1 Year Training in Bangkok and Bangkok Area - Which Gyms to choose for what :-)?


Recommended Posts

Hello there,

I am visiting Thailand for a Year from May 2021 to May 2022.

Over the year I will primary stay in BKK. My primary goal for my time of stay is to practice Muay Thai at least twice a day.

I have around 2-3 Years Training in MT.

My Initial plan was to find gyms that focus on different aspects and stay with them for a Month (for example Kicks or Clinch work), unfortunately I couldn’t really figure out which gyms are focusing on what in BKK and BKK Area, besides FA Group.

Would be nice if you could send some Suggestions  : - )

  • Gyms that focus on the following in BKK or in the area:
  • Gyms for Fundamentals from beginner to Intermediate?
  • Gyms that focus on Kicking (Teep, High Kick, Low Kick, Middle Kick)?
  • Gyms that focus on Punching?
  • Gyms that focus on Knee Strikes?
  • Gyms that focus on Elbows?
  • Gyms that focus on Clinch?
  • Gyms that focus on Sweeps?

The Gym can be full Thai, would be a nice addon if there was someone capable of speaking some English :)

 

Thanks in Advance : - )

Just some suggestions BKK.

For "hands" Chatchai Sasakul

For "all around technique" Samart Payakaroon.

For "authentic old school" gym feel Sangtiennoi's gym

For "brushing with top fighters in a hot gym" PK Saenchai

For small gym with a great padman Yodwicha Gym

If you aren't physically too big Keatkomtorn gym has good clinch

This is Sylvie's recommended list:

    • Hi, I just started Muay Thai and I want a pair of gloves that will last me more than a year and I could use as a all around glove for training and also sparring for when I like rank up. I am 250 lb, 6'1 so I am a bigger guy and I was thinking getting the Twins Special BGVL3 16 oz gloves? Are these good for what I want or are there better options for a similar/cheaper price?
    • One of the effects of deteriorating defense in Muay Thai is that sub-optimal offenses will become more effective. Which is to say, they will no longer appear sub-optimal (based on flawed principles). The lack of eyes, or distance control, or sound principles on defense will elevate certain offensive trends which would never fly in the past...one of the subtle ways deskilling is happening. Basic combo-ing sudden is proven effective. Blind pocket trading, effective. Spamming elbows, effective. And with that effectiveness the loss of skill.
    • One of the great ethical difficulties to the above is: Do you want to make visible what is currently invisible to the cartographic appropriations of colonial capital? Or, just let them sit safely out of range, in their unseen character? On one hand it feels like you must make them visible so to marshall forces to protect and safeguard, and even possibly restore; on the other hand by mapping the invisible then you just set the conditions for appropriation and distortion, and eventual elimination. One of the aspects which I believe kept Thailand's Muay Thai so resilient, despite so many international influences (probably for 500 years even), is a certain kind of hermetic quality to provincial Siam/Thailand, the way that there are cultural dividing lines, which provincial ways of life and culture exist in their own right, than you are passing into another "land".

    • 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!
