Great to see one letting us get to see the funnier, more relatable side of the athletes. . . Liams funny man! Not so much when he’s wanting to boot your legs off and clean your jaw into next week haha 💥 . . Good work on your win at the weekend mate. Buzzing for you to win in such fashion after the other results you got. . . Now time for @andybadco to step up and go crazy in them 4oz gloves. You guys are maddddd 🤣💥

Can’t wait 💥
Saturday sessions are the greatest thing since sli Saturday sessions are the greatest thing since sliced bread!! . . The @northern_kings_gym family push, educate and entertain our way through a narrrrrsty session! . . There’s no greater feeling than you blowing out your loop but still having to push harder, further and for for longer to try and maintain your activity levels. . . Sometimes I don’t realise how hard I hit and forget to pull back and I need telling. I really don’t realise and have to apologise and concentrate on pulling back. . . It’s usually when I’m sparring someone of a similar level to me or more experienced then when you get hit, you think... “right, my turn now!!” . . I love these guys. Looks like I have another fight in the diary for April now too!! 4 fights booked in so far!! I’m buzzing! . . Everything is falling into place perfectly. Training frequently, getting challenged both in and out of the ring. . . This year will be an exciting year. The hard work to create consistency in my training was the mission last year. Now we have that, it’s time to get active and have some fun in the ring while I can. . . Thank you for today guys 🙏🏽. . . P.s. you’ll all notice how fresh @fredperegrino is looking, man walked in for sparring at the end of the session 🤣🤣. . . I obliged and took three rounds with him. Got a little video for you so will update IGTV with that in a little bit :).
Can’t wait for this one man!! . . @onechampionsh Can’t wait for this one man!! . . @onechampionship are leading the way!! @jhaggerty_ and @liambadco both feature on the amazing promotion in Bangkok today. . .

Deep waters will be tread and we’ll come out the other side stronger no matter the result. . . Building upon the foundation we’ve already built together to gain momentum and take on the challenges presented. . . I’ll be stepping up in my next outing. Competing under Pro-Am rules. That means elbows, knees to the head and longer rounds. . . All things I’m yet to experience in the ring or even properly in sparring to be honest. . . That being said, I feel up for the challenge and ready for some fun! Fighting twice in one night will be a new one for me too!! . . Fighting names I thought were well out of my league, at least for now. But now look at where we are. . . Getting to do a bit of travelling to compete will be fun too! Getting to Widnes for @roarcombat_fightingmachines and then up to East Kilbride for @ekfightgym and their home show run by John Craig. . . Paid competition too!! So many new and exciting things ahead! Thank you so much for helping me and supporting me in this crazy journey! . . Forever thankful and grateful for the opportunities presented 🙏🏽
You can’t change the past, the most important th You can’t change the past, the most important thing is you have started now... . . One thing I regularly said when I first started was I wish I found Muay Thai sooner. . . But realistically, you can’t change what has happened in the past. If you would like to try it or are thinking about it, then do it. . . What have you got to lose? Even if you don’t want to fight, the training process, everything about it, is productive and positive in its approach. . . It’s growth. I love it me, as soon as I felt that first crack of the pads in the quiet beginners class at @northern_kings_gym, I knew I had found my place in the world. . . Not to fight, because I didn’t want to fight then either but to be in an environment where I am influenced to make positive decisions both in and out the gym. . . You’re not going to want to go to McDonald’s on your dinner if you know you have training in a couple of hours, you’ll opt for a healthier option from the market you’ve just passed instead. . . This meme is funny man! Got me thinking and I thought I’d share it with you too! Exciting times ahead guys! . . I can’t wait to show you some of the stuff I’ve been working on 💥
I love seeing the benefits that Muay Thai can have I love seeing the benefits that Muay Thai can have on people. . . You can’t underestimate the power of good, positive vibes and 2 hours in the Muay Thai gym. . . When you’re in the gym, nothing else matters. You are focussing on one thing and one thing only. . . The change in mindset that you can have is just incredible. . . Picture this, you’re having the worst day... literally, the worst day ever. You go to the gym, have the best session, smash a PB or exceed an expectation and it completely changes your mindset. . . I’m so lucky to be able to feel that benefit daily. I wish other people could too, which is why my passion for spreading the word of the positive impact of Thai is important to me. . . How it effects me on the daily is just crazy. I have something to look forward to every night. I know that there is nothing in the world that can’t be put right in them four walls with my NK fam around me. . . Two very big announcements coming up tomorrow after I’ve been given the all clear to give them 😉😉. So excited for this one. . . Target is going to be well on track hahaha (psych 🤣). . . Proudly sponsored by @spraymastersuk & @rostudio_ne . . Proud ambassador of @notoriousfightgear 👑... use FATTOFIGHTER20 for 20% off! . . Use FatLad10 for £10 off a £50 spend at @funkygums too 💥
