I found out a few days ago that Daew (one of the boys Evan and I trained with at Lanna Muay Thai Gym) has died.

Young Daew was what I can only call a 'Cool Fighter'. His kick was pure poetry in motion it whipped out like the strike of a beautiful snake. He was a nice looking kid of 17 with wide eyes and an open friendly face. I remember him getting me to change my fighting stance from that which the instructors had taught me. He pulled my hands fore and aft and kicked my feet back a bit, outwards, I asked him why. He looked at me, smiled and said, "You want to look Good."

Daew was a lovely kid and I will not forget him.
