Father and Son Tandem Muay Thai Training

March 10, 2013 By Brett Kraiger

Even more exciting than doing something you are passionate about, is sharing the whole experience with someone you deeply care for. This is what father and son Peter and Thomas McCormick have to day about sharing years of training in Muay Thai.

Ironically, it was Thomas who made his dad realize his passion for martial arts. Peter, seeing his son train for Muay Thai at age 5, tried his hand at training a month after his son begun. He has never stopped since. After 20 years, Peter is presently training his 25 year old son for competition.

Having had a successful run as a Muay Thai fighter, Peter retired from fighting professionally ten years ago. However, he said he can’t let go of his passion as he still continues to train with his son. Thomas said his father is very supportive and helping him pursue his dreams.
