Online Private Training from Thailand - Recommendations?


Marija

Recommended Posts

Hey ho, so I had this thought and was thinking of sending a probably yet another private message to Sylvie asking 'hey can you recommend...etc.etc." but I learned through the home work out videos - use the forum! Anyways, I wonder if Sylvie, Kevin or anyone else would know of something like a PT online with some of the krus in Thailand? I imagine it would have to be someone speaking English as otherwise it would be the most random zoom or skype work out ( i did giggle to myself trying to imagine how that would work haha). Anyways any ideas are very welcome, I know it is not ideal, but I am doing all the drills and shadow and tbh i am not even sure if i am doing things correctly and getting quite bored and unmotivated by this solo routine. Thank you all! Marija

Thanks for watching the live streams and for using the forum, for exactly what it's for!

There are a few places offering online training. Por Promin in Hua Hin has been offering this and I imagine they'd have a pretty good method going by now; they have English, are used to training all levels, and already have the sessions going. Here's their FB: https://web.facebook.com/porpromin/

Santai has said that their offering PT, as well as free technique live videos on their FB periodically. Here's their FB, and you can ask about privates. I recommend Kru Ten. https://web.facebook.com/muay.thai.gym/

Erm so now it will probs have to wait at least a week or so - if not muay thai i manage to injury myself in other ways. Came off my bike and injured my shoulder so probs will have to wait till it gets better. The idea of one arm internet PT from Thailand sounds a bit too crazy even for my experimental standards haha but I’ll update when I do it!

Kru Bird provides online training from Phuket. He seems like he knows his business, and has over 100 fights himself. Maybe check him out and see if it's something you want to try? 

 

EDIT: A friend and I just had a session with him this weekend. It worked out very well, and was a good time. The technology worked, too, which I was surprised about.. We trained in my friend's small living room and it was enough. We did mostly different combos and such, and will do this again, for sure!

So my update too: I did online training with Santai gym with Kru Ten a few weeks back. Think it was quite good. Obviously far from what a real-life PT would be, but it worked to fix a few things that I was doing wrong for quite a while (like a knee) and the movement felt so much better and made so much more sense. I am not sure how would it work if someone had more experience, i guess you could work on combos or something.

Tho not gonna lie at moments the combination of poor internet connection, different languages and a dodgy shoulder were pretty funny, like me yelling from other end of the room PUSH UPS? NO PUSH UPS 😅

I definitely think if you can get someone else to share a PT, i mean be two people in a room, it would be really really good.

    • I think people don't even understand what it was that ONE did. It had almost nothing to do with small gloves, or rulesets or aggression or any of that. It bought up the most developed Thai talent (which was quite cheap, and many past prime) and then poured massive amounts of marketing dollars into taking over comms, and absolutely controlling messaging in very small information ecosystems, squeezing out almost all other content...and used this to create a constant "commercial" of how massive a success it was. They could have done comm control with a totally different combat sport product and have had the very same, if not even better success. It was about manufactured digital footprint.  So when Entertainment Muay Thai tries to model itself on ONE promotional rulesets and styles its actually copying the wrong thing. There is some benefit to mirroring the style and ethos that ONE already seeded the ecosystems with, because all that groundwork has been done, and it changed consumption...but it actually wasn't all the aggression, or the scoring kind or even the knockouts. It was much much more about the sizzle and not much to do about the steak. Its actually the systematic control over messaging, from SEO link farming and story planting, to buying up social media sharing circles and influencers, all the narrative shaping. Traditional Muay Thai as a product is probably even MORE amenable as a product than the made up sport that ONE created. It has massive valuation in terms of depth of complexity (deeper retention investment), historical material (narratives to be driven), and overall skill level. Trad Muay Thai as it bent toward Entertainment versions has copied the wrong thing.  
    • from the same article above, this is one of the primary confusions about traditional Muay Thai...it is not primarily "labor". As Stiegler conditions the difference it is "work" as it involves the "techniques of the self and others" and leads to the "trans-formatio of oneself" and others. In this sense it is vital as a form of work in the field of potential violence.  
    • Why the preservation of traditional Muay Thai, its kaimuay origins and socio-cultural knowledge especially as it relates to violence and the affects matter...diversity of knowledge matters: Only by understanding work in this way can we identify the exosomatic innovations (whether technical or technological) actually required by and compatible with a desirable future for a locality …. This is the work of noesis, that is, of thinking, in all its forms, and as practical as well as theoretical, familial, artisanal, sporting and artistic knowledge, and thus theoretical, juridical and spiritual knowledge in the broadest sense. This belongs to what we therefore call noodiversity and noodiversification.  - Stiegler  Technophany_Entropies_V3N1_AA.pdf

    • 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!
