December Newsletter

SAWADEE KHUP.
I’m back lol. Medium-dense newsletter this month. Some changes are coming — some good, some not so good.
Read closely and mark your calendars for the holidays.
Thank you all for everything. 🙂

Re: Thailand

Thank you to Pete and Dave for hanging out with me in Chiang Mai. Had a blast — trained a ton, drank a ton of coffee, road trips, spiritual experiences at temples, and sketchy hotel experiences.

Thank you to the crew and community for looking after the place while I was away and allowing me to keep growing as a Thai boxer and coach.

Might take a year off from Thailand, but planning to head to South America September 2026.
Who’s down!?

MDL

Thank you to Coach Jordan and Coach Erin for taking the team out to San Diego to compete at the MDL.

Congrats to all participants on taking the next step in their Muay Thai career. Hopefully it sparked an interest in more competition. :p

Everyone looked great and demonstrated really good Muay Thai. Super proud of y’all!

Cleaning Protocol Coming in January

You may have noticed I started replacing the Thai pads — thank you for waiting on that. Over the next few weeks I’ll be reorganizing the pad area to make everything easier to grab.

I’ll also be installing cleaning supplies so everyone can help wipe down pads after each use to minimize odor and keep hygiene sharp.

Thank you for keeping yourselves and your training partners healthy.

Re: White “Vamos TBI!” Tee

Thank you to everyone who purchased the Vamos TBI tee to support @immigrationequality.
