Hi,

I know there are a few topics on Kem Gym already but was wondering if someone got precise feedbacks on running there ?

I'll finally stay at Kem's at the end of the year for 2 months, after few years without training... and specifically without running (hate the roadwork...).  But I recently started to run again to prepare myself before going, in order to fulljoy the training there. Thanks to Sylvie mainly and her runcasts, with the enlightenment to take the roadwork each morning as a mental training as well.

Anyone who trained there could possibly know the elevation for the morning runs around the gym ? So I can adjust my daily routine and not stay focused on flat ground.

(Sorry for my perhaps broken english)

Many thanks

This thread and article are pretty old but it sounds like they. used to do a 5-10 km hilly run in the AM and a flatter 2-3 km run in the afternoon.

I recommend running at least 30-45 minutes daily on top of training before going. 10 KM run in the mountains at 6h00 AM. Afternoon 2-3 KM run of about 10-15 minutes on a much more flat ground.

Khorat 591.76 m / 1941.48 feet in altitude.  Bangkok is 4.48 m / 14.69 feet.

      Jumping on a kick

      By resigned1 · Posted

      Gemini said Burnout from coaching is real it kills your own form because you're focused on everyone but yourself.  That "hop" is usually a bad habit to cheat the hip rotation or force power. It telegraphes your kick and messes with your timing. To fix it, slow down on the bag. Work at 50% speed and focus purely on the pivot of your lead foot staying connected to the mats. Power should come from the hip whip, not a jump.  Check your sparring footage too if you only do it when you're tired, it’s just a fatigue thing. If you do it fresh, you've got some muscle memory to rewrite!

      Looking for a hard reset: Nature, Discipline, and Authenticity

      By Zaruto · Posted

      Hi everyone,   I’m 22, currently finishing my Master's in IT in France, but honestly, I feel like my life is aimless right now. I’m stuck in a bubble of comfort and I need to see the world for what it really is. I want to build a real physical and mental discipline and reconnect with nature. I'm planning to leave on March for a month (or more) of total immersion in Thailand to practice Muay Thaï. I already have few month of experience but I’m still a full beginner. I’m torn between two options and would love your advice:   1. Look Nungubon (Ubon): I love the family vibe and the authenticity of the gym. It feels like the "real deal," but it's in a city neighborhood (no nature) and I've heard they only do one formal training session a day.     2. Kem Muay Thai (Khao Yai): The mountain setting and the nature look perfect for a mental break. But it's expensive (36,000 baht) and I’m worried it might be too focused on westerners/tourists now. I don't want a "resort" experience.   Does anyone have experience with these two? Or maybe a suggestion for a hidden gem in Isan or rural Thailand where I can find that mix of nature + brutal discipline + authenticity and connection with people ?   Thanks for your help.

      Journaling - Readings, Muay Thai, Concepts and Articulations

      One of the more interesting things that has become clearer in my study of capitalism and Muay Thai is just how much Thailand's traditional Muay Thai is operating within a non-Capitalist organization, much closer to apprenticeship (within the Western tradition), and intimately woven into the Social (re)Production registers (in the West) upon which Capitalism depends. When non-Thais come to Thailand as consumers (or even free agent labor) there is an extreme dysfunction between their motivations and assumptions and the pervading Muay Thai culture they are attempting to integrate with (leaving aside the degrees to which there is a new Tourism-oriented culture which is organized around giving them particular kinds of experiences). As Thailand's Muay Thai turns to Capitalist solutions to its traditional stagnation and decline (much impacted by the COVID slowdown), there are forced mis-translations between cultures, and also increasingly pressured demands for Thais to abandon the values of apprenticed social (re)production.
