Trainor V Howson 4…

This massive event take place on Sunday 24th June 2012 at the Tower Ballroom, Edgbaston, Birmingham.

The first 3 fights have all been outstanding. Non stop action.

I am really looking forward to promoting this show as my shows for the last few years have just been C and B class shows, so this will be a nice change.

I will be putting together a full undercard of exciting fights, so please email your list of fighters to stevelogan@btconnect.com

The Tower Ballroom is probably the best venue of its size in the country.

K-Star have been running Thai Boxing shows there for over 16 yrs and there is always an electric atmosphere.

The venue has fantastic facilities with massive bars that still enable you to watch all the fights even when queuing for drinks. There is a restaurant serving hot food and snacks, ideal if you have travelled by coach.

This may sound strange but all the tickets provide you with a seat. (many venues do not have seating and customers must pay extra for the seating area!!)

Also a huge car park providing free parking. (Always a bonus)

Tickets are just £30 and will go on sale in a few weeks. This show will be a sell out, so get them quick. You can buy the securely online using PayPal here http://www.k-starthaiboxing.com/apps/webstore/products/show/1117476

They are available from any fighter on the bill or by credit card from K-Star 0121 331 4074.

You will be learning some great self defence moves while burning calories!!

The course will run for 6 weeks and will be starting very soon, please fill in the enquiry form below and we will send you all the details asap.

Places will be limited, so please get in quick and book your place.

We will be holding courses in Sheldon , Perry Barr and Birmingham City Centre.

Please fill in the form below.

Please pass this on to any female friends or family members that you think
may be interested.

In this blog I will share with you how you can feel successful and use this feeling to motivate yourself to even greater things.

Notice that i said ‘feeling’ successful as many people are successful by ‘normal’ standards, but still don’t ‘feel’ successful and  everyone else is amazed when they find out that they don’t feel successful. The reason for this is because of the goals, rules and standards that they have set for themselves are very high. They haven’t met them, so the don’t feel successful.

The person on the forum was comparing my shows to another show and insinuating that the other show was better or more successful. Maybe on the outside that may appear true, but firstly , they were two completely different type of shows and secondly, MY shows meet MY goals.

Let me explain, the other show features lots of top Thai boxing stars from gyms all around the country, what we call ‘A Class’ fights, where as my goal for my shows is to highlight my own gym and my own fighters and mainly features what we call ‘C and B class’ fights. I am in NO way competing with these shows. So this person (not the promoter by the way) should really be comparing them with like for like.  So the big A Class show should be compared with other A Class shows such as MSA Supershows, The main Event, Xplosion by Semtex and Supershowdown and Power of Scotland up in Scotland. Is it better than those shows? I don’t know.

All of the above shows are better than mine in one way, but I am not trying to compete with that.

Let me explain a little more about what I mean when I say how successful you feel depends upon the goals you have set for yourself. Imagine being a British Champion at your favourite sport, Imagine being a Millionaire, Imagine loosing 10 pounds of body fat, Imagine having your own 5 bedroom house, or brand new BMW etc All pretty great achievements and I am sure that most people would feel pretty successful if they achieved any of those things.  BUT what if you wanted to be World Champion  and was ‘only’ a British Champion? You wanted to be a Billionaire, but was ‘only’ a millionaire, wanted to loose 15 pounds of fat and have 6 % bodyfat, but ‘only’lost 10 pounds, what if you wanted a 10 bed room mansion or a Ferrari etc? Now you might not feel so successful, because you hadn’t achieved what you wanted, even though by most standards you are .

So. I thought that I would share with you, what some of my goals are and why I feel pretty successful in some areas of my life. With my shows, my goal is and always has been to promote my own fighters and gym. This all started out many years ago when I was first starting out running my K-Star gym, at the time I wan’t running shows, so would put my fighters on other peoples shows. As K-Star  was one of only  2 active Thai Boxing gyms in Birmingham that often meant fighting on Kickboxing shows. The local kickboxing promoter keep trying to stitch my fighters up by putting them with more experienced fighters, so I decided that I would have to look after my own fighters and put on my own small shows. Which I have done ever since.   My shows ALWAYS have several K-Star fighters on (sometimes upto 10) and they are usually in the main event.

I believe that we always have a very exciting show at the Tower, I believe that my shows always show my fighters and my gym in a good light. Over the years I have been able to promote my fighters in a safe and logical manner and I have been able to make sure that they have had the opportunities to fight for the titles that they deserve. Over the years, for my own fighters I have been able to arrange title fights at all levels Area, English, Anglo Welsh, Anglo Irish and British titles. Also for my own fighters I have promoted a few European title fights and 2 World Title fights for Damien Trainor.

Other shows may be bigger but I don’t feel bad about that, as that is not what I am trying to do, so I am not in competition with those types of shows. Good luck to the promoters, who I am sure would not be satisfied with putting on shows like mine. But ….. given what my goals and aims are, I feel that I have done a great job , consistently, over many years, so I feel VERY successful after every show as I know that I have fulfilled MY goals!

When I set up K-Star, I had one major goal and that was to make my students better than I am/was. That was and is my goal and I have certainly done that! I pretty much stopped competing so that I could focus all my efforts into my students. So many of my students have done so much better than I have and as an Instructor, I feel so proud of what they have achieved. It’s pretty hard to measure how good someone is, but I was the BTBC Midland Champion and I have produced Many, many area Champions, English Champions, British Champions and also European and World Champions, so I feel that based on my own ability, I have done an amazing job and as I said earlier, I am very proud of that, so I’ feel’ very successful.

Now days I focus a lot on training my students to be full time instructors in my Muay Thai academies and again my goal is to produce better instructors. I have now trained a lot of Instructors , in fact a lot of the most  successful Thai Boxing Instructors in Birmingham have been trained by me and gone through my Instructor training programme. I have a brilliant team of Instructors running my current academies who are doing a very good job and I am proud of them and I know that K-Star will get stronger and stronger, so again I ‘feel’ very successful.

How does this help you? Well I will show (in part 2) you how to set goals so that you always ‘feel’ successful at every step of your journey to become a ‘successful’ Thai boxer/ nak muay or whatever you want to be.
