TABLE OF CONTENTS
Foreword
Chris Olech comes from a middle-class Polish family who settled in Toronto, Canada looking for a better life.
He enjoyed a normal childhood, delivering newspapers, helping out at his parents’ deli and playing soccer in high school, much like my own life.
He would meet the love of his life, Beata, when she was hired to work at the deli in the wake of his parents’ divorce.
Chris’ introduction to martial arts would come as a result of one of his friends’ tales from his many trips to Thailand. Chris was especially captivated with his buddy’s stories about Thailand’s national sport, Muay Thai, the “King of All Martial Arts.” It’s also known as “The Science of 8 Limbs” due to the fact you can use your hands, elbows, knees & feet as weapons. It is one of the most brutal forms of martial arts.
