to keep fit and also learn something useful..

One can't get good without practice (in some cases) and one can't get to
practice this stuff without someone to work with ! Finding a person to help out
is easier said than done ! Not meeting enough reasonably dedicated people, at
least, from where I stand ! For them, it's just a passing interest and a
"spare time" sort of hobby. For me, Muay Thai is life ! I'm going to
master the art of Chaiya Boxing even if I have to do it all by myself !!
Sometimes one just has to learn how to help one's self !
