Hello Fighty Friends - HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Today on the podcast, we have Canadian/Serbian - who lives/trains in Thailand - who's joining us from Dubai at the moment - Mr, Stefan Dronjak! Stefan became the talk of the Muay Thai town a while ago when his picture/video went viral where he was cut on the head in a fight on the RWS, AND HIS ENTIRE BODY WAS RED WITH HIS OWN BLOOD, AND STILL HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE LIKE HE WAS CHRISTIAN BALE FROM AMERICAN PSYCHO!! - now, maybe that's not the way you want to be known/recognized, But if that's how people START to recognize you and that recognition lends to some more/better opportunities along with being a little better known - GOOD! and it sounds like Stefan is gabbing that opportunity with both hands! This was a unique podcast if I must say - for the most part, I've talked to Canadians who spent a little time in Thailand, or people in Thailand who are from abroad. But I don't get to talk to people who are Canadian, fighting on the Thailand scene and don't know much about the Canadian scene. So, I think Stefan has a one-of-a-kind perspective on this, so I asked him about his thoughts on the Canadian scene from his point of view?We also talk how he found Muay Thai and MAS Thaiboxing and his loyalty to the gym and trainer/mentor Chris Kew, why he felt he needed to leave Canada and pursue Muay Thai in Thailand, what it's like training at the legendary Kaewsamrit under some of the best trainers and fighters on the planet. and of course, his NON STOP itchy knuckles and a rule set he'd LOVE to try out! (HINT: 4 oz)Such an easy guy to talk with who loves life just as much as he loves Muay Thai... AND GETTING AFTER IT! Shout Out to you Stefan! glad we were able to make this happen!

Hello again Fight Friends!A few months ago, a Shout Out fan sent me a screen shot that the SHOUT OUT PODCAST was the #6 Muay Thai podcast in the entire universe!! so naturally, my next question was "well, who's #1?" well, that would be the Puu'u Muay Thai Podcast! by this point I was well aware of this podast AND I TOTALLY ADMIT - if you are doing something better than me, I take notice and see how I can improve myself and level up through their influence. In saying that, I absolutely noticed the Puu'u Muay Thai Podcast was definitely that podcast/content creator that I needed to take note! after a few comments and DM's - HERE WE ARE! a Muay Thai podcast on a Muay Thai podcast!!! Seeing as Jonathan and myself hold similar "titles" (Muay Thai men, gym owners, podcasters, fight coach, etc) this was a super easy and flowing conversation. Usually it feels like an interview - which is awesome, but sometimes it's nice to let your hair down a bit (or what I have left..) and just talk shop.We discuss how Jonathan found Muay Thai and did almost everything to keep the fighter lifestyle including ACTUALLY SELLING HIS BLOOD! NO JOKE! to teaching several locations at once, till it was time to open Puu'u Muay Thai. We also talk about the MANY things Jonathan does to not just be involved in Muay Thai, but to be a driving force in pushing and growing Muay Thai in the USA. We discuss the difficultly of running a gym and having to pivot daily during the cov!d era, the rise of the good and bad "content influencers" and of course - DOING A MUAY THAI PODCAST!A great talk with a fella who walks the walk. This was such an easy conversation we didn't talk fights - GREAT!! - because the leaves us to do another pod chatting about my favourite topic - FIGHTS!! SHOUT OUT TO YOU JONATHAN!

It's time to make men “dangerous” again. Father and son Matt and Maxim Smith join Glenn to break down their epic alternative to a college education. While most young people descend into debt to prepare for jobs already threatened by the rise of AI, 19-year-old Maxim has spent what would have been his college years becoming an EMT, wrangling horses in Wyoming, sailing the Falkland Islands, earning a pilot's license, learning Muay Thai in Thailand, and more as the first beta tester for “The Preparation,” an adventure designed to make young men “confident, competent, and dangerous.” In a culture that drives young men away from masculinity and toward unlimited pornography and video games, our sons can still become “Renaissance men” by bucking the system of radical leftist-dominated academia and instead becoming financially savvy men of virtue and real-world skill.   Order a copy of “The Preparation: How to Become Confident, Competent, and Dangerous” here: https://www.amazon.com/Preparation-Become-Competent-Confident-Dangerous/dp/B0FLRKYCCP   GLENN'S SPONSORS:   Relief Factor: If you're living with aches and pains, see how Relief Factor, a daily drug-free supplement, could help you feel better and live better.

