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, the 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 believe in you.

I appreciate the love man! Thanks for helping put this together and being a big influence in my journey 🙏
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.
do u reside in thailand ?
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
Love that dude... been following him for a while now.
cheers
This dude is solid, through and through, produces wise, valuable content on instagram. I just want to say I have a massive appreciation for this guy
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.
Very inspirational video. Love the energy of this guy
thank you for watching
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.
Cheers
I know he retired from MT for now, but he still inspires me to follow on the path of the nak muay, thank you Sean Fagan!
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.
I like Sean. Even his training sessions are valuable for regular people. Wishing him well. 🤜🤛
Quality - All round from Sean Fagan and Lawrence Kenshin. I have been watching and reading alot of articles from these two. Awesome.
Thank you brother
Not only Sean but we watching pursuing many of our own goals feel inspired. Thank you Lawrence on your part of bringing this out. Sean is a monster.
Massive good vibrations - def feelin the vision
Love it man, great stuff. Been a nomad for 10 yr so a lot of those lessons resonate.
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 🙏💯
keep going brother. thanks for the support
@@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.

I'm definitely going to his muay thai camp when it opens up 💯

Sean's a great guy and has helped so many
Sean is Badass! Been watching him for years.

Love it man. 2 of my favourite martial arts UA-camr!
Thank you brother
great mindset, perspective and attitude brother, keep up the hard work and congratulations on finding and pursuing your path to success!!

wonderful documentary, I have to respect his positive use of the internet to get what he needs done.
I love how that book inspires across different disciples
Sean and Lawrence, always great informative content
Thanks
🙏🙏
I constantly use his supplemental techniques in my workouts, so thankful to him.
You're a great and inspiring guy thanks Sean you made start combat sports and motivating me to pursue the dream I have
wow, really inspirational journey. Keep up the good work Mr. Fagan 👍
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!!
Sean is such a humble dude.
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.
thanks bro ill foward this message to Sean
Great story and great knowledge, all pilled up in those 17 minutes!!!
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. 👊
cheers brother
Wow. what an inspirng story from sean fagan...thank you llawrence kenshin for sharing this. Whar a bullet proof mind from both of you. Salute.
🙏🙏
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.
his trips are awesome!
Very good video. And I agree both physical and online training is a great way to advance... I use your videos on my days out the gym . Thanks
Really appreciate this guys content

You two are amazing! Thanks. Two of the people who inspired me to be a fighter, and move to Thailand next year.
I really believe this is what those entrepreneur or successful people should share with us 👍

his story inspires me to be an mma fighter in one championship
Hell yeah do it bro
I remember I used to be online friends with him back when he was starting his amateur career. Sadly, we fell out on contact.
Amazing guy.
Cheers
He is a super cool dude!
Bendiciones!!! Un caso de estudio!!! Éxitos!!!!
For me hè is a Hero!
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
@Lawrence Kenshin it's about time to do videos on Khabib's MMA style Combat Sambo, Grappling and Freestyle wrestling.
God Only Knows How Much I respect him
To be fair Sean Fagan isn't that normal, he's incredibly athletic naturally. He played D1 baseball I think.
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.
Breaks my heart to see how Covid has derailed so many dreams for people this past year
Nice too see
Great story! Out of curiosity how has COVID-19 effected training in Thailand?
yes no one can enter
Sean's a fkn beast!
indeed
guys, he was working 20, 30, 40, 50 hours a week
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.
Nice.
cheers
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!
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....

Thank You Thank You Thank You Sean!
Being in the right place at the right time :)
That helps
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.
