Tiger Muay Thai Camp - Phuket, Thailand
This week Muay Thai kicked my butt. I woke up every morning at 6am to train from 6:30 - 9 and then again at 3pm (probably the hottest part of the day) to 6pm.
What I learned:
1.) Six different punches
2.) Seven ways to elbow someone
3.) How to kick and knee
4.) There's nothing smellier than communal boxing gloves
5.) In a male dominated environment, a little female charm can do wonders in excusing one from having to do push-ups
I also proudly acquired two war wounds in the form of blisters. One on my right foot and another on my left knuckle (from my deadly jab). Now I'm ready for some much deserved lying around. Next stop is Koh Phangan for the black moon party!
Ohhhhh Yeah

I love the pic of you kicking ass - literally. The kicking photo rocks. You have such fierceness in your face and the fact that I can see your blue underwear is kind of hot too.
