- That's right. I've decided that it's time to hang up the gloves... but why? I'm still young-ish (33 years old), I have no injuries and I live in Thailand, so why would I stop pursuing my Muay Thai fight career? Well, I'll explain exactly why in this video (and share with you what I plan on doing next 😉)
TIMESTAMP:
0:00 - Yes, I'm seriously retiring
0:23 - Reason #5 - Covid

It's been quite a ride the past 10+ years! I'm sad but excited about what's to come and I truly appreciate all the love and support you all have shown me throughout the years. Hopefully I'll see you at a future Muay Thai vacation!
You've been nothing but an inspiration to me even through all of this, whatever you do, you're going to be successful no matter what!

You are the man thankyou so much for your time much love brother
Maybe you can start up bjj and dominate grappling. Thanks for all your videos.
PLEASE DON'T GO
I completely understand this and have similar issues with fighting. Respect!
Glad you can relate man. Hope all is well on your end 👊🙏
My two favorite fighters on CZcams. Sean and Jeff are very knowledgeable and wish you well on your next exciting journey.
thank you both, you guys helped bring back my love for mma and muay thai
are you still ducking me?
Thanks for sharing bro, you’ll be smashing anything u prioritize ❤️🙏
You know it man. Thanks for all the support throughout the years 🙏
@@seanfagan ❤️❤️
@@LawrenceKenshin both good channels guys!
life has stages. You lived the warrior life and it didnt let it kill you. congrats.
Indeed it does. Excited for the next stage 🙏
Easily a future in coaching, running a gym, anything! Best of luck Sean 👍
That's definitely in the plans, thanks!
@@seanfagan no problem sir love the channel been a fan for years
I started training at 44 this past October. I was overweight with zero martial arts training but my local MT community welcomed and motivated me. Still working the basics but feel so much more powerful and eager to try for my first fight at 45.
You got this my man!
All the Best Kevin.....dont worry on age......Big George Foreman became a heavyweight again at 44
I wish you the best
DO IT! Im younger, in my 30s but hearing someone like you is doing this inspires me!
This is the first video I've discovered and I'm already hooked! Thank you for sharing your thoughts so honestly
I appreciate it, thanks for the support!
Taking a fight showed me the fearlessness that had always been inside me, and after 2 years of crippling anxiety and panic attacks I needed that moment in the ring to brand Fearless forever on my spirit. I’ll never forget your email of encouragement back then, and I’m praying blessings over you in this next season.
Happy to play a small part in your Muay Thai journey. Thanks for your support!
I want to thank you for everything. Your classes have helped me so much. Also thanks for checking in to see if I was okay when my father died. Take care and continue spreading good in the world.
Of course! Thanks for the love and for watching my videos 🙏
10 years in combat sports is a career. Great work
Indeed, it's tiring!
Thank you Sean for inspiring me to better myself when I was at my lowest. Your training routines helped me break the old me into someone new. Even though you're going to stop fighting, I will still watch your training videos and train to become a great fighter like you. Thank you
also, you got some sick hip hop moves
That means so much to hear! Thanks so much for the support 🙏
And thanks, maybe I'll be "The Hip Hop Guy" next 😂
Thanks so much for sharing! Best of luck in your future, I'll still be supporting you and Liz til the end!
You've achieved so much and inspired so many people. Mission accomplished I'd say.
I appreciate that, thanks so much 👊🙏
Huge ongoing respect sir. Great reasons and am looking forward to seeing what's next for you and your people. Stay blessed
My respect for You, and wishing the Best of luck on your new proyects Sean!!!
Thx for sharing this. Continue to coach and inspire other people, that's a great purpose. Enjoy your next phase in life :-)
All the best Sean! Looking forward to what you're up to next
Whatever you do I wish you the best man! Can't wait to see upcoming videos
Much respect to you Sean. I dig what you’re about and being a student of the sport just makes things so much more enjoyable. You have accomplished amazing great things and that’s inspirational. Getting ribs broke and other injury’s adds up after a while and at least you proved to yourself and beyond your capability. You’re just as much a champ outside the ring. May God continue to work through you and lift any burden in your path and continue to fulfill anything in you set your mind to!
Thank you Sean for helping me become a more humble and confident individual. Thank you for sharing your life lessons and insights inside and outside the ring, and passion for the art of Muay Thai. You simply ROCK!
You and Liz dancing made my morning, absolutely brilliant. Thank you for all you’ve been doing!
Haha glad you enjoyed our dance moves!
