"Shout Out Fight Podcast #171 "The rise of modern Irish Muay Thai! - ft. Collie Mahon"

Welcome back fight friends!Today I got to talk shop with one of the men helping lead the surge of Irish Muay Thai - Collie Mahon from Dublin Combat Academy! I have been really watching and paying attention to Collie and his team at DCA on social media the last few years. Seeing his unique but clearly effective pad work with his fighters, the fighters themselves fighting at top level-on top promotions-winning big fights, and the culture and camaraderie of his team that you can clearly see shine through their social media. So I wanted to have a chat - and BOY did it deliver!!with the rise of the new breed of Irish Thaiboxing, I wanted to know where this explosion came from, why and who is responsible! haha - we also chat about Collie's coaching philosophy and why it works so well for him and his team - we talk about his return to the ring after a 10 year layoff - the global evolution of the sport and how his team at DCA stay at the forefront - and you all know my opinion on calf kicks!! but I wanted to hear from Coach Collie what his opinion was on the subject.Collie really does have a coaches eye with a healthy obsession for Thaiboxing, which makes him on of the best trainers in the sport! I was a fan before, but an even bigger fan after that awesome podcast - SHOUT OUT TO YOU COLLIE!
