At the time, travelling from Canada to Thailand to train Muay Thai wasn’t nearly as common as it is today. I’d already had a few local fights under my belt, and I knew that Thailand was the motherland of Muay Thai and the place to be.

Teddy replied, "I think Marcelo's gym is near you.  I googled Waikiki ni relation to Marcelo Garcia Hawaii and I think it said it was only 12km or something.”

I thought to myself, god bless you, Teddy.
