"What FIGHTING Taught Me About Life"
What does success mean to you? What does failure mean to you?
The Muay Thai Guy Sean Fagan set out to live his life pursuing what his heart was telling him - to pursue the path of a fighter.
But he quickly realise that even in the pursuit of your dream life, it requires sacrifices and the ability to face your own demons when things get challenging.
There were times in Sean’s journey where he seriously contemplated giving up the fight life.
The times he could have just laid on the canvas after getting knocked down, and wait for the referee to finish the count.
But the sheer willpower to stand up after getting knocked down, and to choose to look at pain and suffering in the face instead of running away, is such an extraordinary journey of self-discovery.
The more he fought, the more he learnt about himself.
It is the confidence in knowing that you have the ability to overcome adversity.
Losing a fight or making wrong decisions in life are mistakes that you can learn from, not failures. Failure is when you give up and stop trying.
And for Sean, knowing that he has the power to stand up after getting knocked down, gave him the courage and confidence in his own abilities to deal with other challenges in life.
This is why he feels that everyone can benefit from taking a fight, to find out who you are.

I still remember my feeling when I have to push myself to go for evening BJJ class after work, it never be easy. Just one week before my gym closed due to corona virus, I have just be promoted into two stripes (white belt), but I never let corona virus incident hinder me. Now I am doing boxing drills, swiss ball drill and some workouts as far as I can, hoping that when my gym reopen, I will continue my training with stronger physiques and smarter move, and hoping that the next year it may be my time to become a blue belt. Your story is very inspiring for me, respect!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and story 🙏🙏
@@lordofwarnick1557 that's amazing man!!!! I trained 6 months bjj never got 1 stripe lmfao. I'm a tiger with no stripes!! But I did win some rolls with purple belts. Off pure strength and will💪👍🤓
If you HAD TO honestly list the following martial arts/combat styles from most to least useful and effective in A REAL 1v1 unarmed FIGHT, with number 1 being the most effective/useful, how would list these: Judo, BJJ, Wrestling, Tai Chi, Wing Chun, Boxing, Kickboxing, MuayThai, Aikido, and Tae Kwon Do.
@@anderleiyotochuckst-emelcr7285 There is a saying that "the most beautiful shoes may not fit your feet". This thing is true for choosing a martial art that fits yourself. P.S. I am praying for my gym to reopen soon.
Like the wise monk said to Sagat after his losing streak - "Don't be seduced by fame when you're rising, don't give up when you fall".
❤️
Success means to me, being truly happy with the character I have built, the person I've become and I'm becoming. Success to me is expressing myself truly, helping my community and doing what I love in the process.
Failure, simply lessons to keep me on the right path to success.
Thank you for sharing. This is truly inspiring as I am on a very similar journey 🙏🙏
thanks for sharing bro! love watching you grind it out! keep going!
@@LawrenceKenshin Thank brother! Means a ton coming from you man!

I started kickboxing last September, and i remember before that i felt all my entire life an emptiness deep in side on my heart related to acceptance from others. Martials arts gave me something that even my job or family can fill my heart. Like he said, you learn about your self. I also was to preparing myself to fight on next December in an tournament and i was so much motivated to show that i could do it and even win it. One month and half as passed since the lock down because of the virus, and i'm really beginning to fell really depressed and sad. I tried to train by myself but i lost completely the motivation and its been really hard to get back on track. Really miss the pads and the sparring. Keep up the good word. Keep health.
Were all in the same boat now. Keep healthy bro. You already have the goal. One way i do it is by strength and conditioning. TH-cam have so much info. Top priority is always progressing. Stay strong.
@@syazanayla8094 great words brotha and there is no such thing as motivation there is only determination how much you want it or do you even want it at all we have one life and one body don’t waste the potential and chances because of fears doubts or other ppl
@@Peace-keeper999 after a year its a good time to watch this again
Hey man, you back to training? Hope all is well 🙏
did one fight in thailand, got knocked out twice, stood up, won. agreed on everything said here. couldn't train for one month after but it was all worth it
Resilience !
Thank you all he said is true. You learnt so much inside the ring. Nobody else can teach you that.
cheers
I have been an individual scared of fighting or problems through my whole life, I could say I'm also a quitter in some things.
I started training kickboxing and Muay Thai over a month ago and things just got serious there. I were in my very first sparring session and I had never sparred before. Since I'm not used to take kicks (low kicks), well, they just snapped my leg and had to stop training for a week due to the bruises and pain.
I thought for a few times if I am really made for this or if I should quit, but I just saw this. Now I remember that it will take time and we have to face our fears.
Thank you guys. I promise to be the hero of my own story in every single area in my life or die trying.
Fighting is a calling dude, some people have it, some dont. Warrior spirit🙏
Thank you for helping spread our national sport. I am very proud to have a lover of Muay Thai.
Subbed to you both, this video rocks. Love the content from both of you, much respect!
Awesome! Thank you!
Sean Fagan is a great definition of a fighter. Been a fan of that guy for a while. He puts a lot of content out there that ppl can add to their own game too. All you guys put out dope content all the time.
fighter for sure!
