Training Camp Kit List


Recommended Posts

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!

In my experience, 1 pair of gloves is fine (14oz in my case, so I can spar safely), just air them out between training (bag gloves definitely not necessary). Shinguards are a good idea, though gyms will always have them and lend them out- just more hygienic to have your own. 

2 pairs of wraps, 2 shorts (I like the lightweight Raja ones for the heat), 1 pair of good road running trainers. Good gumshield and groin-protector, naturally.

Every time I finish training, I bring everything into the shower (not gloves or shinnies, obviously) with me to clean off the (bucketsfull in my case) of sweat, but things dry off quickly here outside of the monsoon season. 

One thing I have found I like is smallish, cotton briefs for training (less cloth, therefore sweaty wetness than boxers, etc.- bring underwear from home- decent, cotton stuff is strangely expensive here).

Don't weigh yourself down too much. You might want to buy shorts or vests from the gym(s) as (useful) souvenirs.

I recommend Action Zone and Keelapan, next door, in Bangkok (good selection and prices):

    • Exactness and review are two essential measurements utilized in assessing the execution of machine learning models, especially in classification errands. Both are vital in understanding how well a demonstrate performs in recognizing between pertinent and unimportant comes about, but they center on diverse viewpoints of accuracy. Data Science Course in Pune Precision measures the precision of positive forecasts made by a show. It is calculated as the number of genuine positive comes about partitioned by the add up to number of positive forecasts (genuine positives furthermore wrong positives). In other words, exactness answers the address: "Out of all the occurrences the demonstrate labeled as positive, how numerous were really redress?" A tall accuracy score demonstrates that when the show predicts a positive result, it is ordinarily redress. This metric is especially imperative in scenarios where wrong positives carry critical results, such as in spam location. If an mail channel marks a authentic e-mail as spam, it may result in critical messages being missed. On the other hand, review, too known as affectability, centers on the model’s capacity to distinguish all pertinent occurrences. It is calculated as the number of genuine positives separated by the whole of genuine positives and untrue negatives. This implies review answers the address: "Out of all genuine positive cases, how numerous did the demonstrate accurately recognize?" A tall review score recommends that the show does not miss numerous important occurrences, which is especially valuable in restorative analyze. For illustration, in cancer discovery, a tall review guarantees that about all cancerous cases are distinguished, indeed if it implies a few untrue positives are included. The trade-off between exactness and review is a common challenge in machine learning. A show can be balanced to favor one over the other depending on the application. Expanding accuracy regularly comes at the fetched of review, as the show gets to be more preservationist in making positive forecasts. Then again, expanding review might lower accuracy, as the demonstrate gets to be more indulgent in labeling occasions as positive. The adjust between the two is regularly spoken to utilizing the F1-score, which is the consonant cruel of exactness and recall.  In down to earth applications, the choice between prioritizing accuracy or review depends on the particular needs of the assignment. In extortion discovery, for occurrence, tall exactness is vital to maintain a strategic distance from dishonestly denouncing authentic exchanges. In differentiate, tall review is basic in look motors to guarantee all pertinent comes about are recovered. Understanding the contrast between these two measurements makes a difference information researchers fine-tune models for ideal execution based on their targets.
    • I see that Sylvie is a short fighter that prefers Muay Khao style. I want understand her approach to this.  As a short person, I prefer to low kick or slip to the opponent's either side to close the distance, land a few strong punches and again angle off out of range, preferably with a low kick, and repeat. But to knee the opponent, I have to approach in a straight line, then sacrifice my mobility by raising one of the knees, and then reach a taller opponent's midsection. Even an opponent that's as short would have plenty of time to land lot of effective punches and step back, out if the knee range. This all sounds risky and uncomfortable to me. But Sylvie makes this knee dominant strategy work. What is her approach? How does she make it work?
    • Thanks a lot @dtrick924 🙏 I currently can run up to 200m+ elevation gain on a 8 to 10 km run near my house.  Someone who trained at Kem know if the elevation gain for the morning hilly run is much more higher ?

    • 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!
