Hey! 

I used to live in Kamphaeng Phet, half way between Bangkok and Chiang Mai.  If you are over in Thailand, make sure make a visit out there! It is one of the best places I have ever been to and I am so grateful for my time spent there. A friend of mine recently moved to Kamphaeng Phet and has taken up a campaign to raise money for the gym we train/ trained at. Keatchatchi is a small family run gym, consisting of a few bags and a ring in the garage of the gym owner's backyard. I believe since I've left they have knocked down a couple walls for more space. The gym consistently puts out good fighters who fight at Ratchadamnoen and on tv! Beyond good fighters, the gym puts out good people. These kids are wonderful individuals, lively and charming, devoted and determined. It's truly a family, a home away from home. They look after one another and are some of the most respectful kids I have ever met. Once you train at this gym, you become part of their family. Many of the kids fight to support their families, as do many other fighters across Thailand. It's important to remember most of them are only kids and should be able to go to school and play and learn and grow and do all the things that kids are supposed to do. It would be amazing if we could all support them in some small way. There are two other gyms in the area as well, all needing a little extra support. 

Thank you so much!

Here are a couple links to give you more info:

      Journaling - Readings, Muay Thai, Concepts and Articulations

      By The Bongo · Posted

      Your comments here remind me of two authors in particular.  The first, Walter Benjamin, who wrote Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction in around 1920, and William S Burroughs.  Both were concerned with the ability of modern modes of production of profit increasing quantity, with a corresponding collapse in quality.     The intersection of traditional art and contemporary media consumption is not new.  We still have art galleries, museums and opera.  We still even have cheese rolling, dwile flonking and the Atherstone Ball Game in the UK.  Let's hope there are enough lovers of true Muay Thai to support it at festival level, certainly these traditional forms can be promoted, there are numerous examples of art forms which have promoted their pure selves.  One example is playhouses live broadcasting to cinemas.  The old art form utilises the newer to its benefit.   I certainly intend to travel to Chenjigou to train the martial art that the Chen family have taught there since the 1640's.  I intend to travel to Thailand for similar reasons.

      Whatever one's position on the future of Thailand's Muay Thai, its hard to deny that many of the arguments for the unstoppable - but sometimes delayed - "evolution" of the sport, it's imagined "potential" being reached through globalization and hoped-for mass popularity, it's provincial/parochial (or corrupt) nature being technologically "modernized" and rationalized, mirror the justification reasonings behind colonialism, which held a concept of beneficent, educating husbandry and willful, well-rewarded participants in the culture. This is not to say that they are the same, we are in a different time in history, but only that the ethical questions about colonialism likely need to also be answered in this case, where "development" by powerful outside forces and interests is assumed as an unproblematic Good.

      This is aside from the worrisome corrosive effect of replacing extremely knowledgeable, deeply invested in-stadium fans with phone scrolling tourists who know very little about the sport or what is going on in the ring. A sport (and art) in a certain sense cannot survive at a high level of performance with such a huge in-stadium fan disparity. Audience will over time shape the product...when it becomes a "product". This is one of the quagmires of a consumerist approach.

      Muay Thai Magazines

      I'm sorry I don't really know. Sylvie is in touch with a collector and this person is where she buys hers, but there are not multiple copies available. Maybe someone else would know of a larger source.

      Muay thai in Australia

      By Snack Payback · Posted

      I can only comment on Perth. There's a very active Muay Thai scene here - regular shows. Plenty of gyms across the city with Thai trainers. All gyms offer trial classes so you can try a few out before committing . Direct flights to Bangkok and Phuket as well. Would you be coming over on a working holiday visa? Loads of work around Western Australia at the moment.
