As a Thai and a Muay Thai fan, this documentary gave me so much goosebumps because it's so well made 🤣 very inspiring, I really don't know to explain my feelings right now. Thank you 🙏🏽
Best parts of this video: he stopped drinking, set goals, and got to work. Wants to be proud of his life when old and near death. These are good values for having a fulfilling life, regardless of how much money you made.
I wish I could have came to Powerhouse to train with you, but covid had other plans. I love watching your journey Bruh, you got a good heart mate and it shows!!
Didn't know who you were, but got here after hearing the Dave Leduc "connection" and had to see who he's been ducking. Talk about different mentality. Would love to see that fight! Thanks for an interesting documentary 🙏
Eddie could you do a video further explaining "check weight" fights? Never heard of them before and curious as to why they pay more and are better in your opinion :)
1987/1990 at that time there was no CZcams. I was in my late 20's, I left the cruise ship in the French Polynesia with the idea of becoming a teacher of Kung Fu so after a short vacation I went to Los Angeles...but too expensive...so I travel to Mexico city...too crowdy...so I moved to Acapulco, Mexico ended up training with the Instituto Mexicano de TaeKwonDo 4 to 5 hours daily (skip Saturday and Sunday when there was no seminary to attend). Pre Olympic participation 1988; and I only have pictures, no documentary to publish on CZcams. Life moves on from being a TaeKwonDo teacher to a close up magician plus tips...
He kept the dogs!! Now I respect you even more. You were talking about everything you sold to move there. You mentioned dogs and I thought damn it! Now I gotta hate this dude. But you kept them!! Your a good man and hell of a fighter. I'm definitely a new fan 🤙
Hey Eddie, amazing story. Can you please tell me at what age you started training? I wish you all the best! ( I am asking this because I find myself in the same position as you have been before ) I have enrolled at a Muay Thai Gym in UK. Was wondering if 26 is a late age.
Never too late man....never!!! I didn't start training until I was 27........I retired at 32 and had 17 fights for 13 wins......it's never too late man.
I lived 6 years in Thailand, how in hell did the move go for your dogs? Thai dogs are extreamly territorial, street dogs... They would feed on my Swedish dog ;)
How did your friends who snapped their legs deal with hospital treatment? There is no insurance that covers Muay Thai and this is something I am concerned about, since I want to fight in Thailand but I don't want to end up with some injury the treatment of which would cost me 100.000$

"If you stop thinking you wlll be present", wow powerful words
Superb documentary. It's great to see the inside life and the person outside the gym. Thanks for the insight Eddie! Great stuff

Better not call him out because he'll eviscerate you.

Living the dream. The life of a warrior. The ultimate rush. The ultimate thrill.
Amazing Eddie MT through thick and thin

15:18 Yes, I would like to be able to do something I enjoy. Life and health problems get in the way, unfortunately.
Fucking inspirational brother!
Living the dream ....
Amazing. And then lockdown hit :(
Right. Thailand blows now. Even the most die hards I know left.
@@JesusChrist2000BC including Eddie
Another example how someone follows there dream and finds out not good enough to fulfil it,they tryed they failed,put it down to a learning curb.
Love the mindset we are all learning everyday and when we are on our death bed are we going to care about our material possessions or facebook likes
It’s not “have I done enough” when you die, it’s “was I present?”
double likes treble likes brings back a few memorys
I lived 6 years in Thailand, how in hell did the move go for your dogs? Thai dogs are extreamly territorial, street dogs... They would feed on my Swedish dog ;)
nice to see the curtain pulled back to see a little of what it takes to be a true Thai boxer
Woow woow 😍💋 💝💖❤️
cant lie, thought he was gonna say sold the dogs to lol
11:05 WTF??????
you be muay thai or you be ladyboy
Boring monologue
Sorry but you have to improve a lot in your technique, specially your punches...
I dont think you’re in any place to give advice
