22.01.2022 WELCOME TO THE TEAM JACOB MARKS Those that are familiar to the art of Muay Thai would recognise this gentleman's name. Mark Jacobs has been around since the glory days of when Kickboxing & Muay Thai was in its prime with some very good tough gyms & fighters on big shows around Australia. Jacob has his own successful gym in Third Eye Muay Thai, in Newcastle, Australia.... Through a series of life events he has since moved to greener pastures of the Northern Rivers & by coincidence or through trusting the process he has decided to teach at Solace Muay Thai Ballina twice a week every Wednesday & Thursday evenings in both classes. At only 31 years of age, Jacob has fought the very best in his prime with the likes of Michael 'Tomahawke' Thompson, Ben Mahony, Josh Tonna (world champ & ONE FC) , Luke Aram & many strong international & Thai fighters here & abroad Jacob has also lived and fought for a long period in the motherland of the sport in Thailand & Cambodia emersing himself in the training, fighting & the culture He brings a wealth of knowledge & will be a HUGE asset to our gym bringing in multiple different elements & teachings. DO NOT MISS HIS TEACHINGS TEAM Check out Jacobs accolades & the video below to learn about him, his outlook on life, his teachings plus more. @thirdeyemuaythai https://www.thirdeyemuaythai.com/kru-trainers

17.01.2022 HANNAH MORGAN- FIGHT BREAKDOWN Coming into this fight Hannah was coming off a loss from her previous fight almost a year ago at the Nationals. Confidence was low, self dought. She trained consistently throughout the year. Even taking up a coaching role with the kids MT & Fundementals MT. She also commenced a Strength & Conditioning programme with @ronnycoote which really strengthened her up in many areas focusing on fight specific drills... Leading into the fight she had multiple injuries which forced us to accomodate training. She still showed up almost daily and still trained hard around the injuries. FIGHT NIGHT- We knew her opponent had a strong right hand and was from a decent gym. We trained specifically for this in camp as it showed in the fight, particularly against a smaller opponent. Also good to hear the commentators acknowledge our game plan & fight style Switch kicks, long teeps, knees & commitment to the punches and countering punches was the plan. Also was good to see some nice clinch work which was fine tuned by our new coach @thirdeyemuaythai Jacob Marks Very proud of the adversities of what she's had to overcome through the year & how she had dealt with it more so than thr WIN itself! Hannah came away with a convincing win, showing great a Muay Thai skill set particularly for only her 3rd fight. She has a good future ahead of she sticks at it. 2021 will be a BIG year for her. @hannah_solacemuaythai SMT

10.01.2022 MAREK BOHACEK (BOHY) Marek came into SMT roughly 6 months ago. He had trained at a few different MT gyms but had secured a job in Byron & SMT was the closest MT gym. He approached me the first lesson asking if he could fight at some stage as it was his dream to go through a proper fight camp!... His fight camp was tough as they came for a first timer. He went through hell and back. There were times I swear he wanted to quit & leave. But there were things in his game that needed to be addressed before i thought he was ready. Taking a punch was one of them. Through the camp I was close to pulling him out due to a few reasons, the above being one of them. To everyones surprise he fought with heart & heres the breakdown. FIGHT NIGHT 1st ROUND- His opponent was a bigger chap. He came out like raging bull, throwing jon stop punches & kicks continually putting Marek on the back foot. Marek took some heavy shots but withstood them all, only just! We knew all he had to do was withstand the first round & his opponent would have spent his energy, until we have him further instructions. 2nd ROUND- As Jacob & Spiro settled him during the break we reaffirmed what needed to be done. 'Stand your ground & counter with punches' & chop the low kick! Use your jab to set up But stand your ground! Marek came out a different fighter after that. First exchange he smelt fear in his opponent as he hit him. Marek dropped him twice for an 8 count. It was now on! 3rd ROUND- Marek finished strong just like how we trained. We really focused on finishing strong in the 3rd in this camp, to which he did Great comeback win and showed true heart! @__bohy__ SMT

08.01.2022 To get to this point for these 3 had its challenges. Each having different obstacles to overcome. Their were times where each of them were about to quit in the fight camp. There was yelling, sweat, injuries, blood and some hard sessions which nearly broke them physically & mentally. They all showed heart, commitment, drive & the will! This sport is not easy....to train for a fight you need to be strong minded. This is not a game! I am very proud of these 3 & to see them grow and mature over the last 3-5 months as a coach is rewarding enough. The outcome is not the W or L...its what they have learned about themselves, their development & growth through this process. However, I am confident you will see some great skills tonight

07.01.2022 Solid session today December is chillout month

05.01.2022 Thankyou to the SMT members for this amazing Xmas gift a custom WEBBY shortboard. @webstersurfboards The board was just finished & ready to break it in. We have such a giving family team & all help one another out when in need. Love our community gym. Thankyou

03.01.2022 Over the next few days I will be posting different phases of my life I went through to get to where I am today. All the good, the bad and ugly phases. At the ripe old age of 41, I can say I have done and been through a few phases, some of which I still continue to do. When I didn't know where my life was heading from my mid 20's, my mum always told me to try out different things, crafts, hobbies etc to work out if I would like it and possibly enjoy and make it a lifestyle. ...My personality was that where If i did something I'd do it 100% full steam. Some things may shock you regarding what Ive dabbled in, but it was all a 'Process of Elimination' & some bad choices. Hopefully this can help some of the lost kids or young adults to find some sort of direction in their life Spiro Here I went through a horticulture phase, growing my own veggies, propogating fruit trees all in my own back yard. I even went through a phase of being vegan for 6 months. Ive always enjoyed gardening and eating fresh produce to lead a healthy lifestyle. #journey #life #process #trusttheprocess #freshvegetables #homegrown

02.01.2022 Kids Thaiboxing sparring end of year went off. The first time testing out their skills that they have learnt over the last few months. The kids experienced the nerves of going head to head with their opponent and all the parents watching. They had the courage to step into the ring alone and compete. All these experiences will pay dividends further down in life one way or another Kids Sparring will be on one final week next week

01.01.2022 Hannah matched & ready to go. Solace has 4 fighters on November 28th. Come & support all the fighters & their training in the next 2 weeks. We have a new coach starting in Jacob Marks @thirdeyemuaythai which will add another dimension to our methods. #fightnight #solace #fighters
