Before anybody jumps down on me,yes,I know I didn't fight and nobody really! BUT just wanted to say thanks to everyone who trained me over the last 13 years non stop at Thai boxing,and to the people I have trained with and met through this great sport.
I packed in 2 weeks ago due to arthritis getting in a lot of my joints and suffering at work.I had a knee op 9 years ago and told to pack it in then! But no chance....
I could have carried on and as fit as ever but my joints are knackered and I'm 50 now with 20 yes manual work left. I am ticking over at a normal gym.
Managed 7 inter clubs(some may as well have been fights! LOL) and did some gradings/ram muays too.
Been a lot of gyms but mostly with Elite at Bolton with Sean fogg(foggy)my last lesson with him was very emotional for me and a bit for him too I suppose (known him a long time and 7 yes out of 13 with him)I fully got the respect thing and only people who trained hard and a long time understand.
Thanks to GFC,Waterloo St gym,BTBC,HKS,Premier gym(Nigel Ashton),AAC gym and of coarse Elite.
Thanks to Gilly for giving me the opportunity to work in the corner at Waterloo St gyms fighters at ikon show,never forget that.
I will be around at shows and supporting the fighters and the sport as always!!
Cheers,chalky
