Ben's Joints
Bobby's Joints
My joints!After shopping was time to rest before the afternoon training, at this point in time my lap top got all "Blue Screen" on my ass. Quite frustrating really, thought I was going to lose all my documents and files as well as all my images, footage from the trip. Stayed up late working on recovering my laptop. SUCCESS! Did a few things, fixed a few things, sorted a few things. Now runs better than it ever has, WIN! Due to staying up late I missed the run this morning but still trained. Did some pads with Orono, he caught me at a point of weakness. 600 kicks later and 4 punch combos I was finished, did the usual sauna, conditioning, bagwork regime after.
Back to MBK, Tony needed his I-Phone fixed so I made use of this time to do some shopping, bought a heap of DVD's, clothes and went all Stealth with my Blackberry and made it all black, looks badass!
Trained this afternoon, did pads with Ou and all the usual things that go with training. But here's a little about Ou. His daughter's name is Fah and is about 9 or 10 and is the current S-1 champion and in Thailand has to fight boys because she keeps beating all the girls. So look out for this girl in the future! But as for Ou, he is one of the nicest people and best pad holders you'll meet. Won't just flog your guts on pads until you spew and bring in the next person when you're done. He is always giving advice and encouragement and teaches you so many little things that a lot of other people won't either know or just won't tell you.
Ou and I
Also good to take you around Bangkok when you're looking to buy gear, helps get the best price and the best quality and doesn't just take you to Lumpinee and Raja stadiums where they rip you off as apposed to the small stores around the place. And that's my two cents about Ou. I'll try give a bit of an insight into other trainers and fighters here at 13 Coins over the next couple weeks too.
*Farang (færæŋ Thai: ฝรั่ง) is the generic Thai word for a foreigner of European ancestry. (Get used to hearing this word if you come to Thailand.)
