Hello. After a brief unplanned break, I am returning with the lockdown content and bringing you an interview all the way from Chiang Mai, Thailand, via Zoom with my good friend and muay thai fighter JUDY HUMBER. Judy headed to Thailand a few days before lockdown set in in the UK on a long planned journey to begin living and fighting in the home of the sport. In this episode we speak about the difficulties of getting to Thailand and settling there during the pandemic, the mental fortitude required to make such a journey in these uncertain times, the near future of muay thai and banter along as 2 pals would. Thanks Judy!
