TEEP 001: Switching It Up

TEEP THIS - American Muay Thai

In this initial episode I connected with semi-retired mma fighter, photographer and combat sports journalist Charlie Clark. He is the author of The Fighting Monkeys MMA Madness and shoots and interviews some of the most respected professional and amateur mixed martial artists in the world. Charlie takes us behind the scenes of the New England MMA scene, introduces us to local legends Mike Gresh, and Juliano Coutinho; we discuss photographing Lion Fight Promotions as well as Bellator MMA’s aversion to local media. We also talk about our favorite muay thai fighters including Yeison Yayyoo Berdugo, Smokin Jo Nattawut, Jorina Baars and finding it within yourself to switch up your technique in front of ever-changing challenge. We also get into giving back to the fighters and the fight community, Charlie’s Fighting For Autism initiative, growing muay thai in the united states and rising pro and amateur muay thai fighters that you may or may not have heard of but need to know about. Like 11 year old Nick Enzor, 13 year old Summer Bronco and 68 year old Ann Perez de Tejada. Yup, that’s right I said sixty-eight!
