Hi, I recently spent 2 weeks training at Sinbi and I would like to share my experience. Now keep in mind, I barely did any Muay Thai prior to training at Sinbi, so I have no reference to compare my training too, except for my boxing background. Furthermore, I will try to keep my review short and to the point.
Overall, I enjoyed training at Sinbi, however it felt like I was in fat camp. I’m not sure if this was the norm because I never did so much conditioning, especially in boxing. When I was boxing, I’ll would do my roadwork and calisthenics on my own time, with the exception of jump roping. In the boxing gym, I would focus on the heavy bag, mitt work and sparring. However, with all the conditioning that we did at Sinbi, I was surprised that we never did any jump rope or body weight squats. I always assumed that was part of the training.
The trainers at Sinbi were awesome. They were patient enough to help me with my techniques and they were very friendly. But oddly enough, each trainer had their own way of executing a technique.
Now for the part that I didn’t like, but had nothing to do with Sinbi were the small group of wannabe tough guys. They were annoying and obnoxious. I won’t go into details, but they were toxic. However, when it came to sparring, they were decent. But they did carry themselves as if they were top notch.
As mentioned before, I did enjoy myself training there but I wouldn’t really want to go back. Hopefully next time I would find a gym that doesn’t have annoying foreigners. Hopefully my review would give some help if you ever decide to train at Sinbi.
