Muaythai Journal Episode 2: Sam A Gaiyanghaadao
5October 3, 2012 by Melissa Ray
The second installment of John Wolcott’s Muaythai Journal series is out! For this episode the subject is Sam A Gaiyanghaadao—winner of the 2011 Sports Writers’ Fighter of the Year Award and current 122lb Thailand and Lumpini champion. In the documentary Sam A talks about what drives him, his beginnings in Muay Thai, and his feelings on his achievements. Sam A’s trainer at Petchyindee Academy Tawiwat Sutti (or Petch Chor Vigo as he is more famously known) also passes commentary on Sam A’s discipline and preparation for fights. In the final minutes of the episode we are treated to Sam A on pads and get the opportunity to watch that infamous left kick in action.
I had the pleasure of seeing John at work when he came to film Neungthep, Rungubon and Bpagaipetch at Eminent Air. Self-funded, John has shown incredible dedication and hard work to produce this documentary series and his love for Muay Thai is clear in every installment.

John Wolcotts Muay Thai series is outstanding, so glad to see them here
It is. I’m looking forward to seeing the remaining installments – especially the ones of the Eminent boys of course!
I was looking into training at Eminent air actually! Looks like a great gym.