Thank you for taking us along your journey. You've been inspiring and I am glad to hear you're taking some time for yourself. Good for you Sean! Cheers
You're very welcome, thanks for being a part of it all!
Really sorry to see you give up the fighting, thank you for all the information that you have been supplying through the years. Moving forward, any CZcams videos on training/diet not specifically to become a Muay Thai fighter but to practise for life, health and longevity will be brilliant. I wish you all the best for the future and hope to be hearing from you soon.
Another chapter opens in life. Recently found your brand and I feel hooked. Touching base with what you have to offer and hoping for greater things. Exciting times ahead and looking forward to what comes. Good luck with your choices, can't wait to see them come to fruition
Awesome, thank you! Looking forward to seeing more of you 👊
Best of luck to you! Thank you for everything!
Thanks for sharing Sean! You fought the good fight, and inspired thousands of use to learn Muay Thai. It’s been a stressful time with the pandemic, and a lot of things just outside of your control. You got fans all over the world my friend, cheers to you and wishing you all the best in the next chapter of your life.
Thanks so much for the kind words, it really means a lot!
Excited for your next chapter and super excited for your coaching program!!! You’re gonna kill it (obviously) and help so many people 🥺🥺
Thanks so much Jiggy! I hope you are doing well on your side of life 🙏
Sean. You are well-spoken and an inspiration. As part of your community, I enjoy watching and listening to you. I want to develop an online program for my specialty so I can move and get out of NYC soon. Thanks, Brett The Golf Guy
Thanks for being transparent, Coach! Glad to see that you made a decision that you are at peace with. Looking forward to seeing your future endeavors. Blessings!
Thanks so much Wade!
Thank you for sharing Sean. I wish you every success with the next chapter of your life and all your future projects. Enjoy your life, keep well and best of luck with everything!
I appreciate the support my man! 👊🙏
Great vid! Your videos have been immensely resourceful in regards to the the inner workings of the Mind of a professional fighter. I wish you the absolute best of luck in your future endeavors and the very short time I was able to follow you was a blessing!
THanks so much! Glad you've been finding value in all of the videos I've been making.
Hey sean. I have started trying out muay thai as a workout for me about two months ago. Thank you for all of your videos which helped me motivate myself to learn more about muay thai. Good luck to you on your future endeavours! I wish i can visit thailand someday and attend one of your vacations!
Thanks for the support! Glad you're enjoying the workouts
Good luck Sean, with your attitude you'll be great at whatever you do. I started training Muay Thai 5 months ago and I love it, got me out of a few mental health issues having something else to focus on. I've been bodybuilding most of my life but Muay Thai gave me another level of confidence. Thanks for your videos, really simple to follow and very effective. Stay safe 🙏
Respect bro! Goodluck for your future endeavours 💯👍
Your workouts have always pushed me to do better every time I do it. From the bottom of my heart, Thank You👊💪
That's awesome to hear, thanks for the love Alexis 👊🙏
I can totally relate to point number 3! All the best for the future man 💪🏼
I bet you can man, you've had quite an incredible career and it's been fun watching you fight at the highest levels. Hope you and your family are well!
Thanks for sharing your journey! I was afraid you were going to retire from coaching and I would miss you so much. Happy you are making good choices and enjoying yourself while you contribute to a better world! Love you, brother.
Nope I'll still be involved in coaching and the sport of Muay Thai, so you'll see me around 100%
You’re the main reason I got into training Muay Thai. I remember seeing an ad on CZcams sometime last year and I thought to myself “Why not? Let’s check this out.” From there it almost became an obsession to me. You inspired me to become a practitioner in this sport, and you’ve motivated me to become a better version of myself. Thank you for everything Sean. I hope that your business continues to grow, and I wish you and your family good health on your path in life. Fight on brother! 🥊
I'm glad to have found you on CZcams. I haven't perfected my switch kick. But you've definitely opened my eyes to techniques, workouts pertaining to Muay Thai. Thank you for your humor, your expertise and your life stories. 💯
You're very welcome, thanks for your support!
Thank you for everything. I'm glad that I was able to receive your knowledge about life and fighting. You deserve to have time for yourself and other life endeavors. Take care.
