Inaugural ‘Eat Sleep Teep’ Semi-Contact Muay Thai Series Debuts in Ventura

Muay Thai competitors of all ages brought their energy and skill to Ventura’s first ‘Eat Sleep Teep’ event.

On October 20, 2024, the first-ever Muay Thai event in Ventura made its mark in the Tuttle Gym at Ventura High School. The event, hosted by EatSleepTeep.com, featured 40 exciting semi-contact Muay Thai matches, drawing competitors from across California and as far away as New Mexico.

The term “teep,” a defining front kick in Muay Thai. The event was created by Jonathan Puu, founder of Pu’u Muay Thai Academy in Ventura and Ryan and Carol Ughoc, owners of Pu’u Muay Thai Santa Barbara. The event welcomed over 500+ attendees throughout the day, establishing itself as a family-friendly celebration of martial arts.

Competitors face off in action-packed sparring matches.

Spencer Noren of Ventura Forward was the event’s MC, bringing high energy and local flavor to the day’s activities. Attendees also enjoyed a lively presentation of Thai and local Ventura culture, bringing a unique fusion of community spirit and martial arts tradition. Pizza Man Dan’s even brought their food truck for a curbside pizza experience during intermission, adding to the vibrant atmosphere.

“This was more than just a competition—it was a celebration of Muay Thai and community,” said Jonathan Puu. “We’re incredibly proud to bring the first Muay Thai event to Ventura, and we look forward to growing the sport not only here but throughout the Gold Coast and beyond.”

Competitors and attendees can look forward to future events with the Eat Sleep Teep series, as the promoters—Jonathan, Ryan, and Carol—plan to continue promoting the sport in the region. The event garnered major sponsorships from local and national brands, including Gold Coast Toyota, 22 Tigers Barbershop, The U.S. Army and Kingdom Supply Co.

Pedestrian safety starts with you: Stay alert to protect people walking

October is National Pedestrian Safety Month

October was National Pedestrian Safety Month. The Ventura Police Department reminds drivers to slow down and be alert for people walking on our roads. By taking extra precautions, you can help protect pedestrians and reduce the risk of crashes and injuries.

Since January 1, 2023, the Ventura Police Department has responded to 2,470 traffic collisions, including 106 involving pedestrians. These incidents resulted in 915 injuries and five fatalities. Of the pedestrian collisions, three were fatal, and 99 resulted in injury. The high number of pedestrian casualties underscores the urgent need for improved awareness and safety measures for those walking in Ventura.

“Every step we take towards greater pedestrian safety is a step towards saving lives,” said Corporal David Curtis. “We remind all residents and travelers that safety begins with you, whether you’re behind the wheel or on foot. Small actions, like slowing down, putting away distractions, and yielding at crosswalks, can make a life-saving difference.”

To promote the safety of people walking, the Ventura Police Department will conduct traffic safety operations throughout this grant cycle focused on the most dangerous driver behaviors that put the safety of pedestrians at risk. These violations include speeding, making illegal turns, failing to yield and running stop signs or signals.

The Ventura Police Department offers safe driving and walking tips, including staying off the phone when behind the wheel or walking.

Drivers

  • Do not speed and slow down at intersections. Be prepared to stop for pedestrians at marked and unmarked crosswalks.
  • Avoid blocking crosswalks while waiting to make a right-hand turn.
  • Never drive impaired.

Pedestrians

  • Be predictable. Use signalized crosswalks where drivers may anticipate foot traffic.
  • Watch for approaching vehicles and practice due care crossing the street. At 30 mph, a driver needs at least 90 feet to stop.
  • Make it easier for drivers to see you at night – wear bright colors, reflective material, or use a flashlight.

 

Share your thoughts about pedestrian safety by participating in the Go Safely Movement, a call-to-action traffic safety survey from the California Office of Traffic Safety. Take the survey at gosafelyca.org. Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Vol. 18, No. 03 – Oct 30 – Nov 12, 2024 – Forever Homes Wanted

Hi, I’m Pippa, the most adorable 6-month-old Labrador/German Shepherd mix puppy you’ll ever meet! I’m friendly, playful, and full of energy. I love exploring and making new friends. I’m still working on my leash training so I can grow up to be a big girl who walks nicely. If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and adorable puppy, look no further—I’m your new best friend! Because I’m still a puppy, children in my new home should be at least six years old. I need lots of love, patience, and attention. Everyone thinks I’m cute, but please be sure you’re ready for a puppy, as it’s like having a newborn (the two-legged kind). This is a lifetime commitment, not a temporary one that fades as I grow up.

Hi, I’m Shef, a strong and incredibly handsome 7-year-old Pit Bull mix. I was rescued from a shelter just in time, and I’m so grateful for a second chance at finding my forever home. I could use some leash training, but I’m a quick learner and eager to please. I love adventures and walks, so I need a home where I can get plenty of exercise. I may do best as the only dog in the household, though since coming to CARL, I’ve shown no issues with other dogs. At the shelter, they thought I wasn’t good with other dogs, but I only reacted defensively when another dog aggressively charged at me. It’s unknown how I’d do with children or cats.

Hi, I’m Gunner, a 5-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix who needs a new home because of something called “divorce.” I don’t know what that means, but I know I need a new place to call home. I’m good with other dogs and even cats, though I might chase a cat to play. I’m active and good with older children, but I’m not a match for younger kids. I love chasing tennis balls and going for walks. I need people to go slowly with me, giving me time to settle into my new home. Too much petting and attention all at once can overwhelm me, so a gentle approach is best.

 

Hi, I’m Aurora, a beautiful 6-year-old Boxer/Pit Bull mix. I was rescued from a shelter while giving birth. While I may not be the best with other dogs or cats, I make up for it with my love for people—who knows, I may even give you a kiss! I’ve won over the hearts of CARL staff and volunteers, and I’m sure to win yours too. I’m a great walker and stay calm on the leash. I know I’ll love every adventure we share, and I have so much love to give. I hope to find my forever home very soon.

 

All of these amazing pets are being cared for by the Canine Adoption and Rescue League (CARL).
Could you provide a forever home for one of these wonderful animals?
