| Introduction | After the last 13 years of building a successful career in the film industry I have decided to trade in everything, quit my job, sell up, leave London and move to Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand to live and train Muay Thai. Hollywood films and emails 24/7 have not made me happy and I've decided to drop the pursuit of an LA lifestyle in favour of something more brutal. My aim is to transform my life from central London office bod to competitive Muay Thai fighter through at least 6 months of intensive training and fighting in rural Thailand. 5 hours a day, 6 days a week with no distractions. The reason I have started this blog is to log and share my experience. I hope it will become a personal diary of this period of my life, but also a great resource for anyone else considering a similar life changing experience. My plan is document from the moment of decision right through the experience to my first professional fight. I'm giving myself 3 months to scale down and leave London and a further 6 months in Thailand to train for my first fight. So it's no more George Clooney, Tom Cruise, i-phones and emails. Bring on the bruised shins. |