Thanks so much 👊🙏
I remember back in early 2015 I discovered you and your channel which through that I discover your podcast and even though that was 6 years ago on the internet that’s a lifetime ago. And what I mean by that exactly is the fact that there wasn’t much content online about Muay Thai for your average dude. I had 2 Muay Thai fights that year in 2015 under the guidance of my kru and other coaches. They helped me with everything but everything to do outside the gym(diet lifestyle etc) and that’s where you came in and helped me both learn how to live a more wholesome lifestyle but also the biggest things that helped me was that book you had where you teach fighters how to correctly cut weight and I did everything to a tee and went from 155 to a healthy 135 for fight week. I unfortunately went 0-2 that year but losing to 1 split decision & 1 unanimous decision but both fights got Fight of the Night honors which was amazing itself. Thank you Sean for all you’ve done for us regular dudes who started this journey and I’m glad you’re back on CZcams. Also one more thing! In 2015 it was still taboo to smoke weed as a fighter and I would do it on the low without anyone knowing cuz of taboo reasons but I remember you made a whole video about how you love smoking blunts after fights! Haha loved it bro made me feel ok with my decision making. God bless you and the family and good luck on your next adventures. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow that's so crazy man, thanks so much for sharing a bit of your story and how my content has helped you in various ways. I'm honored to have played a small role in your journey and allowed you to feel ok about blazing up every once in awhile 😂
You have been solid thus far....im stoked for ya!
Dam this was awesome Sean. Your passion is unmatched. Your videos I’ve been doing since Covid started. When all the gyms were closed here in NYC all I had was a heavy bag and gloves. Thanks to you brother I am more confident and knowledgeable about the sport. Can’t wait to see what else you got coming.
That's so awesome to hear! Honored to be a small part of your journey, thanks so much 👊🙏
Wishing You All the Best on your New Area of Focus Sean !
I've learnt a lot from your videos. Thank you for all your contribution! All the best in future Sean. Stay safe & healthy 🤙
You're very welcome, thanks for the support!
Absolute support for you brother. Love your honesty. Great things to come for you. Take care!
Thanks so much!
Hope you adjust well
Hope you are good
Love the videos
Will keep following
All the best with what you do now
I'm very happy for you Sean. May your life continue to be filled with many blessings and allow you to keep on inspiring and impvoring the lives of those around you. Much love and respect from Germany.
Thanks so much 🙏
Sad to hear that you're retiring, but we're all behind you :)
Thanks so much!
Good luck with everything, Sean. You've contributed a lot to putting muay thai content out there and representing it. You've put out some of the most raw and educational content, so I'm grateful for that. I look forward to your future content man.
Thanks so much, that really means a lot! 👊🙏
Enjoyed watching you. Best of luck!
Thank you Sean for sharing...i wish you well for all your current and future endeavours. You are an amazing role model. Huge blessings to you and Liz in everything that you put your shoulder too. Again thank you for everything and i will continue follow you...🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! You too!
Thank you for your videos, Sean. Your videos is the reason why I started to train in mma and kickboxing and even starting to compete. When covid started, I was depressed and had nothing to do but now my dream of being a fighter has been reignited bc of you and many others. Thank you for everything! ❤️
That's so awesome to hear! Thank YOU for your support!
Sounds like a well thought out calculated decision. Evidently you have evolved and are making the wise move while your health is still great!
Awesome videos and top bloke! Well done buddy and good luck for the next phase(s) of life.
This was expected, although it came sooner rather than later...Can´t wait to get to Thailand and to do some collaboration with you Sean! Keep up the good work, you´ve inspired so many of us, myself included...
Looking forward to it, thanks so much! 👊🙏
Hey Sean, sad that you're retiring. I just started Muay Thai. Your channel was a huge inspiration for me to dive into it. All the best for your future!
Just got around to watching this in its entirety. I knew that this was where you were heading and it makes complete sense, thank you for everything that you have done inside and outside the ring. Every time that I was in your corner or fighting on the same card it was a fuckin' trip man, never a boring performance and always a memory to be made. Enjoy your well earned time off!
I appreciate that man! It’s been a wild journey that’s for sure 👊🙏
Well it’s been a hell of a ride Sean. Im saddened yet very happy about this new stage in your career and life. You’ve honestly indirectly changed my life bringing back the love of the sport so thank you. Best of luck love from dutchess county
Hudson Valley in the house! Thanks for the love, it means a lot 🙏
You are one of the most real people. Your 100 kicks 100 days challenge was my introduction to Muay Thai. Muay Thai has given me a way to focus on developing my strength and coordination. It’s helped me see I am never too old to learn even at 50.
