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 🙂

    • This is my wild guess about the possible future of ONE with the rumored loss of both big investors and Amazon Prime: My take...I suspect it will morph into a significantly contracted phase that is something the Thai gov will support as part of its Soft Power commitments which will somewhat balance out the loss of big investors. There may even be rule changes to bend a bit closer to trad elements (maybe glove changes? maybe a touch more clinch?); guessing there will be a significant downgrade of top end pay and bonus rates, and probably significant cuts into the all-important marketing budget too. It will fall more in line with Entertainment offerings like Thai Fight and RWS. The challenge is the struggle over the shrinking Thai talent pool, which is also no longer producing transcendent talents like Superlek and Nong-O, and how it will compete against other Entertainment promotions without big top end pay and bonuses (I believe RWS revenues were reported as much as 6x ONE's in Thailand). It may have difficulty continuing to snipe the high level names produced by other promotions. It still has a well-built-out, massive digital media footprint in a very small info ecosystem and that proven strategy, and has secured a place in the Thai combat sport imagination, two very big assets.
    • It's pretty amazing that ONE has under contract the woman who at least as an argument for being the greatest female Muay Thai fighter of all time -- but hasn't fought a "real" full rules Muay Thai fight for maybe 7 years now -- and they don't even have her fighting their version of "Muay Thai", or have her face their own very qualified female Muay Thai champion...who is having trouble finding opponents. Phetjee Jaa was a VERY good, multi-skilled, every distance Muay Thai fighter before she became an amateur boxer, and then an Entertainment Thai Fight fighter...now in the service of Kickboxing. Properly, Phetjee Jaa should be representing female Muay Thai to the world. It was her true art, that which she was raised in...until she ran out of opponents. Female Muay Thai has historically missed out through her absence. She's not really a Kickboxer, though she can handle the sport and ruleset. She's a Muay Thai fighter. 
    • Was thinking about a commenter telling another redittor that they were "elitist" for not liking ONE FC, and preferring trad Muay Thai, the absolute irony of them thinking that a new globalized version of the traditional form of the sport (a sport which has been practiced and fought by the working poor throughout Thailand for at least a century, in some ways MADE by the rural nakmuay), a new commodity version which has been invented by hi-so wealthy, "elite" Thais, wealthy sons who went to school in very expensive schools in the United States, a new sport modeled in the Thai high-brow love of MMA (MMA is a Thai hi-so taste in Thailand, because originally you needed a satellite dish to watch it, so only rich young people watched it back in the day), so completely born of Thai elite taste making, and then funded massively, to the tune of more than a Half a BILLION dollars, by wealthy Arab investment and other very elite Venture Capital investment groups, some of the most powerful investment sources in the world...all of that, absolutely about as elitist as you can get, reinventing the traditional sport, inverting pretty much all of its values, in the image of wealth itself, so that affluent tourists and consumers will buy it...but, if you don't like it...you are elitist. The whole thing is about as posh as you can get.

    • 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!
