I know i'm probably going to get told that I need to go to a more popular area/gym to get a fight & best trainers however I thought i'd see if anyone has done this before,

As the title says I have a interest in training at a gym with less foreigners and that is a bit more rugged, specifically anything around to the north as I would like to explore that area.

I've seen online theres alot of gyms in the north these gyms seem to only have younger fighters up to the age is 16ish.

Has anyone trained at any of these gyms with active fighters over the age of 20 to match a foreigners size etc?

I'm ideally looking for that 'spit and saw dust' oldschool vibe & I know times change and things improve so its harder to find these gyms with the 'golden era' vibe.

I've linked a video to the vibe I am going for below.

I'd ideally like to have at least one fight in my time that I am out there as well if that info helps at all. (3 months).

That was such a good read, Thats exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks for reading. I never did close the loop on that thread and still owe the forum some closure on my experience there. I'm going to do that soon and start a new thread for my next training adventure, but in California this time.

Sounds great!

We recently spent some time filming in Ubon (not Udon) at a legit kaimuay: #149 Provincial Kaimuay Knowledge | Santi Ubon Muay Thai (85 min)

it would just be great to have insight into your arc of personal experiences at another kaimuay.

      Is Yodkhounpon gives courses in a specific gym

      By AandAinThailand · Posted

      Hey, I just saw this now, I'm surprised nobody replied before.  When I was in Thailand in 2021/22, I also did several privates with Yodkhunpon and enjoyed it very much! I paid and did the sessions at Petchrungruang gym in Pattaya and the initial contact was made by Sylvie, whom I wrote on facebook (thanks again!). The sessions after that, I arranged directly with Yodkhunpon. Unfortunately I havent been back to Thailand since, so I like to read about other people's experiences, so keep writing people!  Has anyone been at Singha Mawyn in Bkk? Superbon used to train there, but more importantly the trainers are legends themselves e.g. Namsaknoi and Khaolan Kaovichit.  Would also be interested in reading about Kiatphontip just outside of Bkk,  and other semi-rural settings.

      Depression caused by fighting/training

      By Seli · Posted

      Hey! I totally get what you mean about pushing through—it can sometimes backfire, especially with mood swings and fatigue. Regarding repeated head blows and depression, there’s research showing a link, especially with conditions like CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy). More athletes are recognizing the importance of mental health alongside training.

      Training Camp Kit List

      By EJJ · Posted

      Hi all, I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be traveling to Thailand soon for just over a month of traveling and training. I am a complete beginner and do not own any training gear. One of the first stops on my trip will be to explore Bangkok and purchase equipment. What should be on my list? Clearly, gloves, wraps, shorts and mouthguard are required. I would be grateful for some more insight e.g. should I buy bag gloves and sparring gloves, whether shin pads are worthwhile for a beginner, etc. I'm partiularly conscious of the heat and humidity, it would make sense to pack two pairs of running shoes, two sets of gloves, several handwraps and lots of shorts. Any nuggets of wisdom are most welcome. Thanks in advance for your contributions!

      Dry Needling (electro-acupuncture)

      By Joelxthewolf · Posted

      3½ years late of a reply haha. I'm in Phuket and have went to quite a few physios. The best so far is Meaw at OptimiseFit at the Blue Tree in north Phuket. She doesn't dry needle me as another Dr. has here but all my muscle tension came back soon so it's a waste of money.
