Although it feels like only a week, we have been in Thailand a month now and will be completing four weeks of muay thai training on Sunday. It hasn't been easy, and there have been times where we just could not be bothered to wake up at 6:30am in order to sweat buckets and possibly pick up a few bruises (in Tom's case a couple of cracked ribs), but it is really nice to be back in shape. Now all we have to do is maintain the feeling of being fit and healthy again.
Tonight we'll be attending out second fight night. Two weeks ago we headed down to the makeshift Bangala Stadium in Patong (the actual stadium on the crazy street of Bangala is in need of some renovations) in order to see four fighters from Rawai take on their opponents.
The night ended well with wins for two Irish guys and one of our trainers. The only loss was a young boy who although we all thought he deserved the win, ended up losing by points.
This evening's competition is taking place right outside of our gym. They have set up a ring under the coconut trees and a number of fights will take place with the money going to a local charity.
Difficulties with the computers (yet again) have caused problems uploading photos. I do promise some soon.
