Pat and Brahm Goes to Thailand: Update

Hey TKO,

We're doing pretty well over here. We had a delayed flight, and ended up staying an extra night in Tokyo, then leaving for Bangkok the next day. After our 7 hour flight to Bangkok, we hopped on the overnight bus for the ten hour trip to Chiang Mai. We arrived at 5 that morning, and commenced our training later that afternoon. It was jokes.

So far the training is going alright. Andy, the camp manager and head trainer for us farang, is trying to get us to basically re-evaluate all of our technique, which is frustrating, but nevertheless a necessary review. For the most part, the trainers are really good. Of the three I've worked pads with so far, my favorite is Den, who yells "Relax!" as he kicks the shit out of you. The only thing that we don't like is a lack of formal class structure; i'ts left up to you if you're going to run, do pushups, skipping, etc, which can be bad for our motivation. The downside for Pat is that there is little to no hard sparring here, which means I'm going to have to step up and be his punching bag. But that's ok, because that's what the team is for haha.

Went out to some bars last night, and me and Pat got lost on our motorbikes at like 3AM.

I think weve noticed like 3 ladyboys so far.

Train hard guys
