Mick on Paul Timmins: "He's an amazing fighter with awesome speed and power. Paul is one of our Instructors at Wicker Camp, he's been training with us for years but doesn't get as much time to fight (unfortunately)."
(Paul's fight from the 2006 Octagon Show)
Ring Name : Golden Shin
Name : Paul Timmins
Date of Birth : 11/04/1978
Weight : 58-59 Kg
Nationality : British
Any Regrets : Not starting Thai-Boxing sooner.
Toughest Fight : Is always the battle with yourself. I found my 1st fight very hard, I was so tired at the end of it. Thankfully I won it on points.
Training Likes : Pushing through the tiredness – that’s a buzz for me. Seeing yourself improve. Surviving sparring with Imran, Christian, Daniel and Lee !
Training Dislikes : When I’m not feeling up to it and can’t push through the tiredness. Oh and getting injured so I can’t train.
Ambitions : To be a Champion, train in Thailand (soon).
What inspired you to start training in Muay Thai : I’ve tried other Martial Arts, and wanted something tougher. I saw tapes of the pro fighters in Thailand – yeah, they inspired me.
Have you trained in Thailand : No not yet
What is your current training schedule ? : I train with Mick 4 days a week,and come to the public classes when I can.
Who has been your biggest influence and why ? : Mick Mullaney of course.
What advice can you give to new Muay Thai students : You don’t have to be a tough guy to do Thai-Boxing. You can take it to any level you want, you don’t have to fight. Anybody thinking of trying it – give it a go, choose a good Teacher and you won’t be disappointed.
By the way, credit is due to the Wicker Camp cameraman Craig Beachell who films the Wicker Camp shows and prepares the DVDs. Without him much of the footage on this blog wouldn't exist! The quality is reduced for the blog/youtube to make online streaming easy. The original high quality DVDs are available from the club.
