Some of the above Martial artists i have found to be the source of great inspiration. And some of them in my list will have found inspiration from the No.1. Mr Bruce lee, who was responsible for me flinging kicks and punches before i even knew what a martial art was, He was an extremely dedicated artist who inspired many people in the world even after his untimely death.
Bruce lee moved martial arts in the direction it has now went. Because of him we enjoy our current climate of martial arts where all the phonies have been exposed and martial arts are so open. There is always something to learn and it would take more than 10 lifetimes to learn it all but you've got to keep on trying. I know i am.
Yours in Muay,

THANK YOU’s
Hello guys i would like to extend a thank you to all my coaches, trainers and sparring partners who i have had the pleasure of working with.
A special thank you also goes out to the two best sparring partners ever, Stevie Sheddon and Stevie Houston who were my toughest opponents ever in the class environment, (hey we sparred very hard alot of time without shinguards) lol. And there performance in the ring was extraordinary considering none of them had ever been to Thailand and our knowledge back then was diddly squat compared to what we have now and what is available now. If “The Two Stevies” as i like to refer to them were in there prime competing today under Muay Thai in its current climate with the knowledge available i have no doubt in my mind they would be world title contenders. And i thank them for all those hard sessions because they did me nothing but good.
Big shout to Big John Houston, who was my official pad holder until his retirement and who was also my training partner for many years in the early days and we trained together in many 3 hour sessions, crazy i know. Shout out to Toddy who has spent many a gym session with me and we have did some crazy routines together. Visit his site in the links above.
Also a mention should go to other training partners such as Tommy Ross, Michael Johnstonne, Robert Burt, Matt Duncan, Scott Roberston, Gordon Ross, Ricky lapsley, and many more who have had to endure some punishment, hehe, just kidding guys, Keep it Real and keep training hard. Thank You,
Alex Sneddon
