Dear Mariusz
At last I have some time to write and tell you a few things. well as you know I have been here about a month and a bit, but the last time we spoke I was very sick and had a kind of fever/ cold whatever it was, but the last week and a half I have been very well and trained hard to make a come back! I now feel my body is use to the training, temperature etc, and I feel a big difference in my level of fitness, stamina, technique, power etc, so I was able to perform in a very good way, and managed 10 out of 12 sessions last week and each I did to the full and best of my ability, so I was very pleased to have managed that.
I am beginning to enjoy the clinch a lot, as I think its one of my strengths, the other day I did it for a long time with one of the fighters (Top), who made it very hard, but enjoyable, and I think he liked the fact that even though he threw me of the ground many times I still got up and insisted to keep going, so it showed I was determined! I am also doing both of the long runs in the morning and afternoon, which is another improvement and I can now do nearly 250 knees after! I hope this is the first great week of many to come!

Overall I think the trainers here are also really happy with me the way I have been training, considering I am the youngest foreign guy here, and I feel I have proved myself to them and most of the fighter that I am very serious about my training and here to reach my full potential. Other than that I have built a really good relationship with all the Thai fighters and trainers, and we always have a laugh and joke round together, which makes my stay here even better. I would say it like a big Muay Thai family here (:
I don't really know what else to say, so I'll save it for next time...
Anyway I hope all is well with you, and I am looking forward to seeing u soon!
Take care. George
