Thanks for coming down! welcome back any time 😎👊

[@richarddaniel2416]

Got to agree with Alex, we have been holidaying in Surin and Bangtao area for a few years and now plan to make it our home very soon. Was in Bangtao again a few weeks back, found the gym, wow, very impressed. We looked at gyms in Kamala and Surin as well but Bangtao by far and away was the most impressive. However it is busy which gives it a positive vibe but please provide space for more more bikes to park... See you again in August.

Alex is my second favourite Muay Thai athlete

[@gordonliu3972]

Nick, you mentioned you fell in love with Jiu Jitsu and might keep it going in Hong Kong. Have you found a gym yet?

[@scmpmartialarts]

I’m still waiting for my leg wound to close up from the staph! But gonna check out some gyms after that for sure

[@gordonliu3972]

@@scmpmartialarts That's awesome! Grappling changed my life for the better in so many ways. I'm older now and my injuries prevent me from training, but I'm so glad I had those experiences. Hope you have a swift recovery.

That aviator sunglasses, watching Top Gun Maverick?

[@gordonliu3972]

Maverick was incredible! I might go see it again.

Mrs.✨ Sofia is the right person to start trading cryptocurrency with.. she knows her way in the crypto world.. she has been helping me increase my investments daily for months.... She is a genius, has approached 1btc through her

[@helenleahy4396]

Who's this professional everyone is talking about I always see her post on top comment on every KZbin video I watched

[@helenleahy4396]

I think I'm interested how can I get in touch with Mrs sofia

[@ankushverma9392]

Wow I just make my second withdraw again today trading with expert Mrs sofia

[@janeddins3405]

She's not like other brokers that will star telling you stories and excuses why they trade didn't go well after collecting your money

[@johndaniel39]

A friend that I referred to her just received $7,050 profit after 10 days of investing....I became jealous.. lol

[@gordonliu3972]

On another note Nick... have you changed your tune on 7-Eleven yet? It's time to leave Family Mart in the dust and embrace 7-Eleven. I recommend strictly dumpling's passionate videos on the glories of 7-Eleven Hong Kong. I have faith in you Nick and I trust you'll do the right thing. Take care bro. 🤙

[@scmpmartialarts]

I’m team 7-11 in Hong Kong.. and team family mart in Thailand 💪

A Coach ?This guy got smacked by y2k right in ONE.what a joke.

[@alc3781]

Those were some strong leg kicks

[@peterlee6148]

I understand alex is a bjj guy not mma.cant strike for nuts.

[@gordonliu3972]

No shame in losing to Y2K.

[@JK-en2pi]

There are people out there that suck in competion fighting that are really good coaches/trainers.

[@peterlee6148]

@@gordonliu3972 but y2k is not the best thai mma fighter.i am from singapore.i watched the recent road to ufc event in which some of the best asian fighters participated.i think top noi is the best thai mma fighter.of course i also watched ufc 275 live.
