Finding the reasons

         What's up all you blog readers, hope you are well. It's been about how I thought it would be since my hiatus and refocusing, BRUTAL!!!! Other than the mind numbing lactic acid pain, the loss of a little bit of explosiveness and technique, I feel good. I'll be sure to update you on how the training is coming. I have been working nonstop and picking up clients left and right and it has been a fun restart. Next up is to work on getting back in the ring and on the mat competitively in the near future. Until then, I will keep training with that purpose in mind. I have been blessed over the last couple of weeks with a new training partner and she is the real deal. She trains nonstop and is actually upset when we have to leave the gym. Her love of being in the gym has given me a new found desire to get better and have fun with my passion. The girl that changed it for me is 5 years old and none other than my own, Luna or "Bear" as I call her. She is the daughter of the love of my life, my beautiful lady Taylor. She is not mine by blood but it sure seems like it in the gym. She has inspired me to be a good father for sure, but now she is inspiring me to be a good fighter and an even better trainer. Taylor also has an affinity for Thai boxing and trained with me in Thailand, it's becoming a family affair.
I don't want Luna fighting, but if she decides one day to enter the ring, then I am responsible for making sure she learned properly. Furthermore, if I am teaching anyone, I have to have the same feelings about it. It's either do it right or do nothing. It has made me a better man having my little sidekick with me and I am stoked that she is interested in Muay Thai. As you move forward in your own discipline you will soon realize that there is always something or someone there to inspire you, you just have to open your eyes to see what is right before you. So without further adieu here is a clip from last Saturday, she can already do the speed bag and next will be pads. I might have to chronicle the journey, maybe not as it might scare away all potential future opponents.
