The last months have been a roller coaster for me and MMAthletics itself. As a some of you may know, I left Germany last year after my fiance left me just a week before our wedding. So I hopped on a plane 3 weeks later without a plan, but a dream - a dream I had for nearly 10 years now, since the first time I visited this beautiful country - the dream to live here. As I was in the military for eight years it was impossible to fulfill that dream - until now! I first want to talk a little bit about my journey through Thailand itself and how it guided me in my decision making process. BUT, if you just want to to see all upcoming projects for 2025, skip to the end! The reason I share this now and didn't the last months on social media is that I needed time. Time for myself, time to heal, time to think and time to get back on track. Behind every company is still a human being. This doesn't mean I forgot about our mission here to help fighters to reach there peak, quite the opposite! I took my time to reevaluate my new options in Thailand and to refine and expand our offer. Join me on my journey to see where it led me, where it led MMAthletics and of course you, our community. Without you, this wouldn't even be possible, so a big thanks to all of you at this point. My journey started in Phuket in December 2024, where I thought I will just train, connect and work on MMAthletics. It is well known for it's thriving MMA Gyms. I chose the Bang Tao MMA Gym for my training and to connect with other like minded people. The price point was relatively high with around 12000-16000 THB / month (around 400€), but the cheap, delicious food (check out Chill Land House, thank me later) and the beaches made up for that. If you want to know more about the gym and Phuket, send me a DM or comment down below and will get back to you. Seems like a perfect start in a perfect new life, right? But the universe had other plans in store for me. A journey I couldn't even imagine in my wildest dreams, a journey that was necessary for a new start, to break old ways of thinking and that led me to where I am now.
