Shout Out Fight Podcast #173 "The man who never said no - Jason Woodham from the Muay Thai Muppets!"

Hello Fight Fans! Welcome back to another episode! Today I got the opportunity to chat with someone we are all familiar with be it from inside the ring fighting to the LIFESTYLE/MOVEMENT that's known as the Muay Thai Muppets and everything in between in the Thaiboxing scene. I saw Jason initially around 07 - 09 in Thailand.... can't remember.. anyway, a little time after that I recognized his name on a Frank Lee fight poster in Edmonton that one of my fighters was on. since then I have been following the journey! I did see he came off a podcast not long ago talking about his background, so I didn't want to really get into it again. So we got right into from how the fight in Edmonton came about, why he's known as the "fight any man, anywhere, any weight" (Andy Howson) kind of fighter, some of his biggest fights against world champions, when he knew it was time to hang up the gloves and how he went from the UK to Dubai. ONCE AGAIN - it's so cool to be able to sit and have a chat with people you have been following for years and hearing the war stories. Their's nothing like Muay Thai!! SHOUT OUT TO YOU JASON!

Hello again Fight Fam! ** I apologize for my audio in this one - I don't know what to say, I am at the mercy of tech sometimes.. BUT - you aren't here to listen to me anyways! Today I chat with a man I have been watching since 2003-05 ish area - World Muay Thai champion, Andy Howson!! as far as Muay Thai goes, Andy has done it all! fought legends, beat legends, won big fights, lost big fights, collected titles along the way and NEVER had a boring fight!! along with doing things on the dangerous side of the ropes - Andy is also a world class trainer and one of the masterminds behind the renowned Hitman Fight League! it has been cool to watch the journey for decades and finally get a conversation with the Punisher!

"Shout Out Fight Podcast #171 "The rise of modern Irish Muay Thai! - ft. Collie Mahon"

Welcome back fight friends! Today I got to talk shop with one of the men helping lead the surge of Irish Muay Thai - Collie Mahon from Dublin Combat Academy! I have been really watching and paying attention to Collie and his team at DCA on social media the last few years. Seeing his unique but clearly effective pad work with his fighters, the fighters themselves fighting at top level-on top promotions-winning big fights, and the culture and camaraderie of his team that you can clearly see shine through their social media. So I wanted to have a chat - and BOY did it deliver!! with the rise of the new breed of Irish Thaiboxing, I wanted to know where this explosion came from, why and who is responsible! haha - we also chat about Collie's coaching philosophy and why it works so well for him and his team - we talk about his return to the ring after a 10 year layoff - the global evolution of the sport and how his team at DCA stay at the forefront - and you all know my opinion on calf kicks!! but I wanted to hear from Coach Collie what his opinion was on the subject. Collie really does have a coaches eye with a healthy obsession for Thaiboxing, which makes him on of the best trainers in the sport! I was a fan before, but an even bigger fan after that awesome podcast - SHOUT OUT TO YOU COLLIE!

Shout Out Fight Podcast #170 "Q & A with Jay on a Friday!"

Hello Fighty Friends! Doing something a little different today - I haven't done a podcast on my lonesome for some time and I admit, I was a little unsure how to fill an hour, so I thought I send out an insta story to include a lil Q & A in the podcast, but I got so many questions it took up the whole podcast! LOVE IT!! I am always the guy asking the questions and putting guests on the spot - well, the tables have turned today!! I thought I had the answers secured in my head when I was getting ready for the pod, but I gotta tell ya - some of the answers changed as the words were coming out of my mouth! so I apologize for me arguing with myself and getting a little marble mouthed.. it's been a while since doing this on my own AND answering questions. I had everything from local fights I want to see, how do we come together as country for Muay Thai, who are my favorite fighters, what are my favorite techniques I like to throw, why did I start the podcast and everything in between! I had a lot of fun with this one, totally new to what I am used to - but I want to grow and be challenged too! SHOUT OUT TO YOU ALL WHO SENT QUESTIONS!! I am grateful for your support, encouragement and engagement .