From bell to bell. Guy never quits.
Thanks for the love Mike 🙏
Wow thanks so much for the love and support Mike, it really means a lot!
This story, like few, really touched me. I thank you infinitely for sharing this kind of content
I would love for everyone to be able to surround themselves with the truth transmitted in this interview, whatever your sport, these words apply perfectly to it.
I wish you the best of luck with your channel, you definitely deserve more, but it's always about "patience" in life.
Thank you for the support brother
How inspiring. Love sean and his content. He has a bunch of great thai workouts
indeed!!
I've only had a couple fights as an amateur kickboxer. Won them but injured my rib before my next one. After that I tore my ACL and then it was just a domino effect of injuries so I haven't competed seriously since. I still train to stay in shape but I'm always thinking about 1 maybe two more fights before I turn 40.
I also believe the process into becoming a fighter training sparring everyday is quite an experience you'll get no where else. A life changer
thank you for sharing bro
Another awesome documentary, please keep them coming!!
❤️
Awesome video, Lawrence. I'm subscribed to both you guys. This is an amazing, in depth look at Sean's background and journey.
Really inspirational.. and I seem to have came across this at the perfect time in my life.
This is so, so good. Cheers guys for another great video - was looking to get into my first fight until corona hit, just gives me more time to learn and train.
Stay safe and look forward to more videos.
Thanks for sharing!🙏👊
this is amazing, thank you!
You’re doing a great job Sir ! All the best from 🇵🇱
much love
What a great inspirational and motivational video thank you for putting this together👊👊👊
Fantastic and well produced documentary on Mr Fagan's journey and experiences, many thanks Lawrence. I'm subbed to Sean's channel and he provides some excellent tips and tutorials for beginners through to advanced practitioners. Interesting to see his own life and backstory - inspirational stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great stuff man! Keep it up!
Great content man! Keep it up!
This video really inspired me to keep going I always wanted to fight in K1 I had doubts about my conditioning at times but why let my fears take place on something I want. Even if I lose I still fought so ultimately that is a win in my book. Back to training then. Good video.
Excellent content. Truly inspiring m8.
glad you like it!
Very inspiring. Thank you.
I have more respect for the guy now. Glad you sheared this.
He deserves the respect
Thanks for this inspiring Video...God Bless you!!

Greetings from Germany.
A Lawrence Kenshin video about Muay Thai Guy, what a wild crossover
hahah
Didn't you know? I AM Lawrence Kenshin ✊
BEAUTIFUL
Man what a vid thanks sean really enjoying your page .
much love brother
I'm new to the channel and really appreciate the content & delivery.
I especially enjoy your breakdowns.
I have been in too many street fights to count, always in self-defense. "Won" them all except for the one where I was knocked out by a sucker punch.
Around 22, I decided to train at a gym. I trained in boxing & kickboxing. Sparred quite a bit. All around a great experience.
After being away from it for ten years, this inspiring video is has definitely given me the itch to get back into training.
Thank you \0/
thank you for sharing and the support brother
That’s a good woman. Sometimes you need reassurance, sometimes you need to be pulled back, but sometimes you need to get called out! A good woman knows you enough to know which one.
I'm a very lucky man 🙏
Thank you,Sean,for sharing your story and inspiring me and many others to do what we trully love,without leaving our fears taking charge! CHOK DEE !
chok dee!!!
You're very welcome, thanks for your support!
Nice.. Sean Fagan 👍
Great video
Love the video love from Malaysia
thank you
Very inspiring❤
Thank you
Yo this is so me which is why even though people thought I was crazy I still just followed what I wanna do
Cheers!!
I did have a kickboxing fight when I was 22. I was training for 4 years back then and wanted try it. I fought before a huge home crowd and gassed so bad in the second round the referee called it of. So emberrassing. Still bothers me because I know now, at 32, my mindset was wrong. I fought just to win, not to try my best and be content with the outcome. The mental process is way different. I still aim to do a Boxing exhibition to redeem myself, for myself.
thanks for sharing your thoughts bro
Gassing is the worst thing. Were you well prepared cardio wise and was it just the 'thrill of the fight' and body blows that cut of your breath? Like your perspective on the experience. 🥊
Roel Horemans Thanks, it was definitely the moment. My trainer was old school, cardio and endurance before everything. Dit had ik zeker ook in het Nederlands kunnen typen? Hahah
@@bosanceros0172 Klopt. Haha, Nederlands, Europese voertaal van het kick-en thaiboksen. 😎😁
Roel Horemans zeker 😂
Great inspiration
much love!!
Well, I started fighting because I got bullied. After the bullying stopped I needed to learn to control my emotions and fears. Now I have neither really something to fear (I was the kid that was not scared to walk alone through the woods in the middle of the night) nor do I lose control about myself anymore. So learning how to fight and training how to fight helped me to stop fighting.
Top man,very humble guy👍💯❤️
Thanks so much!
I am not the one to trust people with motivational stuff and life stories because they mostly use it to manipulate you and get your $. But with you Sean (even tho I subbed like 2 weeks ago) I saw truth and fire in your eyes, same as in me when I wanted to take my life quit the gym,studying,etc...
