Sean Fagan’s story @themuaythaiguy is one close to my heart. Sean’s journey was very difficult at times, I saw it first hand. Most people would’ve given up when going through years of not making money and having critics waiting to see a fall at every turn. He had these nagging voices in his head telling him to give up every time a big challenge came. But through believing in himself and changing his environment, he pushed through. We all have these voices that tell us that we’re not good enough, smart enough, or capable enough. Sometimes, they voices come from strangers. Sometimes, these voices come from the people closest to us, and if we’re not careful, our dreams will never realize because of it. We start believing in things that aren’t true, internalizing these voices. We start to feel small, because others felt small. Our vision starts to become a distorted reality of what isn’t possible. With these voices, we may never even begin to dream a dream. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. At a time where no one in my life believed in my work, Sean reached out to help… just when I was about to give up. The voices of doubt has only lessened ever since, and belief has only grown ever stronger. Thank you Sean. Seeing your progress and success today makes me so happy. Wouldn’t be here without you. I hope that Sean’s story encourages you to dream, to celebrate and support the successes around you, to allow the vision of others to believe in your own visions. Treasure the ones that believes in you.
Salute, Lawrence. I've been subscribed to you and Sean for a while now. This was an awesome video on so many levels. Not just progression in Muay Thai, but overcoming fear of failure and continuing to push toward your dreams. Nice job, as always, Lawrence. And mad respect to Sean Fagan. Wish him all the continued success he can achieve.
He makes me wanna drop everything else and do this and chase my dreams. Training makes me feel alive than anything else I have ever done. It's my passion. But i started too late. I admire this dude
Sean is inspiring to me for a long while now.. passion to training, the art of muay-thai and being humble about it is gold. He truely got the respect for this and lives it
Love this guy! I started Muay Thai in the early 90's and he can teach as good as anyone if ever seen. Great guy, great spirit, and a great ambassador for the art. I caught him when he first hit the scene, and his personality is infectious and positive. I wish him all the success he can handle.
The Muay Thai guy was and still is a key proponent to my Muay Thai journey. During the pandemic in early 2020 I religiously followed his videos that were broken down methodically so that technique was really understood and adhered to. His workouts also incorporated HIIT elements so you would inevitably get fitter while getting agile. I joined a Muay Thai gym a month ago finally (sep 2021) and thanks to Sean, I tested quickly and did not have to go through any beginner sessions separately. I just joined the class. I’m not a fighter. Just a dad with two baby girls learning and loving the martial arts life for fitness, self defense and discipline. You too Lawrence. Your breakdowns and videos are just essential to anyone who want to live the life of a martial artist and learn a thing or two from the greats. Thank you.
Totally agree with the online courses as supplemental tasks. Since Covid I mostly train at home and Sean's Workouts are a good mix between technique and fitness.
I didn't know Sean had this kind of story. It's unreal how true his "give good karma, receive good karma" statement because I started the day sending job posts to my friends and ended up with an unexpected job offer (and to watching this video). I agree with everything you said, Sean. A lot of people want big goals but don't start. If they do, some are only eager at the start. Being consistent is hard as every day is not a good day but sometimes it takes a couple of months or years to have the one good year of your life.
Lawrence mate, I'm not yet finished watching this (because it's only been uploaded lol), but I just wanted to express my gratitude to you for content like this. Stuff like this really hits the heart... it speaks to my soul, and contributes towards to the inspiration that i harvest daily to pursue my goals and overcome my hurdles. Thank you, and Namaste 🙏💯
@@LawrenceKenshin Always mate 💯 Thanks for your encouragement. And thanks for sharing your passion. I can tell you wholeheartedly it is met with the same passion. Cheers. May you and yours stay healthy and happy best you can during these times.
Very appreciative of this video in particular. I’ve always wondered what type of person Sean is, before Covid I had a trip planned to Thailand, I was refunded my money and have since been trying reschedule another trip, I considered one of his retreats but decided to go a cheaper route, I think I want to meet Sean and train with him for a bit.
Leyend!! I was 2020 training in diamont its so cool to see this guy training there.. im now really starting to take it serious and make the settings and "realistic" goals for living the live I want.. as you learn with martial arts comitment is the key, just weird I never took the REAL decision.. now im 28 so i think its the time to think and make true decisions about what kind of live i really want to live.. you are an inspiration bro!!
If anyone else has a similar journey to mine NEVER STOP EVEN WHEN YOU REACH YOUR GOALS! Basically I went from getting beaten up by friends in a garage to training muay Thai and eventually I'll have my own gym.many people tell me to find a better outlet and better money but I might not have been born into muay Thai but I was born for it and nothing else in my life will make me a better human through and though and nothing else will positively change my environment as well as contribute to society the way muay Thai will for me.If you found what makes you alive don't let anyone tell you you suck because everyone does at something focus on the bigger picture.If your reading this YOU ARE THE CHAMPION and your biggest obstacle is yourself.Can you beat yourself? If you've made it this far accept the fact that you will win but not before you endure faulre.YOU ARE THE CHAMPION! STAY HARD
Good job man! Unfortunately there's not much of such a good content about muay thai in my languages and not many people can watch nice videos like this. You doing really good job, thanks for that. 👊
21 years active duty military service as my guide...discipline, will power, endurance and tolerance of both mental and physical pain in people like Sean Fagan is not normal. He/they are not normal. This is why we are not all elite athletes or Special Forces Soldiers. Sure, we can all find these qualities over time but few can manifest these qualities all at once, right now, directed at one specific task. Mediocrity is normal in modern society so lifting yourself above that is both not normal and not easy.
I don't see the value in online Muay thai training, seems like a great way to pick up a load of bad habits (poor execution of techniques) without realising. Money is far better spent investing in a membership to a good gym with active fighters and legitimate kru's. Good to support your local club and they will support you!
sitting here in germany durin the lockdown. money was my only motivation until now. now i have lots of money cos cryptocurrencys but i can tell u iam not happy at all. iam in my mid 30s and dunno what else to do with my life and man ive tried alot (skydiving..basejumping..scubadiving i was in thailand 2 times for a few months until february 2020. met my girlfriend there (nawww not what u guys think..good girl..teacher in surin haha) I have to say thailand was the happiest time in my life. cant tell how much i regret spending 30 years in germany surrounded with so much negativity. this guy here just woke me up...i need to change my enviroment or i will be unhappy forever.. i got my COE and TR Visa and will leave again by end of March (counting days) i know nothing about MMA but after i saw this video here i just made the decission.... will join a muay thai gym get ED Visa and i will stay with my GF there..no matter what! wish me luck guys Thank You Thank You Thank You Sean!
If you want to pursue something, & there's a lot of negativity & naysayers around you, change your environment. Be consistent Invest Vision Not much social life. Mimic people you want to imitate, & their success will be your success.
After I fell off a roof and broke my back, I was introduced to Muay Thai by a co-worker who just happened to be an instructor. I am 53 years old and It has totally changed my outlook on life.
I have started at the age of 27, Kickboxing 7 months ago thinking of eventually transitioning to MMA, but now I have changed my goal to just boxing. I train from youtube at home. I am unemployed since completing B-tech in mechanical engineering in 2018. Looking for job. But that is not the point here.
WoW!..I'm 53 ,I could only fight and ride a bike when I was a young boy,ended up in construction on weed following family shit..lol. You go Sean !! I'll dream through you bro!
Greetings! I wanted to know about CTE Muay thai compared to other contact sports is it a bit safer for the brain considering that it relies more than other sports on kicks to the body and the kicks to the head are less frequent and come from lighter weight fighters? If we were to compare the percentage of blows to the head in a career as a muay thai fighter compared to a career in mma or kickboxing can we say that if you practice muy thai you are more protected? (seeing many fighters who have over 300 kicks and are in their 60's and are very mentally fit). Thank you very much!I ask because I have a 7 year old boy who wants to do contact sports and we are looking for sports that have less impact on the brain.
If you have a dream or an idea, go for it. Life is frightfully short (you will realize that when you are sniffing at 60) and you are ultimately the one in charge.
Sean Fagan’s story @themuaythaiguy is one close to my heart.

