O M G ! Namsaknoi is coming!


Recommended Posts

Oooooooh damn! I just found out that a gym here in Germany got Namsaknoi to come over and be a trainer for them for at least a year! It's only a ~1,5hr drive, too! Too far for regular evening training but absolutely in range to pay a visit!

Actually I'm gonna try and get my own trainer to try and get him for a seminar at our gym! Really exciting! :)
I need to get more fit again so I can learn as much as possible!!

 

Even before Sylvie's library-session with him he was among the absolute top people I would like to learn from :)

It really is! I was kinda kicking around the idea that MAYBE it would work out to find him for a lesson or two when me and my wife finally go to Thailand for vacation. And now suddenly: BAM! Namsaknoi in Germay! Basically in my neighborhood! How about that?

This is fantastic! Which gym is he going to? Where in Germany is your gym? 

I would fly to Germany for this. 😃

Haha cool!

 

"My" gym (where I hardly did any training for the last few months, shame on me!) is Diamond Gym Würzburg.

 

The one where he'll teach for at least a year is Fight Club Ludwigsburg. I already inquired about if it will be possible to get private lessons. They said yes and it would cost 60€ for an hour or 100€ for 2 hours which includes the teacher and the gym reserved for only you.

 

 

I'm still thinking about how much training I should at least get in before doing this... I mean: I absolutely need to get back into training first! Wouldn't want to waste the time by being too exhausted early on and also I want to really learn from him without him having to waste too much time correcting the absolute basics that anyone could teach me....

Thanks, awesome! I will definitely do my best to venture down there from Finland! 😄

Pretty cool, thank you for posting this. I'm 6 hours away by train, going to mail the gym and maybe go down there for a week orso. Get a few privates. Seemed like a very friendly man in sylvie's videos. 

Cool! Please tell us about your experience then! :)

 

Everything I've seen from him so far (also the videos that were posted on his own youtube channel when he still had his own gym) was super friendly and helpful.

Paul Banasiak wrote that being a sponsored fighter for him could be very demanding but I guess that's normal for any place who seriously trains professional fighters.

 

What I love about Namsaknoi is that I can watch any 2min video of him and feel like I learned something useful 🙂

    • "He who does not know how to read only sees the differences. For him who knows how to read, it all comes to the same thing, since the sentence is identical. Whoever has finished his apprenticeship recognizes things and events, everywhere and always, as vibrations of the same divine and infinitel sweet word. This does not mean that he will not suffer Pain is the color of certain events. When a man who can and a man who cannot read look at a sentence written in red ink, they both see the same red color, but this color is not so important for the one as for the other."   A beautiful analogy by Simone Weil (Waiting for God), which especially in the last sentence communicates how hard it is to discuss Muay Thai with those who don't know how to "read" its sentences. Yes, I see the effort. Yes, I see the power. Yes, I even see the "technique"...but this is like talking about the color of sentences written out at times.
    • from Reddit discussing shin pain and toughening of the shins: There are several factors, and people create theories on this based on pictures of Muay Thai, but honestly from my wife's direct experience they go some what numb and hard from lots of kicking bags and pads, and fighting (in Thailand some bags could get quite hard, almost cement like in places). Within a year in Thailand Sylvie was fighting every 10 or 12 days and it really was not a problem, seldom feeling much pain, especially if you treat them properly after damage, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztzTmHfae-k and then more advanced, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcWtd00U7oQ And they keep getting harder. After a few years or so Sylvie felt like she would win any shin clash in any fight, they just became incredible hard. In this video she is talking about 2 years in about how and why she thought her shins had gotten so hard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFXCmZVXeGE she shows in the vid how her shins became kind of permanently serrated, with divots and dings. As she discusses only 2 years in (now she's 13 years of fighting in) very experienced Thais have incredibly hard shins, like iron. Yes, there are ideas about fighting hard or not, but that really isn't the determining factor from our experience with Sylvie coming up on 300 fights and being around a lot of old fighters. They just can get incredibly tough. The cycles of damage and repair just really change the shin (people in the internet like to talk about microfractures and whatnot). Over time Sylvie eventually didn't really need the heat treatment anymore after fights, now she seldom uses it. She's even has several times in the last couple of years split her skin open on checks without even feeling much contact. Just looked down and there was blood.  
    • The race for cheaper "grassroots" labor to fill Entertainment Muay Thai cards is on. Rajadamnern vs Lumpinee, trad Muay Thai vs Entertainment Muay Thai. This is the next economic challenge for the sport. Who can tap the rural fighter labor source better, as the trad festival fight culture that has feed the sport for over a century is quickly eroding.

    • Hi all, Does anyone know of any suppliers for blanks (Plain items to design and print a logo on) that are a good quality? Or put me in the right direction? thanks all  
    • The first fight between Poot Lorlek and Posai Sittiboonlert was recently uploaded to youtube. Posai is one of the earliest great Muay Khao fighters and influential to Dieselnoi, but there's very little footage of him. Poot is one of the GOATs and one of Posai's best wins, it's really cool to see how Posai's style looked against another elite fighter.
    • Yeah, this is certainly possible. Thanks! I just like the idea of a training camp pre-fight because of focus and getting more "locked in".. Do you know of any high level gyms in europe you would recommend? 
    • You could just pick a high-level gym in a European city, just live and train there for however long you want (a month?). Lots of gyms have morning and evening classes.
    • Hi, i have a general question concerning Muay-Thai training camps, are there any serious ones in Europe at all? I know there are some for kickboxing in the Netherlands, but that's not interesting to me or what i aim for. I have found some regarding Muay-Thai in google searches, but what iv'e found seem to be only "retreats" with Muay-Thai on a level compareable to fitness-boxing, yoga or mindfullness.. So what i look for, but can't seem to find anywhere, are camps similar to those in Thailand. Grueling, high-intensity workouts with trainers who have actually fought and don't just do this as a hobby/fitness regime. A place where you can actually grow, improve technique and build strength and gas-tank with high intensity, not a vacation... No hate whatsoever to those who do fitness-boxing and attend retreats like these, i just find it VERY ODD that there ain't any training camps like those in Thailand out there, or perhaps i haven't looked good enough?..  Appericiate all responses, thank you!
