One day in the future... maybe?
As many of you know, I like to work out and I'm an MMA fan. For those who didn't.... now you do! I've been to a few of the gyms here and have taken a lesson here and there. There are 2 really great MMA gyms here in the city that you should check out if you're interested, there's LA Boxing that will give you a heck of a workout and Lonestar MMA, which focuses more on the technical aspect of the different striking/grappling principles. But the reason I'm talking about this is there is something that I might try once I graduate. There's a place in Phuket Thailand (pronounced fookay....if you were wondering) called Tiger Muay Thai. They offer a months worth of training and have bungalos available on the gym grounds to rent for a month, all for about 22,000 Bahl, which ends up being about 700 dollars give or take. It is an incredible offer since my rent is 620 here. And the way I understand is that a month of training over there is worth a year of training over here since Muay Thai is basically a past time over there. The main draw back of course is having to go to Thailand and being a young naive American in a land I don't understand. But it is a very interesting option and one I'm going to be thinking about, I have half a year until I graduate so I have plenty of time to ponder it. Maybe I'll get somebody to sponsor me to vlog and document it so I could get it for free :P
