I am a Muay Thai fanatic with a CV that includes 4 world titles and a PhD in Neuroscience. I was first introduced to Muay Thai in my early twenties—around the same time as the undertaking of my doctorate. By no means athletic in my youth, I was motivated to try out my first session after resolving to lose weight—from then onwards I was hooked. After a few years training in the UK, my passion for Muay Thai took me to Thailand in 2006, where I trained at gyms in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, including—for the past 4.5 years—Eminent Air Boxing Gym. I ended up spending 6 years in the land of smiles (unfinished business!) and had some amazing experiences both in and out of the ring. Currently in my home country, I remain an avid follower of all things Muay Thai-related. Please read my posts for musings on events and experiences in the world of Muay Thai.
