Minu, who was one of the first members on the forum, has been training with me at Master Toddy's! At first, she was doing private lessons, but after a few of those, she started joining the group classes and last week, we were able to do some sparring together. It's really awesome that we were able to meet up in this way. Hopefully, more of us will be able to get together as time goes on  :smile:

Nice to see :)

 

This forum is delivering some solid advertisment for Toddys. I think I may end up there in July because of this forum, and from reading your blog Emma. Either there, or Sinbi, but being in Bangkok is a big plus in my book. I don't want to get distracted by the classic tourist stuff, and also my job requires me to be able to return to Sweden within a day in case of an emergency, so being close to a big airport is very good. So maybe we will run into each other in a month or so!

Awesome! Let me know if you do decide to come here. I will be on holiday in the UK for the first half of July, but I'll be around all the time from then.

The jealousy is real. But I'll be up there on Sunday, so I really hope I get to see both of you!

You will. Looking forward to it!  :smile:

Me and Emma rockin' it at Master Toddy's on Sunday morning. Clinching and sparring. This is the fourth time we've had the chance to train together. Roundtable Forum members unite. Had a fantastic time. Hope to train with more members too!

Some morning if you are here and I actually wake up at a decent time (I seem to not be a morning person in any way shape or form lol) I will join in with the face punching! Looks like you two had fun!

I posted elsewhere here. Darina and I met up in Berlin last weekend.

I'll drive up there next week again, we'll post some pics then!

Milena (Micc) and I trained together today! She's in Bangkok right now, so came along and did some sparring with me, which was great. After that, we met up with Kelly Creegan for dinner and had a great time. It was so awesome to be able to meet up after talking online for so long!

Thanks for posting the picture! I'm slowly getting back on track with the forum, so I just saw this! :D

It was GREAT meeting you and Kelly, as well as training with you. It means so much to me to be welcomed so friendly and openly by you! :) Was a great night out with you guys and funny fact: as I was going back I only then realized that I have no idea when's the last BTS train back to my hostel as I had to change trains in Siam, but fortunately they were still going! :D Stressed out for a moment though!

Here's a couple of shots from when Kate came to train with me yesterday along with Sean Fagan. It was so great to meet them! Kate also trained with Sylvie earlier in the week, so it was cool that we were both able to catch her before she goes home on Monday.

    • I am a fighter from America who lives in Isaan. I belong to TK Yutthana Gym and train under Kru Tom. I wanted to post and share about the boxing camp because non-Thai fighters don't really know about it yet, and it's been a really great place for me and my boxing development.    A little bit about the boxing camp...    TK Yutthana is a traditional kai muay located in Isaan (Korat specifically). It is run by Tom Yutthana (ยุทธนา เกียรติประภัสร์ "ขุนเข่าตุ้ยนุ้ย"). Kru Tom is a highly respected teacher in Isaan known for developing local kids into high level athletes competing on major platforms like Channel 7 and RWS.   Tom was a Golden Age top ranked Channel 7 boxer himself, and hits a rare balance of being both a former elite fighter and also a great manager. He has a sharp technical eye and an ability to easily translate his own stadium experience into building high-level talent across a wide variety of fight styles.    I’ve found Tom’s IQ and versatility especially valuable as a very tall boxer with long awkward limbs (think Dieselnoi) whose body type does not fit very well into most fight styles. The training here is extremely good, and the teaching style is very Thai. Which, for me, is perfect.   The environment is traditional. The young Thai fighters live on-site, and the camp is very much a working gym with broken bags and stray dogs. There is zero Western-style pedagogy, group classes, or "show-and-tell" style technical breakdowns. Learning is entirely adaptive—done through raw repetition, observation, and direct correction while on pads.   The camp is really a sort of fighter ecosystem with boxers of every age and development stage training, fighting on the provincial circuit, learning and growing. If you are receptive to how this camp operates, the environment itself, which is designed to build boxers, forces you to develop as a fighter.    It's possible to be integrated directly into the traditional system and get the same training as the Thai youth fighters, which I think is pretty special. I learn the same skills on pads as what is taught to the kids, but I also learn just by watching and being with the kids, who are extremely skilled.    Kru Tom himself is approachable and funny, but serious about talent output. For those looking to get ring experience, the camp is tightly connected to the traditional 5-round Isaan festival circuit. Both youth and adult fighters are also regularly fighting in Bangkok.    Since I am here full-time, I can act as a bridge for any Westerners coming in which can be helpful when navigating a very traditional Thai environment. This is a very specific type of gym, hitting a rare window for someone who wants an intimate, old-school development environment before commercialization sets in.    Contact info Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tkyutthana/ Website: https://tkyutthana.com/ My whatsapp +1(415) 408-8798  (Text me if you have questions about the camp, or if you just want to talk about Thailand)
    • I confess that in this, the above, there is a sense in these inner beats a secret language. A language which develops intuitionally out of the art of individual fighters and the matrixes of the sport, but also an expressive geometry that - coded and displayed - becomes a communication. An occult communication of human potential, locked in the finitude of its Space...symbolized by the Ring and its ropes. Muay Thai is a dance of freedoms, and in that way at least (ideologically) transcendent.   
    • I should add that these are two nice summations in comment on the original posting of the micro-gallop video on YouTube, in answer to someone who asked for elaboration:

    • That sounds promising if you've already moved, how are things going for you now? 
    • I'm sorry I don't really know. Sylvie is in touch with a collector and this person is where she buys hers, but there are not multiple copies available. Maybe someone else would know of a larger source.
    • Where can I find some physical old Muay Thai magazines? I am located in Bangkok. Thanks
    • I can only comment on Perth. There's a very active Muay Thai scene here - regular shows. Plenty of gyms across the city with Thai trainers. All gyms offer trial classes so you can try a few out before committing . Direct flights to Bangkok and Phuket as well. Would you be coming over on a working holiday visa? Loads of work around Western Australia at the moment.
