Muay Thai Coach, Kamanu Ruiz, Talks About Martial Arts Saved His Life From Substance Abuse

On today’s episode, we have a Muay Thai and MMA coach who has been traveling across the world training with some of the best fighters on Earth. He has experienced many hardships in his life that lead him down a dark path, but today, his life has been redeemed. Please give a warm welcome to Kamanu Ruiz!

We talk about Kamanu’s journey into martial arts, the “machete story” (it’s a good one haha), his experience with substance abuse and depression, being homeless, fighting and training in Thailand, his goal to be a Physician’s Associate, his non-profit called Humanitis International, and much more!

Huge mahalo to Kamanu for being an awesome guest on my podcast! Good luck on being a Physician’s Associate and I look forward to future matches you have in the future!