Steel sharpens steel 💥💥 . . Looking forward Steel sharpens steel 💥💥 . . Looking forward to getting back in there with @jakethirlaway93 this year man. . . We spent a lot of time together last year, fine tuning the small things and making big steps towards improvement. . . We have our plan and regime in place. We will he looking to continue the Sunday sessions going into this year. . . Getting into NK at every opportunity, immerse ourselves deeper into the sport and learning and growing. . . 2020 is going to be massive. What plans you got? Time for action 💥💥
Uh oh! Man like Fat Lad getting all @notoriousfigh Uh oh! Man like Fat Lad getting all @notoriousfightgear on us 💥 . . Last night I was lucky enough to be chosen to be an ambassador for Notorious Fight Gear. . . I am honoured to be chosen to represent Notorious. I think they’re class! A very forward thinking and innovative brand. . . Humbled and truly thankful for the chance. Thank you so much for the kind words. I really don’t see anything special in what I do. . . Most of the time I think it’s quite selfish of me to be pursuing this track in life but I can’t help but feel the pull and need to want to do it. . . It’s not easy. It’s not for everyone. But it’s fun! At least they’re able to make me look good on video haha. . . Thank you guys. Make sure you head over to @notoriousfightgear and show them some loving in true fat lad fashion! . . Podcast coming soon! Stay tuned 👀
Looking forward to getting back at it tonight! Ton Looking forward to getting back at it tonight! Tonight can’t come quick enough! . . Back on the road this morning, diet is getting tidied up and the goals have been set. . . The Christmas rest was very much welcomed but I’m ready now. 2020 better be ready. . . Repetition and drills make for skillsssss 💥💥 . . Posted @withrepost • @heibaokon Happy new balanced year everyone! Those are some of the moments you liked the most (or the algorithm did) 🥰 I really appreciate your loyal support. It is great to be part of a big community that share the love for the martial arts path: a physical and spiritual journey of self improvement ! It’s great to use social media for inspiration motivation and knowledge but we should always remember that there is no short cuts and no replacement for hard work, no replacement for real sweat, and there is no replacement for real life teacher. Don’t forget to look people in the eyes and talk to them and communicate with full commitment. I am Grateful for all the moments, sweet & bitter, grateful for my teachers my wife my family my friends and my students 🙏🏽🔥🙏🏽wish you all the best guys ❤️ . . 🙏🏽 🔥 🔥 #thaiboxing #muaythai #muaythaiboxing #muaythailifestyle #muaythaitechniques #selfdefense #muaythaitraining #muaythailife #mmatraining #sparring #muaythaifighter #muaythaiboxing #אימונים #nakmuay #warriorlife #fighterlife #martialartstricking #martialartslife #selfdefence #איגרוףתאילנדי #sparringsession #sparringday #heavybag #punchingbag #karate #kungfu #gongfu #shadowboxing #shadowbox
Righting those wrongs of 2019 💥. . . 1st run of Righting those wrongs of 2019 💥. . . 1st run of 2020 done. Minging. Can see it getting easier but running is something that I honestly dislike to do. . . Understanding the necessity of something and implementing it into your regime because of its benefits it’s something you simply must do. . . I mean, no one likes to do 200 skip knees, 150 teeps or 100 kicks each leg, but we do it because it makes us better. . . Running for me is this necessary evil. It’s time to accept it and move on. Properly implement it into my training and reap the benefits. . . Happy Monday people, been up since 4.30, day one of new plan, wrote an article, been out for a run, time to food prep and get ready for work. . . Getting those wrongs put right and starting as we mean to go on! I’ll be live on insta between 8-9am, check it, get your questions sent in on the story 🥳🥳
When in doubt, give the leg a clout 💥 . . I’v When in doubt, give the leg a clout 💥 . . I’ve enjoyed Christmas, don’t get me wrong, but I’m more than ready to get back to @northern_kings_gym tomorrow. . . I’ve enjoyed taking my foot of the gas and spending time with my boys and eating, quite frankly, my body weight in food. . . (Check my story, you’ll see the evidence haha). Back to making good life choices, and getting my head back into the game. . . The shows begin to pick up again in Feb, so 4 weeks are going to be spent sharpening back up and getting the weight to an acceptable walk around haha. . . I do hope you all enjoyed your time off (if you got any) over the festive period. Took some time to recharge and refocus. . . I’ll be announcing more stuff over the next week on the website so make sure you stay tuned. . . I’ve updated a few articles on there, most recently an interview with @liammcgrandles, the links in the bio, get on it :). . . Happy Sunday everyone, Fat Lad... out 💥
Haggerty’s style and charisma is class!! I take Haggerty’s style and charisma is class!! I take a lot from watching his fights!! . . I can’t wait to see him take @rodtang_jimungnon to deep, deep waters and bring back that @onechampionship golddddd 🔥🔥 . .

