I'm not a fighter so I don't know what it takes to become one. I trained in Muay Thai for a little under a year and played sports in high school, during which I subluxed (a slight pop out of the socket, not total dislocation) my shoulder, so I only experienced a fraction of the pain that you've gone through. I'm in the business of mind, body, and spirit so I know the resilience of the human body, as I'm sure you do. I think you're a very strategic fighter and you can do very well, just take good care of your body because it's the only one you've got. I also admire your maturity about people's comments. Always remember that you cannot control what others say or do to you, but you can control your reaction/behavior toward their actions. It's wisdom that has been imparted to me that I'm passing on to you and whomever else reading this.shaithaihttp://openid.aol.com/shaithainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657522059380437920.post-81283713079089922722008-03-09T03:07:00.000-07:002008-03-09T03:07:00.000-07:00Hi Zach discovered your blog via mymuaythai.com. Truth be said you'll find precious little in the way of knoweldgeable people any where on the web including the aforementioned sites. To be perfectly honest it's tough to draw conclusion on the heavily editted fights the public gets to see.<BR/><BR/>That said I wouldn't respond to the public too much. It's sort of a trap or a pitfall a fighter can fall into where you can end up looking hyper defensive and sort irrational or you look like you;re trying to curry favor. <BR/><BR/>That said I love that you've acknowledged viewers of the Contender and I'm pleased you took time to say 'hi'.<BR/><BR/>You might also note the mighty Matee also had very similar issues with his arm as Sakmongkol.