I am still in a dark place but I keep pushing forward because myself is all I got.
Thank you for this great video, I had to like,unlike and like it again !
Nice guy... introspective...great self analysis!
❤️❤️
I appreciate the kind words my man
@@seanfagan you are welcome Sean...I salute you mate for having a crack and finding the courage to live by your convictions. There are a few things you spoke about that really resonated with me...I had similar thoughts and hopes some 35 years or so ago, but it was a different time then....pre internet, pre mobile phones even and Muay Thai was not yet mainstream and it was a bridge too far me. As a young 19 year old from small town country Australia it was a bridge too far for me.....I remember being taken too Muay Thai camp outside of Chiang Mai because I wanted to see what it was like.....I had been to both Lumpini and Ratchadamnern stadiums to watch the fights. I was a brown belt Tae Kwon Do and 4 or 5 amateur boxing fights under my belt! Anyway I it to this camp with the help of a guide... remember pre internet....and of course they wanted me to train...hahaha...anyway I ended having to spar a 16 year old who already had 30 plus fights under his belt... I had at least 12 kgs on him...I still remember the first time he kicked my leg..... and then threw me to the ground with ease..it was crazy! Many years later I found myself under prepared and overmatched in my first pro fight and I suffered a broken forearm exactly like yours... except it was my right....I was fighting a southpaw....it was pinned and plated exactly like yours! Anyway mate...good on you, your are already a winner...in your own life mate.....I wish you all the best Sean....more power!
"become a better version of yourself through the power of martial arts..." That.
This guy is a definitely Thai boxing Rocky 👍👊
Great vids 🥊😈🥊😈💪🔥
cheers!!
Mr. Muay Thai Guy, excellent video, inspiring, now it's time to take these words and all your impressions, thoughts, ability to take the leaps that the life of fighting has given you and put all that strength into the days to come in this pandemic, it will be hard and difficult days that will keep you from many things, but that stoic mentality of a martial arts practitioner will be put to the test. Stay well, stay healthy !!!
stay safe stay healthy! love you!
@@LawrenceKenshin thanks man!!!
I appreciate the kind words!
Thx 👊
Not all heroes wear capes 💪🏿🤙🏾
Great video,I've been following Sean on YOU Tube for sometime now.he's an inspiration of what a man can do if he's willing to work
thank you for the long time support bro
@@LawrenceKenshin I enjoy your videos,Thank YOU
Thanks for the love Bruce!
muay thai guy: I started fighting cus I was scared of fighting
also muay thai guy: I used to fight every day in hockey
This is a process he's gone through, he's effectively saying he started with a bit of a bully mentality and grew as a person.
Think the other team was starting many fights, and that was exaggeration
I was ok with fighting/confrontation in sports, but when it came outside of the arena then I was petrified of it
@@seanfagan Interesting. The human mind is a crazy thing. Thanks for the reply and good luck in your career.
@@seanfagan Same. I felt more comfortable fighting when in sports (not that I ever did but we had close calls a lot). I think it's because there's so many people there that can step in or stop the situation. On the street you may or may not have backup and if you lose you could be killed.
Big Big respect!👍👍👍💪👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇩🇪
🙏🙏
this i dont know if my little sister can do! are u training in chang mai ?
Hit the one in the middle that is so funny and crazy
hahaha
What's the song at 14
Is that David Goggins I hear midway through?
😢
Savat Guy :)
hahaha damn it
I do solo training as you doid in youtube, as for me, i do it for self defense. Please is it applicable practically in the street, especially muaithai.
wrong channel bro!
Do tons of cardio and run from fights irl if you can. Best advice. There's no heroes on the streets.
14:00
Now im so inspired... ok bye guys imma go rob a bank muay thai style
Quote; “he had a couple of hundred fights.”
Lol...
U scared to fight me boi?? I been suicidal for years and battling depression and anxiety ain't nothing scarier then that. Come test yourself. Let me test myself 👿🐲🤬🦁😎
thank you for being a dog lover
❤️
I got into a fight once, I feels like Doom
But I'm the demon, so I got massacred.
what
@@LawrenceKenshin means it's a one-sided battle, but i'm on the losing side lol
Would you continue with a broken arm? Jesus. And - the other thing - that kick didn't have *too* much behind it, and it still broke his arm.
I dont think you're taken a shi especially to the head its technique over power trust me.
@@unknownhuslter1357 That's what I'm saying. A shin is like a piece of metal. That limited amount of rotation broke his arm. Thst boy Rua kicks with nearly 3.000 ft lbs of energy. There's a Thai fighter on the web breaking two baseball bats with his shin. Can you imagine the damage that could be caused by a full power kick that lands absolutely flush?
He sounds like a bully who got humbled
interesting inspiring speech from shawn, but that shit 14:00 is super emotional cringe
That gets me SO jacked up! I listen to that before all my fights
@@seanfagan each to his own i guess. I just wouldn't need a reminder why i fight before i go into a ring
Gotta condition them limbs son, only way and a better diet in calcium and vitamin c
Beautiful
