Muay Thai Bones Podcast - #17 (Apple & Android) Heavy Sparring, 24/7 Ruup, Gamblers Make it Real, Thor (1 hrs, 46 min)

Casting from our apartment in Pattaya episode 17 comes in more manageably at under two hours. We dive into a lot of the deeper focuses Sylvie is taking in her training in her 3.0 approach, the physical and mental differences that are often beneath techniques that don't always get a lot of attention. And we talk sparring big time. Throw in some discussion of the important role gamblers play in the Thailand of Muay Thai, and it's another awesome Muay Thai Bones podcast!
