TMTG 148: WhatOooooweeeee... I's New with Pro Fighters Sean and Paul'm Back!

sean@nakmuaynation.com (Sean Fagan) — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 15:43:00 +0000

Alright…We’re back!

It’s been a minute—so if you’re still subscribed or somehow found your way here again, I appreciate you.

Welcome (or welcome back) to The Muay Thai Guy Podcast—I’m Sean Fagan, aka The Muay Thai Guy.

I’m a retired pro fighter, amateur champion, coach, content creator, and full-time martial artist. I spent years living and training in Thailand, built an online brand around Muay Thai, and now I coach people all over the world—whether it’s training, mindset, or building a business rooted in this lifestyle.

And if you’re new here—this podcast is where I share the raw, unfiltered side of the fight life. Not just the training, but the stuff that Muay Thai teaches you about life, discipline, confidence, business, and becoming someone you’re proud of.

So yeah… this is the official comeback episode. Let’s catch up.

The 8 Warriors was born when its inspirational founder Melinda was introduced to Muay Thai and it changed her life. After one session of Muay Thai Melinda swapped her Yoga mat for Boxing gloves, falling head over heels in love with this traditional martial art. But along the way she discovered Muay Thai is not just a sport, it is a community, it's a way of life and it's deeply liberating.

Inspired by the communities where we live and train, inspired by the women in those communities; we are here to give back through community programs, Muay Ying sponsorships, and more.