In this episode of the Pu'u Muay Thai Podcast, host Jonathan Puu tackles one of the most controversial topics in the Muay Thai world: Semi-Contact Muay Thai.He breaks down what Semi-Contact events actually do right, how they can support grassroots growth, and why they're not the magic bullet to making Muay Thai mainstream in the U.S.Drawing on his experience running the Eat Sleep Teep Semi-Contact Muay Thai Series, Jonathan exposes how some organizations mislead fighters into believing Semi-Contact competition alone will take them to the top—and how this illusion is hurting the sport.Learn how Semi-Contact can serve as a stepping stone, not a dead end, when combined with:

Today's guest is James de Lacey. James is a professional strength and conditioning coach and the founder of Sweet Science of Fighting, a leading platform for combat sports performance. He has coached in professional rugby leagues across New Zealand, Europe, and the United States, and has trained athletes in MMA, boxing, Muay Thai, and BJJ. Through Sweet Science of Fighting, he delivers evidence-based programs and education for fighters and coaches worldwide. Strength training for athleticism typically focuses on sets, reps, and general forces, but rarely gets into aliveness and skill management of the resistance itself. The former is great for building basic physical competencies, but in integrating the latter, we can breathe more life into a performance program. On today's show, we dive into James' approach to building athletic strength and power across multiple mediums. We explore how Olympic lifting, especially pull variations, connects to real sport actions, and how striking and collision sports highlight the importance of timing, rigidity, and effective mass. We also break down resistance methods like oscillatory work, flywheels, and accentuated eccentrics, focusing on their alive, reactive qualities rather than just load. These principles carry into speed and power training, including plyometrics and sprinting, with rhythm and movement quality as a central theme. The episode makes strong connections between field sports and combat sports, showing how momentum, relaxation, and rigidity at impact shape performance.

This is useful for actions like a mat return. Select Snatch over Clean: Choose snatch variations (e.g., power snatch from the hip/hang) over the clean for general athletes because the front rack position is often too difficult, making the snatch easier to learn. Match Lift to Resource/Context: Recognize that the implementation of Olympic lifts in a team setting is often constrained by equipment (e.g., only two barbells for a team) and the athlete's level. 4:26 - The Role of Bar Flex and Slack in Block Pulls vs. Rack Pulls Understand Sensory Differences: Recognize that pulling from blocks feels different than pulling from a power rack. Blocks hold the plates, allowing for "slack" and "flex" in the bar, similar to a deadlift bar. Avoid Dead Weight: Pulling from a rack holds the bar and removes the flex, creating a "dead weight" stimulus, which makes the lift harder and limits the use of bar properties to set positions. 7:03 - High Block Work for Impulse and Technical Refinement Train for Time Constraints: Utilize high block work to force athletes to generate high impulse in very short time frames, mirroring the time constraints often encountered in sport. Force Pull-Under Technique: High blocks are a beneficial constraint that forces the athlete to actively "pull themselves under" the bar,...

Kaj Larsen: From Navy SEAL to Groundbreaking Journalist This week on the Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus and Melanie welcome an extraordinary guest whose life reads like an action thriller—Kaj Larsen.

Outside the newsroom, Kaj is a two-time national open-water swimming champion, an Escape from Alcatraz duathlon competitor, and a dedicated practitioner of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai boxing. His commitment to service extends beyond reporting: he co-founded The Mission Continues and serves on the boards of Team Rubicon Global and other veteran service organizations, deploying for humanitarian missions around the world. Join us as Kaj shares stories from his remarkable career—what it takes to tell the truth from the frontlines, the lessons learned from military service and global reporting, and why resilience and service are at the heart of his mission.

Muay Thai may, on the surface, appear to have nothing in common with endurance sports, but you might be surprised…I was certainly was when I spoke with Sylvie von Duuglas-Ittu for this week's episode of Sparta Chicks Radio.Sylvie is an American born woman living in Thailand who currently holds the record for the most number of Muay Thai fights by any Westerner - male or female - which (at the time of writing) stands at 242.And, much to my surprise, she's been a long-time listener of Sparta Chicks Radio too!Since taking up what she describes as a “beautiful sport” in New York, Sylvie and Kevin have since moved to Thailand so Sylvie can pursue the sport on a full-time basis, and chase her next goal; the World Record for the most number of professional fights. This record of 471 fights has stood since the 1920s!In the conversation, we discuss:- what she gains from listening to the podcast (given she doesn't participate in any of the sports we traditionally cover),- why she thinks Muay Thai and endurance sports have more in common than you might think,- how she discovered Muay Thai and why she describes it as a 'beautiful sport',- why she (as a woman and feminist) struggles with some of the traditions of the sport (eg, men may enter the ring by climbing over the top rope, but women must go under the bottom rope),- why it's important to "reduce the space" you give your self-doubt and focus instead on the process,- how to reframe competition (even in the context of sport) as a collaboration that brings out the best in everyone and an opportunity to practice in gratitude, and- the biggest life lesson she's learnt from her sport.

