Mark Strong is a 4th Degree Black Belt Martial Arts Instructor with over
twenty-five years experience in Kickboxing and Muaythai. Hailing from
a small brewing town in the Midlands in the U.K., he is also a writer and
a Personal Trainer, and has been, at various points in his life, a
singer/songwriter in an ‘almost made it’ suedehead band in the 90’s, a
full-contact kickboxer, a Muaythai fighter, and an English Teacher,
amongst other things.
After a training accident in 2002 (during which he suffered two cracked
discs in his back, leaving him barely able to walk), he was informed by
doctors that his Martial Arts training had come to an end. However,
refusing to accept this as fact, he promptly began researching and
studying principles and methods which would enable him to take greater
control over his mindset and circumstances, rather than simply accepting
his fate as “bad luck”. He soon discovered that these principles, which
some are now hailing as new discoveries, were in fact timeless, ageless,
hugely beneficial and powerful techniques for improving and enhancing
ones existence.
By March 2004, at the age of 35, he was competing again in full contact
kickboxing (which gained him a place in the British squad) and less than
a year later he was living in the steaming, exotic heat of Thailand, the home of
Muaythai, where he trained with a former world champion and competed in the
highly demanding discipline of Muaythai (Thai boxing) for over three years.
He currently lives in Thailand with his wife and daughters, where he
continues his studies into mental and physical improvement, does
personal training in his own private gym, and also writes fiction novels.
He trains everyday, and dedicates all of his works to the doctor who told
him in 2002 to “forget about your kickboxing, you won’t be doing any
more of that”.
Respect.
