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:

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.

      Muay Thai career or college

      By Wewarm · Posted

      I am soon to be 17 and I’ve been training Muay Thai for nearly 3 years now. I also happen to be doing quite well in school and plan to go to uni. However, that all changed when I went to Thailand last summer to train for a few weeks and fight. One of the trainers, with whom I have developed a close connection, told me not to go back home and stay in Thailand in order build a career. “You stay, become superstar” to quote him, as he pointed at the portraits of their best fighters hung on the gym’s wall. After realizing he wasn’t joking, I told him I couldn’t stay and had to finish my last year of high school (which is what I am currently doing) but promised him I’d come back the following year once I was done with school. Ever since, both these words and my love for Muay Thai resonate in me, and I can’t get the idea of becoming a professional fighter out of my head. On one hand, I’m afraid I’m being lied to, since me committing to being a fighter obviously means he gets more pay to be my coach. But on the other hand, it is quite a reputable and trustworthy gym, and this trainer in particular is an incredible coach and pad holders since he is currently training multiple rws fighters including one who currently holds an rws belt. And for a little more context, I don’t think this invitation to become a pro came out of nowhere, because during those few weeks I trained extremely hard and stayed consistent, which I guess is what impressed him and motivated him to say those words. Additionally, I was already thinking about the possibility of going pro before the trip because of my love for Muay Thai and because a female boxing champion who has close ties to my local gym told me I had potential and a fighter’s mindset. Therefore, I have to pick between two great opportunities, one being college and a stable future, and the other being a Muay Thai career supported by a great gym and coach. So far, I plan to do a gap year to give myself more time to make a decision and to begin my training in order to give myself an idea of how hard life as a pro is. This is a big decision which I definitely need help with, so some advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Training Twice a Day

      By SJC74 · Posted

      When I've come out to Thailand to train (and holiday!), I've always trained just once a week for the first one. It takes a while for the body to adjust, especially with the heat and/ or humidity, and gives me a chance to recover and explore. After that, it depends on how I feel/ what my goals are. Sometimes I've switched to twice a day, other times I haven't. If you're coming out to fight, you might want to. If it's just to train, improve and enjoy your stay, sometimes twice a day is a slog. Your decision... Chok dee.
