Oh yeah, to wrap up the story of the American dickhead. He refused to do any Muay Thai training after the first week when he realised how shit he was. Wanna know what he did instead? Picked up a pair of pads and asked if he could hold for a Thai dude for a round. Kid was like, err... Yeah ok whatever. American filmed it on his phone too. Then puts the the video and photos on his gym's website saying he worked as a trainer in a Thailand gym, and now teaches Muay Thai classes as well as his own martial art. Then wrote on his website that the gym in Thailand is his gyms's "sister gym" and how he 'trained a Lumpinee Champion'.

 

Sounds like a job for 'Bullshit Man'
 

 

If the guy is that loud mouthed, he's going to get found out eventually. People are going to look him up and find there's no evidence for his 'achievements'.


I think Sylvie or Kevin posted last year about a Muay Thai gym owner in Mexico (I think it was Mexico, apologies if it wasn't, Mexicans) who claimed to have fought and beaten top level Muay Thai stadium fighters in Thailand, and had posted a picture from his fighting days in the ring as proof. The guy in the picture was Karuhat. People were pointing this out in the comments.

'That's not you, that's Karuhat Sor Supawan'

Mexican gym owner: 'No, it's me'

'You're full of shit. Here's a video of the fight that picture's from. It's Karuhat'

Mexican gym owner: 'No, it's 100% me'

 

The truth always comes out, especially when you have access to the internet.

😂 Love Karl Pilkington, legend!

That's hilarious...brazen enough to use a famous person's photo! 🤣🤣🤣 

It's true, way more likely to get busted these days. The last guys to really get away with it probably came up in the 90s or something

    • 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.
    • 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.
