9/13

Busy of late so I've been training by not getting the chance to jump on here. On a recent note, I've gotten the chance to add Muay Thai to my schedule. We have a sister school sending an instructor to our academy every week now who has exceptional experience in the art! That means I get to really see what authentic Muay Thai looks like from its traditional teaching methods. So far, I can say I'm impressed!
