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!!!!

    • 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. 
    • [someone posting that students shouldn't be allowed to spar without 6 months in Foundations Class]   Not to respond too directly to the above statement, more to just this kind of advisement which is maybe common, but it just shows how far trad Muay Thai development was from today's class centric, out of Thailand (but probably in some parts of Thailand too) is. They are just two very different worlds and practices. Sparring, especially as it seems it was in the Golden Age...was part of foundations. Yes, there was a lot of grueling bag work or shadow boxing, but sparring playfully in space was part of young fighter development. It's not this extreme, but its a bit like saying you shouldn't get on a surf board until you have the fundamentals down for many months. The point was to assemble fundamentals in relationship to others. And, I certainly understand there are huge differences between these worlds, Westerners spar with different intents. It's only to point out that what Thais traditionally achieved was through very different sensibilities over what Muay Thai even was.  It much more than this, I hope to finish an article on how trad Muay Thai is developed as social rite of passage way-of-life development, but at minimum there is a huge difference in concept in how skills should be acquired.  
    • Just published a rough copy of my watching notes for all 11 of Wichannoi's fights:

    • 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.
    • 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.