💥 The first Saturday session of 2020 did NOT di 💥 The first Saturday session of 2020 did NOT disappoint!! . . What a group of people man! Everyone was ready with fires lit under their belly ready to put the graft for 2020. . . Seeing some new faces come through the door as well as some old ones getting ready to smash their way into the new year. . . Classes at @northern_kings_gym start again on Monday, I’m very much looking forward to structure again in my life. . . Too easily I am distracted and become unmotivated and lazy but with a good, solid routine and a good group of people around me, we’re set for nothing but success. . . Obviously my interpretation of successful is different to yours.l and we live to accept that and continue to move forward. . . One thing I have learned last year is that you cannot let the opinion of others affect what it is you are doing. . . That in my head makes zero sense. No one can pass judgement on you for one simple reason, they’re not you nor have they haven’t experienced what you have. . . If you focus on yourself, your goals, your forward moving momentum then life becomes quiet. . . You become tunnel vision on what’s important to you and focussed on achieving whatever it was you wanted to. . . Simply put, I wish you all the best for 2020. It’ll be hard graft but the feeling you get when you begin making progress can’t be matched. . . Thanks for an amazing 2019... #TeamNK are on for a takeover 💥💥
Going to be seeing 2020 in with a bang 💥💥 . Going to be seeing 2020 in with a bang 💥💥 . . Itching to get moving and hitting things again after taking a lovely rest over Christmas. . . I’m busy arranging some trips and sessions between now and the new year and into the end of the week starting 2020 in the way we mean to go on! . . It’s crazy how quick you begin to feel unfit again, I said I wouldn’t go back up to 83kg after christmas but even now, at 79kilos, I feel sluggish and heavy. . . I know I’ve eaten... A LOT, and that it will sharp come off again when I clean my diet up but hey, it’s Christmas and we’re allowed to have our treats :). . . I do hope you’ve all had a class Christmas, this video was caught at the open session on Monday, looking forward to getting back there tomorrow and firing stuff back up! . . What training have you managed to get in so far? You got any fights lined up to aim for? . . Awesome T-shirt by @leapfrogcombatsports @notoriousfightgear @cbdloveuk 💥
🌲Merry Christmas everyone. . . First of all, I 🌲Merry Christmas everyone. . . First of all, I would like to say sorry I haven’t been posting much over this past week. . . After the build up to the last fight and I felt I needed to take the time to deflate ready to fire back up again after the festivities. . . I’ve had the most amazing time this Christmas with the most amazing people. I often say that you are a product of your environment and thoughts. . . I feel I have done my part this year to positively impact a couple of other peoples time this year and that’s between me and those people. . . I’ve been thinking a lot about the Fat Lad journey and the overall goal a lot of what I’m doing here. . . I’ve ate more than my current weight (oh dear!) in quality scran. Got the Christmas dinner nailed and the kiddies had an fantastic time. . . I’m back, training tomorrow, getting new plans and goals in place ready to take 2020 by storm. . . I’m so thankful for the people around me and my family for creating a positive, forward moving environment to thrive in. . . Merry christmas everyone. I do hope you all had an amazing time. . . Next up, new year! Stay tuned for some videos coming soon and new goals and challenges to be working towards 💥
Using the end of the year to reflect... . . Obviou Using the end of the year to reflect... . . Obviously it’s the season for new year new me status’ and New Years resolutions. I too am using this time of year to set goals as we dawn into a new decade. . . It’s great to see the progress that has been made, even just this year. The picture on the right is my on victory 4 last year. . . The picture on the left is from Victory 5. It’s been a year great for me in terms of training, I’ve been lucky enough to have time to dedicate to training, had some good wins which has enabled me to get straight back into the gym. . . As we come to the end of 2019, I really can see a good path ahead and believe in the Fat Lad capabilities to connect, inspire and share what goes into becoming a fighter. . . I love it, live it and breathe Muay Thai (as much as I can in my own way). It’s going to be exciting to see where will all end up over the next 3-5 years. . . I like this photo because it looks like it’s me resting my arm on me. I do feel like a different person to last year. The physical difference is maddd! . . Building on the solid foundation I have set now, looking forward to the turn of a new decade, we a new purpose and drive to be and do better. . . Hope you’re all looking forward to the festivities. I’m looking forward to getting my training back in place with meeting getting set with people to get rounds in :). . . What do you do to make sure there isn’t too much weight gain over the Christmas period?? . . What do you think about firing up #fltfaccountability for the new year? Get us all motivated and active 👌🏼
