From suffering through addiction, understanding the afflictions to utilising Muay Thai and Martial arts to empower oneself in to life progression and learning then taking that ball and running with it to achieve great heights. We discussed aspects of of the reality of nutrition, body image identity, the balance between obsession and progression + quality of life and career exit strategies. We also discuss the all to important role that humour, light heartedness and overall positivity play in the longevity of what can be a difficult existence in the fight game.
