Falling in love with Tomoi

What's Tomoi you might ask. Basically, Tomoi in most cases can be refereed to as Muay Thai or Thai Kick Boxing and I for one has been in training for slightly more than a year now. Never would have known I would be that into martial arts but I guess a part of me which wanted to be fitter and tougher kinda led me into this. I mean why not, considering I'm only paying RM60.00 a month for at least 8 classes a week with access to the gym equipments! Call me cheap but comparing to joining Fitness First or any other fitness centers which has a damage of RM140 (at least), I'd say awesome deal to this! (yes, Chinese people are known for their cheapness as well)

So yea with some spare to spent, I've also decided to join my company's gym (on per walk in basis) for RM15 per entry. And yes I'm being a bit too obsessive with being fitter that I'm even using Creatine pills now for more output and faster recovery.

Besides being caught up in the act, I've also been following the Muay Thai world for quite a bit nowadays mainly watching the new reality TV series The Challenger Muay Thai (quiet brutally awesome) and also visited Muay Thai competition in KL just recently. No pictures to show for it thought but it was really brutal. As in you see people getting elbowed in the head, getting kicked in the ribs while some even getting knocked out cold on the mat.

Of course, you don't really have to go for intense fighting competitions out there. And for myself, I'm just learning for self defense, physical training and also the art of it.
