THIRD EYE MUAY THAI
Third Eye Muay Thai was established in 2016 when Jacob returned to Newcastle after spending the majority of 2015 in South America and Cambodia. During his travels he spent a lot of time in solitude working with Shamans in the jungles of North Peru and training for fights in back street boxing gyms located on the out skirts of Siem Reap, Cambodia and Pattaya, Thailand.
Part of Jacob's journey in 2015 was to up the ante on his lifelong goal of positively impacting as many people as he could. After dedicating over 12 years of his life to Martial Arts he knew opening a training space was the most applicable way to pass on all the physical and mental attributes he had gained from training, competing, traveling and not conforming to societies standard model of material living.
“Living with nothing, to gain everything was the port of call.”
So on return to Newcastle in 2016 all the stars aligned and Jacob got an opportunity to convert an old run down warehouse into a premier Martial Arts and training centre, which he is still working on to this day. Jacob invites everyone, no matter what background size, shape, skill level, age or gender to come in and continue their fight for change.
Life and Martial Arts are the same dance, a journey of self-mastery and growth. For Jacob, sharing this journey is the best gift he could ever receive....
