Gym for 13 year old son (nak muay)

[robbysixx]

Just wondering the best gym for my 13 year old son 

he regularly fights here in Australia but is looking to further his experience and train with more kids around his age, as there’s much more kids his age in Thailand that train hard and take the sport as serious as him

 

we don’t mind where in Thailand but Bangkok or Chiangmai would be ideal

just looking for a place where there’s a lot of 13 year kids who compete and fight locally or in major events, best way to get better is train with the best so that’s what he’s hoping for

Not your chosen location, but Pattaya has Rambaa's gym which is famous for its fairly traditional training with lots of Thai boys, and Western fighting kids being folded into it all. He's got a pretty good system developed over time, preserving both the old style gym and welcoming foreign young fighters.

Also Silk Muay Thai is a kid adapted gym with much more of a Westernized training style (and much more modern/western accommodations). They also have Thai kids developing out of the gym, and put on trad fight shows, so its a hybrid space. The owner Daniel's kids train and fight there, so the whole thing is very kid conscious, and its well connected in terms of fight opportunities.
