Battle of the Bay

Congrats to our MMT community members Rockintaco and Matt Lucas on their fights this past weekend. I know a lot of our members fight, so if you’ve got a fight coming up and you want me to plug it, drop me an email.  This post is by Matt, if you remember he did a post for us on his fight in Pattaya.  Enjoy.

He gave me a hungry look. A carnivorously hungry look. I wondered if he had practiced it in the mirror before the bout, maybe it was part of his regular exercise regime, I thought as the referee gave us our last second instructions.

I was hungry the day before. I woke up at 7:40 am with a few pounds ofanxiety weighing on my brain and sadly my body. Slipping on my sauna suit, a hoodie, and some sweat pants I went out on a morning jog. The

On a side note Matt’s got an upcoming fight in the next couple of weeks…. Choke dee Matt.

Ten Words to Know for Training in Thailand

By Matt Lucas

Going to Thailand is a big step for most Nak Muay from other countries. While you can do the same amount and level of training at home you won’t get the same cultural experience being in Thailand and you won’t get the same level of training partners.

Preparing for your trip is crucial. On your list of tasks prior to leaving should be to learn some Thai.
