Way of the Warrior - on MNET Action

 

 

Way of the Warrior is a television first! Hosted by Colin Moss, the show promises to be a must for all reality fans.

Way of the Warrior will gather a group of 25 to 35-year-old men and give them the opportunity to train at Dragon Power, South Africa's premier Muaythai Gym - based in Cape Town.

They will be trained by 2 x World Muaythai Champion and their mentor-to-be - Quentin "Dragon" Chong and through the transformative power of Martial Arts, become lean, formidable fighting machines.

But there is a catch, the only way the men can stay in the gym and take home the amazing prizes is to fight for it. Each contestant will have to use their new-found martial arts skills to fight their competitors in the ring, for the right to remain in the gym. Using the Muaythai they have been taught each contestant has to survive weeks of elimination as they fight for the honour of being named the ultimate warrior.

If you are a guy who is unhappy with his weight and you want to transform your life...you can follow the "Way of the Warrior".

Many of the contestants have been carrying on their new lifestyles and furthering their training and knowledge of Muaythai.

Dragon Power in Franschoek:

Sifu Kru Quentin "Dragon' Chong

"We are all warriors in life, it shows that if everyone can take one hour of their time during the day of their lives and focus on themselves they can achieve these same results. This was proved on Way of the Warrior that if you take that time for yourself anyone can get those results.
I would like to thank the contestants, and all that were involved in the making of the show.
Thank you!
Sifu Kru Quentin "Dragon" Chong
Time Waits for No one."

 
Sibak Kru Winston "Tiger" Chong

"The people never expected to see improvement and were surprised, especially the bigger guys. I'm very impressed as the people who put more effort in achieved better results that they wanted. The least fit person actually impressed me for than those that were kind of fit in the beginning as they never gave up. They also proved to me that some people achieved the impossible and that nothing is impossible with the right people to guide you. Also because nothing could be achieved without the team we had, from the trainers to the fitness experts and production crew and the cast members, Thank you to all of them."
 

Kru Lester "Mamba" Lombard

There is nothing better and satisfying to see someone achieve what they thought was impossible or lost that believe in themselves. Having the 'Way of the Warrior' was and is a perfect opportunity and platform for those who want to better themselves for themselves and showing the public it is possible for dreams to come true, times are changing which means we need to learn to accept and adapt, our job was to teach and give the contestants/students the right tools, knowledge, guidance and the confidence to believe in themselves in-order for them to achieve their goals.  This can be applied to everyday life.  We all have it in us to make a difference; it's a matter of surrounding yourselves with the right people. This would not be possible to show what 'Way of the Warrior' is all about if it was not for the crew, contestants, host, trainers, mentor and you the viewer.  A big thank you to everyone involved
