There are many great things about the bay; burritos, fixed gear bikes, asshole hipsters, and Jongsanaan “The Wooden Man.” The latter is probably most interesting to fans of Muay Thai and fans should be even more excited because Jongsanaan is putting on a seminar with his old frenemy Sakmonkol Sitchuchoke. Their infamous bout, aptly named, “The elbow fight,” will be the heart of their seminar at Combat Sports Academy in Dublin California on July 30th at 5pm. The blow by blow seminar will not only focus on what the fighters were thinking about the time but will also be a hands on technique session. I’ll be there to learn how to get my dome smashed in and will be sure to let you kids know what’s up.

Born to a working class family in rural New York I grew up working like a dog and drinking Natural light in the woods. After a brief stint attempting to escape the poverty of employment via university I gave up on escaping the grind and moved to sunny California where the burritos are as generous as the weather. I work in the service industry slinging booze and food. I got into Muay Thai as a recreational activity. I saw an interclub fight and decided to try it out, everyone has to test their mettle somehow. A few fights and a year later I was in Thailand training, and fighting. I haven’t quit stepping into the ring since. I currently live in West Oakland and balance my time blocking punches with my head with attempting to prevent brain deterioration through writing, studying Thai; language, culture and history, and going to wild dance parties with my friends.
