Yeah,

He does this every year. (30 years) Literally every Thursday he gets on a plane, does a weekend Seminar and every Monday he gets on a plane and goes home to CA. He was doing this schedule pretty much when I met him back in 1983.

He doesnt really have a weekends off except for some holidays.

Cool - maybe I can attend the Philly one - thanks for posting!

Hey Tulsa,

Hows Sam doing?

5

Apparently, he's very busy and for good Reason. The Guy is AMAZING.

Hey Daredevil,

I'm just going on what I'm told. I think they left it as DC as to be in a general area.

But thanks for the clarification.

Just want the list of gyms, he he.

8

hmmm sorry to troll but Saekson Janjira > Ajarn

9

LOL No trolling Vengence, I've trained with Saekson, Matee, Bunkerd, Gunyao, Saksem, and a couple that escape my mind right now and I have never heard anyone call them, or them insist on anyone calling them Ajarn.

Chai turns 60 this year so I beleive he has earned the title, considering he has dedicated over half his life dispensing Muay Thai to the western masses.

TTT

eh I guess Im just loyal to my teaches teacher. And Chai is affiliated with a place I used to train at and am not very partial to anymore. I was groomed to be a thai pad champ....not a fighter. I felt like i was cheated for my money.

Matee is hella fun to watch. Super nice as well.
Im biased/ My apologies. lol

Vengence,

Understood, the MA's are full of stories like that. I've had my share for sure, lost a little money and some friends along the way I'm sure. (and I agree Saekson is awesome, I wish I lived around him)

It's been important for me to understand that to some people that is all they want is to kick a pad. Others have to search for the right mix, right group, its a free world. I just get along, try to have a good time and stay healthy.

Thanks Adamsfighter, yeah the last time I think I saw him is when I reffed one of his fights.