Treasure the ones that believes in you.
I appreciate the love man! Thanks for helping put this together and being a big influence in my journey 🙏

his story inspires me to be an mma fighter in one championship
Hell yeah do it bro
Thank youuu,i need this motivation
I didnt think that this very successful guy would start this video sobbing and crying about what people were saying.
Lol
Really appreciate this guys content
God Only Knows How Much I respect him
I don't see the value in online Muay thai training, seems like a great way to pick up a load of bad habits (poor execution of techniques) without realising. Money is far better spent investing in a membership to a good gym with active fighters and legitimate kru's. Good to support your local club and they will support you!
It's better than nothing. And it's a great way to learn new things you can take to your in person training.
What if people don't have local clubs? You have to start somewhere. Learn the techniques on your own and practice them to perfection.
@@justinhearst Then thats your best option, maybe video yourself too so you can check your form
Not everyone has a kru near them or the money for membership.
It's better than nothing
great mindset, perspective and attitude brother, keep up the hard work and congratulations on finding and pursuing your path to success!!
❤️❤️
Love the mindset, very inspirational!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Lawrence ! Miss you guys and Thailand!
Miss u dusty hope you’re well
Awesome guy and an awesome fighter. Keep up the great work both of ypu

wow you are inspirational dude
You are
Awesome 👊🙏

Bendiciones!!! Un caso de estudio!!! Éxitos!!!!
@Lawrence Kenshin it's about time to do videos on Khabib's MMA style Combat Sambo, Grappling and Freestyle wrestling.
I'm sure he was pretty pumped for this
very inspiring
WoW!..I'm 53 ,I could only fight and ride a bike when I was a young boy,ended up in construction on weed following family shit..lol. You go Sean !! I'll dream through you bro!
Great story! Out of curiosity how has COVID-19 effected training in Thailand?
yes no one can enter
I remember I used to be online friends with him back when he was starting his amateur career. Sadly, we fell out on contact.
Who is the fighter at 13:13?
He is a super cool dude!
Amazing guy.
Cheers
Thank you
What kind of visa are you on and how did you obtain it in thailand?
Im training at Teamquest too bro
Is this why Sean hasn't been posting?
No he had multiple break ins lately in his home

Brilliant!
For me hè is a Hero!
Great!!!

To be fair Sean Fagan isn't that normal, he's incredibly athletic naturally. He played D1 baseball I think.
You two are amazing! Thanks. Two of the people who inspired me to be a fighter, and move to Thailand next year.
