Pob Khun Mai

Hey everyone, it's PC Cam. So I'm off to Thailand tmrw for the next 5 weeks. I'll do my best to update you guys weekly here and on facebook. Not sure how often I'll be going to a computer, but then again, it's me....I love my internet.

Anyways, keep training hard. I hope to come back and see everyone still strong and getting better. I love training (with) you guys and look forward to sharing more with you when I return.

Love, Respect and Believe.

Sunday Iowa Updates! Gold for YMT!



What a day!

First shout outs to Southside Muay Thai who not only won the Team trophy, but also nabbed a ton of gold!

Kru Brian Naidu had one of his juniors also take home the gold!

On to our fighters...


Puppy fought against a game opponent who literally would not stop. Puppy fired back the best he could but couldn't get himself ahead. It was a tough fight, but Puppy never stopped. He brings home a Silver medal.

Durst fought last, against another game opponent. This time, the first round might have gone to his opponent, who had a good quick jab and would tie him up some tricky lower back clinch holds. Durst didn't seem to adjust or get his rhythm until round two, when he started to turn his opponent and get better leverage for knees in the clinch. I would personally give this round to Durst by a narrow margin. I'd say he managed to squeak by in the last half. If I know Kru Jen, she was probably telling him to get some more space for them knees.

Needless to say, that's what Durst did. In round 3 he managed to get the upper hand in the clinch and fired off volleys of straight knees. His opponent's corner threw in the towel half way through the round.

Durst is now the TBA SA 2012 tournament champ by way of tko!

Congratulations to all the fighters for putting in the hard work to be there, and thank you for your efforts in representing your team. We all watched and supported back home.

Safe trip home!

Saturday Iowa updates


PC Pat got clipped in round 1 and lost via TKO. We are happy to know that he is alright and safe.

Leo won his bout by tko round 2, with straight knees non stop.

Robin fought hard and lost a decision. The stream was very laggy, but our sources say they had Robin winning that fight. Unfortunately, you are at the mercy of the judges when there is no KO. We are happy to know Robin is ok and represented well.

I saw Durst's fight on a clean stream, and he won a decision. He did very well, using his high kicks and transitioning to his other weapons very well. 


This means Leo advances to the finals, and probably Durst as well (I'm not sure if he has another fight)...Chok Dee everyone!

Iowa Updates



We set up a projector in the gym and watched first elimination fights on a very laggy stream.

PC Dave fought a war, using all his weapons. Unfortunately, the close battle went the way of his opponent. We were all going crazy cheering for him.

OJ fought an opponent much taller than him and was able to knock him down twice.

The others fight tomorrow. Chok Dee everyone

Fighters Safely and Successfully in Iowa! Weigh ins complete...



All fighters made weight! PC Dave moved down to the 165 lbs category from 172, since he became more shredded than expected from training. He has been sitting comfortably at the weight for a while, so it's a stroke of fortune that the category had an opening for him.

All I have right now is this picture of Durst weighing in from Kru Brian Naidu. Durst is our 172lbs b-class representative!

Watch the fights! Friday!!!



For those interested, Arash and I will be trying to get a projector and watch the fights at the gym. I believe they start 2ish on Friday, Iowa time....which is 3ish over here.

You are all welcome to stop by and come watch. No guarantee when our guys will be on, but hopefully we will catch them :)

Runathon Success!


Our TBA athletes, plus Terry and PC Jenny, successfully completed their 16 kilometer run to raise funds to send our fighters to Iowa.

Durst, Robin and Puppy were the first wave, coming in at 1:15. PC Pat was just minutes behind. PC Dave, Terry and OJ came in next. PC Jenny was unsure of the route, and decided to run extra just to be safe. "Better to run more than less", she said.

Thank you for your support! If you still want to, you can sponsor an athlete. The team leaves THIS Wednesday!
