Personally. Although not a bad gym, I would not go back. There are enough better gyms out there in my opinion. My main issue with it was a certain favoritism toward some guys regardless of skills and intention to fight. I would often end up not sparring because of it. And I know what I am worth and there was no reason other that they did not care for everyone. 

That said a lot of people swear by this gym and go back over and over. And, it is the gym where there was the best sense of community I've been to. Most people except de Swedes would hangout together after training. And the trainers took us on a trip to a river on a sunday and stuff like that. That was fun. 

But in the end,  I am there to train and I expect to be treated as any other farangs who trains there. 

If regardless of skills or intention to fight, what was your personal guess for this difference of treatment? Sorry to bother, it's the first time i hear more nuanced opinions so i value them.

Thanks a lot

Hi nanibjj, I was staying solo about 7km (about 10min driving) away from gym i booked online via agoda.com, which located just outside of the town area. Very convenient location for food, water, washing machine etc. I also rented a scooter elsewhere to travel around.

In their instagram (particularly the owner's instagram) he had listed 3 accommodation options nearer to the gym with prices. It will be more activities because staying with group. Please have a look~

During my stint the gym was pretty crowded, but all kru will keep an eye on you making sure you had your session. The gym runs on semi-automated + self-initiative mode. You are expected to show up on time, warm up on your own & of your choice. Krus will show up afterwards then "chaos" begins! You may pick up working partner you like to work with on sparring and clinching, else the kru will match up someone for you

I enjoyed every minute being present at there. Please be patient communicating with the owner, as he run the most of the show by himself. 

Please let me know should you need more detailed information.

Yes it is true. Strangely my encounter with random partners in sparing and clinching all of them are friendly (got bashed occasionally but within my tolerable level, probably they came down to match my level ). However i aware that 2 of the kru fought in Oct and Nov 2019 respectively. There were sessions the kru will spar with us though. 

Did we meet?

Thanks for the reply ! I will be there in a week so i have a lot of questions. It seems you didn't run? it wasn't mandatory? (yes, I don't like to run and I'm a little  bit ashamed of it, but it's also because i only stay 10 days and i would prefer keep my energy for the technical aspect of training if i train twice a day). Also do you know if it's possible to do privates ?

Thank you again!