Muay Thai skills can vanish when most needed. Ever heard that fighting is 90% mental and 10% physical? Here's why that's misleading...This common saying assumes three things:That you already have enough 'physical' to be in the game,That it's fight time not training time,That mental and physical aspects work independently. They don't.And this oversimplification is exactly why so many fighters' Muay Thai skills disappear when it matters most.I've spent over three decades both fighting and coaching fighters, and I've discovered there's a systematic process that makes skills actually transfer to fights.It works for everyone, and today I'm going to show you exactly how.

A Note from JamesThere's always been debate about whether college is worth it. But what if there's a better alternative—one that actually prepares you to become the person you want to be? My good friend Matt Smith just wrote a book with Doug Casey called The Preparation. It's not theory—he's been putting his own son through it as a real-world experiment. Instead of college, Maxim has spent the past two years learning skills like EMT training, firefighting, building houses, working cattle, and even launching a business. This is a practical roadmap for turning those years of 18–22 into a hero's journey. I loved this conversation, and I'm sending the book to all of my kids.Episode DescriptionJames talks with entrepreneur and writer Matt Smith about his new book The Preparation, co-authored with Doug Casey. The book lays out a four-year alternative to college built around “cycles”—three-month intensive experiences designed to build practical skills, personal codes, and real-world wisdom. From earning an EMT license to fighting wildfires, training in Muay Thai, or running a small business, these cycles are designed to help young people become independent, capable, and resilient. James and Matt discuss why the traditional college path often fails, how to build a personal code of values, and why the future belongs to “expert generalists” who know how to learn across disciplines.What You'll LearnWhy “be, do, have” is a more powerful framework for life than chasing possessions or credentials.How creating a personal code builds self-respect and identity.Why intergenerational relationships matter more than peer validation.How cycles of hands-on learning—from EMT work to entrepreneurship—prepare young people better than a classroom ever could.Why becoming an expert generalist is the best hedge against a future dominated by AI and automation.Timestamped Chapters[00:00] A Note from James: College vs. alternatives[01:00] Introducing Matt Smith and The Preparation[03:00] Origins of the book and Doug Casey's vision[05:00] Writing the book for his son Maxim[06:00] Why homeschooling replaced high school[07:00] “Be, Do, Have” explained[09:00] Stacking cycles vs. stacking skills[10:00] Why the book focuses on young men (and how women can adapt it)[11:00] How to build your own cycle[13:00] Why traditional education fails to prepare people for real skills[14:00] Establishing a personal code[16:00] Examples of personal rules for self-respect[18:00] Practicing courage and choosing virtues[20:00] Skills Maxim has gained so far—EMT, chess, horses, firefighting[22:00] Adventures with Doug Casey and small-country nation building[24:00] Maxim's cycles: EMT work, ranch apprenticeship, wildfire EMT[27:00] Structure, resistance, and learning by doing[28:00] Shelter Institute and learning to build a house[29:00] Entrepreneurship cycle: precision agriculture with drones[31:00] Lessons from entrepreneurship[32:00] Muay Thai training in Thailand[33:00] Cooking school in Florence[34:00] Travel with purpose vs. aimless wandering[36:00] James on biographies and meaningful decisions[37:00] Preparing for AI and the future of work[39:00] Why being an “expert generalist” matters[41:00] Learning how to learn across environments[42:00] The problem with peer-only education[44:00] Intergenerational relationships as mentorship[45:00] What comes after the preparation[47:00] Why the program can work for adults too[49:00] Rethinking retirement as another cycle of preparation[56:00] Matt's personal growth through writing and learning new skills[58:00] Designing The Preparation as a beautiful, interactive book[59:00] Closing thoughts and sending the book to the next generationAdditional ResourcesMatt Smith & Doug Casey — The PreparationDoug Casey's Take (Podcast): YouTube ChannelDoug Casey's Official Site: internationalman.comThe Shelter Institute (Learn to Build a House): shelterinstitute.comMuay Thai Training in Thailand (Example School): Santai Muay Thai GymFlorence Cooking School Example: Apicius International School of HospitalityStripe Press (Books mentioned by Matt): stripe.pressDoug Casey's Classic Book — Crisis Investing: AmazonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
