    I used to do Muay-thai up at Skipper’s school on King Street….that man is a BEAST!

    He would lead 90-minute cardio sessions…I was only 23 at the time, in decent shape, and I’d be DEAD by the end of it, while he’d still be there without even having broke a sweat.

    CONGRATS, SKIPPER! YOU’RE A LEGEND!
