Asia Petition.
Thanks,
Nopstar
