Muay Thai Bones Podcast #4 – Sodium, Dieselnoi, Shame & Fear, Switching Stance

This is the 4th episode of Muay Thai Bones Podcast, filmed as Kevin and I are driving back from my 238th fight, in Trat. The Muay Thai Bones podcast is a sharing of how Kevin and I usually talk on our long drives across Thailand, inviting you to travel along with us! I hope you enjoy. We had a few technical difficulties with the camera overheating so this we supplemented with discussion from the coach in areas we lost the original conversation. So this one is part from the road, and part from when we got home. These are awesome

About Kaimuay Diaries – The Inside Look Muay Thai Documentary

We wanted to do something different. There are so many incredible but mundane things that happen at a more traditional, family-style Muay Thai gym in Thailand it sometimes feels like you can just point a camera anywhere and capture something special. Something that isn’t a part of everyday lives elsewhere in the world. So we came up with the Kaimuay Diaries concept. The idea was to just pick a topic and have Sylvie just run the camera, letting things unfold. We didn’t want a super edited, “let-me-tell you” film style. We wanted things to just kind of be. Almost home

Energy, Mental Clarity: Upping Your Sodium | 1+1 Keto

One of my favorite things about the Ketogenic approach is that it’s all about what works or doesn’t work for you. All of us are genetically different, taking an extreme approach in diet to maximize certain benefits will affect people differently. In Thai there’s a phrase, “if you don’t try, you won’t know,” and that’s basically how I approach all of this. You turn yourself into a test-kitchen, or a lab rat, in order to figure those things out. Of course, what exactly you want to experiment with comes from lots of reading and gathering of information first. One of

Expat Life, Power Lifting, Muay Thai and Freedom | Emma Thomas Interview

I’ve known Emma for a number of years now and we’ve become very good friends. She lives in Bangkok and I live in Pattaya, so we don’t get to see each other in person often, but every time we do it’s wonderful. Mostly because I just like Emma a lot. We keep in touch regularly, so I know what’s going on with her and she with me, but because our visits are spaced apart, the ways in which both of us have changed can be quite dramatic at each of those meetings. That, in itself, is very cool. In this

Toward Muaythai in the Olympics – IFMA Stephan Fox Interview

Muaythai in the Olympics – where are we at? Any chance to talk with Stephan Fox, the General Secretary of IFMA and director of the two-decade long process of trying to get Muaythai into the Olympics, is an amazing opportunity. I’ll admit that the first time I ever went to meet him, I was not sold on Muaythai in the Olympics – it felt like it would be a watered-down version of a sport and art I love a great deal and respect beyond measure. While I still have concerns about what changes are required for this inclusion, I realized

My New Podcast! Muay Thai Bones #1 and #2

Kevin and I are doing a thing! I had a great time podcasting with my friend Emma Thomas in our “Two Ladies in the Kingdom” podcast, but sometimes it was hard to arrange it all on Skype – Emma and I both have very busy schedules that don’t always match up – so Kevin and I for some time were thinking that maybe we could do one ourselves. I mean, we occupy the same space all the time. We talk and think about the same things, all the time. We have amazing, in-depth conversations about Muay Thai multiple times per

Interview with the Late Sirimongkol Looksiripat – Fighter of the Year 1972

above, enable Closed Captions for English (CC) – 10 minutes of my interview with the great Sirimongkol, you can watch the full translated interview by supporting the project here. One of the things I’m trying to do with the Preserve The Legacy Muay Thai Library project is to create more interview opportunities with legends of the sport. It’s a chance for the world to hear directly about the lives of past stars and to let them speak for themselves. This involves not only being able to sit down and talk with these amazing men, but also arranging and paying for
