TMTG 059: The Principals of Family Life & Training Management

One of the most common concerns about training or lack there of is the limit of having to take care of a family, to look after your social circle, and make time for those who are closest to you. 

Sean and I have made mistakes in both extremes. Limiting our training and perhaps not reaching our full potential, as well as limiting our time with significant others, family, and friends to get to the next level.

In this weeks podcast, we dissect these certain principles that we feel are important for being able to manage your time properly while balancing your work/life/family all at once.

TMTG 058: A Muay Thai Sparring Philosophy Discussion

We all love to spar. It's the time during training where we get to test the techniques and tactics we've learned throughout our bag work, pad work, and shadowboxing and see if the stuff we learning is actually applicable in a fight.

There are a number of Muay Thai sparring tips out there (like the ones I share with you below) but very rarely do we get to go more in-depth about the philosophy and strategy of sparring... and that's exactly what Paul and I decided to do in this weeks Muay Thai Guys podcast.

TMTG 057: The Muay Thai Guys Podcast is BACK (Finally!)

Wow. It's been awhile! It's not our fault though, I swear.

The past few months we haven't had a chance to bang out a podcast due to technical issues (Paul's laptop blowing up) and our schedules not syncing up properly. But now that Paul's laptop is fixed and we're both in the same timezone, we are able to get back into a steady groove of recording more Muay Thai Guys podcasts!

Since we haven't done a podcast for awhile, Paul and I have a lot of catching up to do. In this first episode back we basically just shoot the shit and catch up on everything that's going on with our training, life and much more.

TMTG 054: 5 Ways To Market Yourself in Muay Thai

Training and preparing for a fight is one thing, but marketing yourself and focusing on the business side of Muay Thai is something that is commonly overlooked by fighters, coaches and gym owners.

Now don’t get me wrong, marketing yourself does NOT automatically qualify you as a Muay Thai expert or as a top fighter.

However, developing and building your personal brand as you continue your Muay Thai career will help you share your story, reach a wider audience and open up opportunities that might have otherwise passed you by.
