My project :Muay Thai 4 Orphans


Recommended Posts

Hi you guys and girls,
for the ones of you with a heart for good causes could you please give my project some likes and shares and if possible some support???
I started the project in 2015 cause I wanted to do sth back for all the things Thailand has given me ;sports, great holidays,awesome people, delicious food etc. It got me back on the good track when I was at less good times.
I started a project to raise money in order to support a orphanage located in Lop Buri province Thailand. The place is called Baan Gerda (www.baangerda.org) and they take care of orphans who all are infected with HIV or AIDS. They make sure they are educated, get their meds in time and offer them a family to grow up in. Great place where they do an awesome job!
To raise money I did some Muay Thai demonstration and shows at Thai events in Belgium,we gave a seminar with Germaine De Randemie, organised Thai food-evening at our local Thai Temple but main income is the sale of T-shirts,shorts and hoodies.(which we send worldwide :-)  ;-)  )
All help or ideas to take action and make a difference are welcome.
The first year I got  about 3000€ together , last year  I was able to double the amount to 6200€ and this year I hope to have equal or more to give .  My next visit to the orphanage is planned for october so we have still 3 months to raise the money.
For the moment we're having a GIVE AWAY to thank all the people who supported us with great prices!!!!

    • Im late to the feast, but reading the starting post and the answer, I do agree.  You TS  are probably better trained than most debutants I do see in Thailand form the hundreds of videos from there...  So dont worry too much... What is the big difference, they dont use protections... And thus, the hits hurts for real... Make sure your belly muscles are super top trained  - and be prepared it hurts and thus be prepared to endure sharp pain. Also, to continue to fight althought you got elbow in the head and its bleeding... Essentially, what Kevin talks when he recommends a months preparation to toughen up, to get used to the atmosphere.   I have seen more then once  decently trained debutant fighters, whom immediately break up as soon they notice it hurts for real. Or they start to bleed...  "ref himself did looked and stopped the match" told the otherwise top trained guy...  My comment:  But the ref didnt stopped the match because it bled, he stopped the match because he saw the foreigner got scared and had enough for today...   Ps.   Another note:  they very seldom use the throw in towel.  They KNOW the tradition, but its very seldom used.  Most thais do their best to fight into the end...  Even if they occasionally dive, ie allow themselves to be KOed. Begging the ref to stop do happens but its most often foreigners whom do so.
    • Anything stitched can be restitched!  Most cities have a cobbler/leather worker who can fit the required foam.  I'd imagine that foam selection is pretty difficult.
    • I have a pair of twins I got at the small shop at Lumpinee in about 98 and have some sentimental value to me. The leathers amazing still but the foams gone crunchy and hard like yours. One of my good friends has a student who refurbishes gear. He's looking into foam to replace the foam in the pads for me. I'll let you know how he gets on.

    • 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.
    • Where can I find some physical old Muay Thai magazines? I am located in Bangkok. Thanks
    • 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. 
    • Hi, I'm considering moving to Australia from the UK and I'm curious what is the scene like? Is it easy to fight frequently (proam/pro level), especially as a female? How does it compare to the UK? Any gym recommendations? I'll be grateful for any insights.
    • You won't find thai style camps in Europe, because very few people can actually fight full time, especially in muay thai. As a pro you just train at a regular gym, mornings and evenings, sometimes daytime if you don't have a job or one that allows it. Best you can hope for is a gym with pro fighters in it and maybe some structured invite-only fighters classes. Even that is a big ask, most of Europe is gonna be k1 rather than muay thai. A lot of gyms claim to offer muay thai, but in reality only teach kickboxing. I think Sweden has some muay thai gyms and shows, but it seems to be an exception. I'm interested in finding a high-level muay thai gym in Europe myself, I want to go back, but it seems to me that for as long as I want to fight I'm stuck in the UK, unless I switch to k1 or MMA which I don't want to do.
