Main Event
This is a pic of me and the winner from the main event. With a win by knockout, this fight was worth the wait to see.

Last Fight
Terry and Scott from Sacramento with me taking a photo with the winner of the last fight of the night. The place had pretty much emptied before he even fought but despite the lack of fan support he put on the best performance of the night. A true winner.

Giving it a go
Once I heard you could take Muay Thai kickboxing classes in Thailand I knew it was for me. Here I am getting taught some basic combinations.

More combos
Just trying to perfect the technique. By no means a walk in the park, but I have not yet begun to feel my breakfast trying to come up.

Starting to get tough
This 2 minute rounds of pad work were murder. This little guy worked me so hard. But look at that kick I managed to produce despite feeling like I was going to fall over from exhaustion. "RIGHT KICK, RIGHT KICK, RIGHT KICK"

Murderous Abs
And for the finale, we did three sets of 60 sit ups. Who knew you could pay 10 dollars to get your ass kicked in a workout.
