Yodsaenklai Interview

Yodsaenklai is a legendary Muay Thai fighter that should email each of his opponents before he fights them with the subject “BIG LEFT KICK”. Considered one of the top pound for pound fighters, Yod currently stands atop a heap of crumpled bodies as John Wayne Parr is waiting in the wings for their next fight.

Meeting him in May while training at Fairtex Pattaya i found out that Yod was actually a quiet kind of guy. He wasn’t loud and charismatic, but laid back and calm. Time spent with him was both in and out of the gym where I also found out he loves chasing tail and eating a lot. Sorry Yod, but i had to spill the beans.

To help amp you up with intense voltatude, here’s a decent length interview with just the right amount of salt and pepper to get those tounges wagging over Yodsaenklai and his next fight.

Born in Australia, training in martial arts since the age of 9. My first trip to Thailand was back in 2007. Since then i have made numerous visits back to the "land of smiles" to feed my addiction of Muay Thai. During the month of November in 2010 i had to decide between working a 9 to 5 job back home for the rest of my life, or sell all my worldly possessions and move to Thailand to live and train for the next few years. Thankfully i chose the latter. I now spend my time training Muay Thai, meeting new and interesting circles of people, sipping coconuts under palm trees on the beach and measuring the cost of everything on how much Pad Thai i could buy with that money.
