I'd focus on a gym that has stadium champions maybe rather than ones that have fighters looking to go into ONE FC as it's not really a part of the new muay thai one fc rule set. just gets broke up within 3 secs

Looking for a hard reset: Nature, Discipline, and Authenticity
dazak replied to Zaruto's topic in Gym Advice and Experiences
Also i really looked into a load of rural gyms i may even have a post about it on here.. There are quite a few cons you think like you'll be eating at the same place every day. your place of sleep might not have simple things like mircowaves etc. you'll miss just going to a 7/11 within 5 mins motorbike drive , simple things like that man. Maybe just go 30 mins from town you'll get that im in the middle of nowhere feeling trust me. -

Hi mate, I was going to head to look nungubon a while back as it looked really isolated and i could just purely disconnect however I decided to dot around which i prefered more. That look gym did look rly good tho. A few hidden gems i can reccomend that are more in a town / some form of life are i think yotharak is the one you'd be looking for. good spot with local food. Kamala Muay Thai 8/10 trainer is good and fun to work with on pads 1 hour sessions plenty of bags if classes are kept small. 20 sit ups between rounds, tiring 600 baht more of a passing through gym it seems with no local regulars that I saw but trainer makes you feel very welcome if you turn up a few times Pasakthong Muay Thai Bang Tao 8/10 Pad work is good and trainer simulated a real fight with pad work throwing kicks and punches back 1 hour 1-1 session only no group sessions Small gym on main road into bang tao only around 6 ish bags old school vibes fighter gym broken english 600 baht once again didn’t really see any consistent thai’s training at this gym besides one who was also a trainer/fighter. Yotharak Muay Thai 9/10 small gym with only 6 bags but a heavy focus on sparring with a old school vibe 700 baht per session (group) if you do not run with group you will do extra 3-4 rounds on the pads but running is for fighters good crowd of thai fighters who know what level and power to go with your experience and will teach you new things during the spar offers a place to stay including meals training etc for around £450 a month i was told. best gym i’ve been to so far as the trainers and other members of the gym make you feel very welcome and like a family. trainers english isn’t great but a few thai fighters who pass the messages along with better english - some high level fighters in gym (one championship) & stadium belt holders for reference i was doing about 1k gbp a month on airbnb brekky lunch dinner snacks and weed a month. and x1 session a day 1-1's 90% of the time. -
It's interesting, I think (and to keep it short) the recent surge in MMA/Muay Thai fans has both got the sport thriving but also at the same time dare I say ruined the magic Muay Thai had. It's come leaps and bounds from the poor mans sport it was known as to the rare few outside thailand who knew about the sport.

Hey all, If I hit a heavy bag too hard low down alot or kick pads i'll get a pain in my shins, It dosn't swell up and I assume its just because they arent conditioned enough - however I've been doing muay thai for a good few months and i've taken a month break to heal but the same issue arrises after a couple sessions back to back. is there any proven conditioning techniques besides kicking the bags and pads, is the stick roll worth a try? Thanks

Regular classes vs Sparring
dazak replied to Dundee's topic in Muay Thai Technique, Training and Fighting Questions
Yea, Bags don't flinch and react to you and i find myself doing better when I spar, i learn what combo's dont work and what do -
That was such a good read, Thats exactly what I'm looking for.

I know i'm probably going to get told that I need to go to a more popular area/gym to get a fight & best trainers however I thought i'd see if anyone has done this before, As the title says I have a interest in training at a gym with less foreigners and that is a bit more rugged, specifically anything around to the north as I would like to explore that area. I've seen online theres alot of gyms in the north these gyms seem to only have younger fighters up to the age is 16ish. Has anyone trained at any of these gyms with active fighters over the age of 20 to match a foreigners size etc? I'm ideally looking for that 'spit and saw dust' oldschool vibe & I know times change and things improve so its harder to find these gyms with the 'golden era' vibe. I've linked a video to the vibe I am going for below. I'd ideally like to have at least one fight in my time that I am out there as well if that info helps at all. (3 months).
