If you are in berlin, it depends a bit on where you are gonna stay. There are a few gyms... Spitfire is one option. I am

currently at Ringside Gym and AXTCombat. They are both very central. Ringside has more training options in the evenings and mornings. If you have any questions, i can help you out

Ringside Berlin, I second that, but only because a trainer I had the pleasure to train with during a summer camp is now there as a guest coach until end of July :D As far as I saw from his pictures on social media, he seems to be impressed with the level of the gym, so that speaks volumes to me.

I guess you mean Bartosz?

 

Haven't had the pleasure yet to train with him, but i am excited what he has to teach.

Depending on your level, classes might be really packed sometimes, but the trainer handle it really well. If you are staying in NK it is pretty easy to get there even if the public traffic sucks very often. I recommend to you to get yourself a bike, especially now there is finally summer

Yup, it's Bartosz. He spent two years (if my memory serves me right, might be more) in Thailand, training and living at the gym, fighting out of Sinbi. He's the first Polish person to fight at Thai Fight at a New Years eve event (Kard Chuek -spelling?) and basically the best in his weight class in Poland at the moment. I only spent like a 10-day camp with him as a guest trainer, so I have no idea how his "usual" trainings look like at his gym (he has a gym in Wroclaw - Breslau and I'm from Warsaw), but I really liked how he teaches tricks in the clinch. He has a really "Thai" style, if I can say so. And he has a funny personality, so trainings with him are a lot of fun. I'd love to train with him again, I feel like I can learn so much more!

hm, ive been training for about a year and a half now i think because of my work schedule usually i get in once a week occasionally ill manage 2-3 on a good month. Ive done clinching once unfortunately haven't made a proper clinch class... ive noticed that alot of the gyms in Berlin do sparing which i haven't had a chance at. Im wondering if i should pack my shinguards do they use them in class often?

You should definitly pack them if they don't take up to much

space.

There are also classes

on saturday which is nice. And if you want to i can show you some clinching during open gym or saturday's.

    • ONE didn't invent giving bonuses on top of fight pay in Thailand. In fact it took a long tradition of gamblers providing injections during fights to inspire fighters. When you hear about traditional fight pay you are missing out on the "injection" bonuses which can be substantial. Here today a fighter winning 500,000 injection bonus ($15,000+ USD) and being guided into the stands to thank the gamblers (who are often portrayed in simplistic caricatured ways). It's an ecosystem out of balance, but its still an ecosystem, in which parts support parts. Instead in ONE this bonus tradition has been transferred to only ONE big boss, being handed out on the preference of a single man, who is attempting to steer the aesthetic of Muay Thai itself...away from tradition.  https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=791304983340912&rdid=mUWvMklDzJ4i3xa6  
    • Watched this fight yesterday, and was really moved by Devy. Looking back at Bill's skills he's everything Entertainment Muay Thai dreams of for a fighter, mixing combinations with Thai techniques, eyes and timing. Beautiful stuff. But Devy is incredible...in such a subtle way. He's like: I'm take your pyrotechniques and just hold position and cover, then move the set, take, hold blast a lowkick to your back thigh. It's like watching a chef cook a masterpiece with 3 ingredients. It really doesn't matter who won this fight, its up over 150 lbs, its the art of this cloistered, minimalist fighting, and his shrug-offs of the aggression and attempts to intimidate. Bill probably the most skilled Western fighter in history, but something deeper and older going on here with Devy. Something that is almost painful to receive beamed across the decades to here and now, as everyone is trying to push Muay Thai into Entertainment and Westernization, Globalization.   
    • Saenchai with another KO win on Entertainment Thai Fight. He's the last magical fighter of Thailand, that last of Thailand's greatness, and we are all blessed as he continues in the ring. I don't watch it much (or any of Thai Fight), but still consider it a blessing. When he stops it will all be gone, even though this is kind of half-fighting, and surely he'll do show fights after his retirement. What I love about this photo - and the first thing is that it suddenly feels like Saenchai has aged, and this happens - but what I love about this photo is that you can see his "coal eyes", which is what I call them. There was an old trainer at Lanna named Nok, who when you trained with him his eyes, if you got any advantage or edge, would just turn black. You could see, he just went into that state. And you knew, stop fucking around. Saenchai has always had such a joyful, playful visage, and a charm of handsomeness that he carried everywhere, even into intense battles. But every great, experienced fighter, even Saenchai, has "coal eyes" inside of him, they have to or they couldn't do it the way that they have. And, in my poetic view, it feels like in this slightly aged photo you can see his coal eyes come out. And its really beautiful.

    • 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!
