Thailand Training Camp for Southpaw?


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I finally decided to come train in thailand this summer (august).

Southpaw

I'm an european advanced beginner / intermediate and I want to practice my technique and sparring as a southpaw. 

One thing that's annoying in my current gym (in switzerland) is that the instructor always makes exercises for regular stances (and even ask me to switch mine to perform the exercise). For I figured I'd learn faster (and more sparring tricks) with a southpaw instructor. Maybe?

How to

Also, any step by step advice to choose a camp and handle the logistic (like hosting, etc.) would be much appreciated because I'm not used to travel and I feel a bit lost.

I think it would be good to train with thais (because that's why I come!) but I'm looking for comfortable enough hosting (single quiet room, A/C, wifi, private bathroom) so that I can really focus on the training without having to handle living conditions too different than what I'm used to.

I've read good review on french websites about SitSongpeenong which seems rather easy to setup because that have hosting and everything (http://sitsongpeenong.com/muay-thai/) but it is really expensive. 

Best,

Julien

    • 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
    • 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.
