Hi,I will be in Bangkok early January for 10 days,and decided rather than train at one gym,I will only do privates with some legends. I have been having a really hard time finding contact info for a lot of them.

Could you recommend any legends,and possibly pass on their contact info? Please,no Buakaw!! They got back to me and said he charges $8000US for 1 hour

Whoa - wait what?! 8000 (Dollars?!) for Buakaw?! >_> That can't be real lol.

I've never been to Kru Attachai's gym in Bangkok (Attachai Muay Thai) but he does privates for 2500 Baht (see website: https://attachaimuaythai.com/sport-gym/trainings/ ) I had a friend of mine that trained here and nothing but positive reviews based on their experience! Sylvie also wrote an article when he first opened his gym months ago, and there are lots of great info, especially her experience: http://8limbs.us/muay-thai-thailand/new-attachai-muay-thai-gym-fighting-genius-beautiful-surroundings

I do plan of visiting his gym as I will be heading back to Thailand early next year. But you'll get there before I would so if you do ended up going for a private session with Kru Attachai, hope you'll have a blast there! :D

Thanks for the reply! Actually,I have been in contact with Attachai and Sagat,so it looks like I will get a lesson from both. I was hoping to line up at least 3 more privates with different people,but like I said,getting hold of them isn't easy,which is why I need help on here. I plan on keeping a small journal on each session,so I will keep you updated.

 

As for the Buakaw $8000 thing....I tripled checked the price with his gym, because I was sure there was a language barrier. It was the same answer every time!! So either that's the price or he is being misrepresented. Maybe someone on here could try contacting them so we can compare notes.

Thanks for the help,Sylvie. I have Sagat,attachai,hippy and Saenchai lined up for lessons. Hippy has been very cool and enthusiastic about teaching,so I’m pumped about that.

How to contact Hippy for private session? any details?

When are you thinking of heading over? It sounds like all gyms are closed at the moment. His gym has a facebook page:

but they might not reply. If they don't reply then your best bet would be to get to the gym before the morning session ends (once this corona lockdown has been lifted, obviously) and arrange a private session then. Sylvie has a map to his gym here: https://8limbsus.com/muay-thai-thailand/training-hippy-singmanee-relaxation-comes-power

      Jumping on a kick

      By resigned1 · Posted

      Gemini said Burnout from coaching is real it kills your own form because you're focused on everyone but yourself.  That "hop" is usually a bad habit to cheat the hip rotation or force power. It telegraphes your kick and messes with your timing. To fix it, slow down on the bag. Work at 50% speed and focus purely on the pivot of your lead foot staying connected to the mats. Power should come from the hip whip, not a jump.  Check your sparring footage too if you only do it when you're tired, it’s just a fatigue thing. If you do it fresh, you've got some muscle memory to rewrite!

      Looking for a hard reset: Nature, Discipline, and Authenticity

      By Zaruto · Posted

      Hi everyone,   I’m 22, currently finishing my Master's in IT in France, but honestly, I feel like my life is aimless right now. I’m stuck in a bubble of comfort and I need to see the world for what it really is. I want to build a real physical and mental discipline and reconnect with nature. I'm planning to leave on March for a month (or more) of total immersion in Thailand to practice Muay Thaï. I already have few month of experience but I’m still a full beginner. I’m torn between two options and would love your advice:   1. Look Nungubon (Ubon): I love the family vibe and the authenticity of the gym. It feels like the "real deal," but it's in a city neighborhood (no nature) and I've heard they only do one formal training session a day.     2. Kem Muay Thai (Khao Yai): The mountain setting and the nature look perfect for a mental break. But it's expensive (36,000 baht) and I’m worried it might be too focused on westerners/tourists now. I don't want a "resort" experience.   Does anyone have experience with these two? Or maybe a suggestion for a hidden gem in Isan or rural Thailand where I can find that mix of nature + brutal discipline + authenticity and connection with people ?   Thanks for your help.

      Journaling - Readings, Muay Thai, Concepts and Articulations

      By Kevin von Duuglas-Ittu · Posted

      One of the more interesting things that has become clearer in my study of capitalism and Muay Thai is just how much Thailand's traditional Muay Thai is operating within a non-Capitalist organization, much closer to apprenticeship (within the Western tradition), and intimately woven into the Social (re)Production registers (in the West) upon which Capitalism depends. When non-Thais come to Thailand as consumers (or even free agent labor) there is an extreme dysfunction between their motivations and assumptions and the pervading Muay Thai culture they are attempting to integrate with (leaving aside the degrees to which there is a new Tourism-oriented culture which is organized around giving them particular kinds of experiences). As Thailand's Muay Thai turns to Capitalist solutions to its traditional stagnation and decline (much impacted by the COVID slowdown), there are forced mis-translations between cultures, and also increasingly pressured demands for Thais to abandon the values of apprenticed social (re)production.
