I got into a lot of fights when I was at school, I’d get picked on because I used to get easily wound up and racted badly to name calling, if I could go back in time and hold the hands of my kid self, give him a cuddle and tell him, everything is OK, you are special and amazing, you need not worry about what other people think of you, it probably would have had a huge impact on my life.

I remember this was one of the things that we went through when we were under trance at the Essence course, sometimes to this day, when I am feeling paticularly bad I know that it’s just the kid inside my that’s reacting this way, and I go into my head and tell me kid self, it’s OK, it’s alright to make a few mistakes, but you shouldn’t feel bad about it..

Anyway, going back, I went to a boys school and got into so many fights that I lost count. Anything slightly annoying I would erupt and get into fights, Of course I’ve beaten other people and got beaten myself. but I really like the rush of getting into fights, muay thai I guess is a rekindling of the old thrill, but I’m not hurting anyone.

Now I wish, I could go back in time, and take my old self to a muay thai class, it would have been great if my dad got me into martial arts when I was a kid.
