The Legend of the Dragon of Phuket…

Not sure how many of you guys reading and following my blog know ‘Yogi Simon’.

He teaches the Yoga classes at Tiger Muay Thai and after extensive training under Kru Oh is an assistant instructor in the Krabi Kabong class.

Simon is a complete martial artist.  He is an entertainer (the art of story telling), He is a fighter (both weapons and combat sport), He is a Healer (Yoga and Massage), and he is one of the most enlightened wyrd guys I know :)

*An interesting fact about Simon…He never ‘charges’ for a private lesson in Krabi Kabong or Yoga…he only asks for a donation*—which I find as an interesting approach to  ‘earning a living’.  I highly recommend people taking a private lesson with Simon….at the very least to have him tell you a one hour story :)

…Simon has been living in Thailand a very long time–and speaks Thai very well.

After a game of Chess…he started sharing a story about Phuket, and how Tiger Muay Thai is in a  mystical place in Southeast Asia…I asked him to let me record the story—hope you enjoy it :)