Congratulations on your “retirement.” Hearing you talk about family and wanting to have your finances well enough to help others makes me respect you even more. Keep up the good work of moving forward in your life. I will continue to follow and learn more. Thank you for all you and your wife do to contribute not only to your fans but also the things you do to help those around you to make the world a better place. Keep moving forward.
Wow thanks so much for the kinds words J! It really means a lot to know that I've played a role in your Muay Thai journey. Much love 🙏
Thanks for sharing this Sean! I recently started training Muay Thai and your videos have helped me a lot. Your content is always top notch, honest and valuable. It’s not easy being your own boss and balancing work with the other aspects of life, specially because work is usually something that we are extremely passionate about and we love doing. I wish you success and happiness in this new and exciting chapter of your life, may it bring you growth, lots of new adventures and peace. Mad respect from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 pura vida brother!
Thanks so much man! Yes being your own boss is tough - especially when your boss is a dick sometimes 😂. Thanks for the love!
Welcome back bro! Miss the podcast with you and Paul. I heard samui has been sometimes rough to train. I'm currently in ao nang Krabi. Anyway looking forward to your future content bro!
Thanks for the update. I love your shadowboxing drills and am looking forward to more videos. I struggle to get back into the original stance quickly after throwing roundhouse kicks, as well as protecting myself throughout the process. I'd love a video covering that.
I'll see what I can do Paul, thanks!
Sean , Thank you for everything you have done. The impact you have had on me and people I train with over the years is immeasurable. I will consider to support you no matter what you do and wanted to wish you best of luck moving forward, Nak muay nation loves you !
Wow that means so much Derek, thanks so much for the support and for following my stuff!
Thanks for the great content bro, your podcast helped convince me to move to Thailand and follow my dreams, best of luck to you and your future endeavours, will continue to follow for sure 🙏🏽
That's so amazing to hear that I've influenced you to move to Thailand. I hope the land of smiles is treating you well since your move!
Good luck to you and your family. Hope you're happy
You're an absolute inspiration man. Your videos have gotten me re-energized about Muay Thai and general health. During COVID I was at 240lbs but since finding your videos I'm down to around 210lbs and going. More importantly, I actually enjoy working out now and am getting healthier and healthier every week. You're awesome and I'm looking forward to seeing what you get up to next!
Wow that's incredible Jacob! IT's quite a journey you're on and I'm honored to be a small part of it. Thanks for the love and support my man!
Makes sense mate! Thanks for all the content over the years. Incredibly useful and kept me sane during lock downs. All the best for your new direction! 🙏 👊
I appreciate the support man!
Many times when training alone for me (COVID stopped training in a gym) I turned to your CZcams videos to get some ideas of what I could train on. Thank you for that and the inspiration and explanation that came and comes with your videos! Wishing you all the best, Sean, for everything you have in mind for yourself and your family. Once more: Thank you and have a great journey into something different and important for you!
That is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing and for the kind words, it really means a lot!
Glad you're back doing videos man! Hoping all the best for you!
You were one of the first to spark that fire in me to have so much passion for muay thai and I have learned soo much. Thank you 🙏
You're so very welcome, thanks Jonas!
Appreciate your content bro! Your heavybag blueprint and the fighters body program got me through quarantine when the gym was closed. I still use both of those programs to supplement my gym training now that gyms in my state have been back open for awhile now
That's so awesome to hear Anthony, thanks so much for your support and for checking out my programs! Glad you're getting good use out of em 👊🙏
I respect that and understand all of that. Much respect and love. The lessons I've learned just from your videos has helped me out. Still a badass and a legend in the fight world. Take care and be safe🥊🥊🥋
Thanks so much Jeff!
I’ve been watching you channel for a long time and I’ve learned a lot from you. Hope everything goes well good luck and thank you for everything 👊🏾
I appreciate the love man!
Thanks for all your videos and helping a lot of people around the world to train. I want to go to a muaythai vacation but my wife is not down 🥺😢 hope all the best with the retirement. But like Arnold once said, "he'll be back" 😎😃🙏✌
The wife can enjoy the beach, pool, and smoothies! We have couples come often where one person trains and the other person relaxes
Really appreciate all of the knowledge you have shared with us - THANK YOU.
Glad it was helpful!
Happy retirement my guy - you've achieved so much and remain an inspiration to us all! Glad you're enjoying life ♥️♥️
Thanks so much my man, hope you’re doing well!
Good Luck Sean! When I started training you were and still are a GREAT Inspiration and motivator to Me. I am 50, I don't fight, just train for the health benefits and it's nice to be able to defend myself if necessary. Hope everything goes well for you!
So happy to be a part of your journey John!
Wish you the best of luck on the next steps!
Many thanks Sean! Best of luck on future endeavors. Looking forward to one of your camps, greetings from SA, TX.
Thanks so much! Looking forward to seeing you at a future camp!
Your heavy bag workouts have really helped me improve my health. Thanks so much and best wishes for your journey.
You're very welcome, thanks for your support Tom!
I'm into Muay Thai as a recreational fitness "habit", and discovering your videos has been great - kob khun khrap. Your decision is right, life takes you through stages and stepping away from Muay Thai competition at 32 is a good call. Embrace the change.
You Are a true legend!! Congrats for the amazing career!
Thank you Sean for all the inspiring videos you have shared. It has been a hugh help, god luck now with the future. Big love from Sweden.
You’re very welcome thanks for the love!
Thank you for all the tips and the training videos, you really helped me a lot🙏✊🇹🇭
I wish you good luck through the rest of your life!
Thanks for the support!
Wow, that was unpredictable.
Good luck with other sides of this amazing life bro.
Thanks a ton!
I want to thank you. I use your youtube 20min heavybag workout video multiple times a week. Having your comments in my ears keeps me going while I have to train covid-style alone on the bag. Simple things like "You can do it" and "One mooore! One mooore!" keeps me going. Keep those muay thai workout videos coming. best of luck to you Sean.
That's so cool that you have been getting good use out of my videos! There will be more to come soon ;)
Cool, I'd definitely recommend getting Sean's heavy bag blueprint 2.0, it's helped me loads and the variety is nice when you're training at home day after day
That all makes a lot of sense. Great to see you looking so happy (and hip-hop dancing!) Excited for the next stage
Haha thanks man! Hope all is well on your side of life too 💪
I can relate with so many of these points!! Thank you for sharing such an honest opinion.
You’re very welcome, thanks!
Best of luck bro...I know I'll still following your coaching and programs. Stay awesome!
Thanks so much Steve!
Congrats! Muay Thai HAS changed my life, but YOU have been a major part of that. Your podcasts and videos have been the soundtrack of my Muay Thai journey. I’ve learned so much from you and can’t thank you enough. Looking forward to your future endeavors ❤️
Thanks so much for the support it means the world!
Best wish for you and your family! Good luck with for future! Thank you for inspiring me a lot!
Thank you so much!
How articulate. Thank you for the videos, the honesty and here’s to your purpose driven life. Follow your path, it’s blessed. Look forward to seeing your future videos. 👍🏻
I appreciate that Jason, thanks for the kind words 👊🙏
Look forward to seeing your plans to help the dogs. My company vitalpethealth is new and growing but would like to open a line of communication on ways we can help in the near future. 👊
Bro your killing the hip hop dancing....💯👍👍🔥🔥 it's awesome to see you move on and do something you really want to do brotha good luck and definitely always watching the channel 👍
Haha thanks so much!
All the best with retirement, enjoy man!
That’s OK Sean I feel like I’m on The same path as you when you first started Muay Thai like wanting to conquer your fears of fighting being disciplined and digging deep I think you have a happy life even outside of Muay Thai so that’s good. Sean I just want to thank you for your inspiring videos that’s give me confidence everyday because when I watch them I’m like if Sean can be a Muay Thai fighter I most certainly can!! I have huge respect for you champ 🙏🏻
Good explanation and I can totally understand your decision. 30 fights and the experiences you made have an really big value. Nice time and enjoy your coming challenges and most important family
I appreciate it, thanks! 👊🙏
Best of luck man! Was great to meet and train under you briefly in Thailand , I still remember that time you streamed one of your fights on Facebook, you fought a Thai and got dropped and rocked I think in the 3rd or 4th round, and came back to win by KO in the 5th, amazing Rocky-esque comeback. Best of luck again from Ireland Kru 🙏🏻🇮🇪
Haha yea that was an insane fight! Thanks for the support Darragh 👊🙏
Respect to you Sean, sounds like a very well considered decision and I'm sure all that hard earnt experience will serve you well for the rest of your life.
I hope so! Thanks for your support 🙏
Respect! it gifs me extra strength by watching your videos :) 50 years old & still love training Muay thai.. it keeps my life balanced. peace from the netherlands
Keep it going my man!
I live in a remote place, we have two fighting clubs here karate where a bunch of kids play,
and judo.
With your videos i can learn muay thai, and i thank you for that everyday.
