Where did you train at AND what's important for you when it comes to choosing a Muay Thai Gym? 😄
Currently training at "Saekson Janjira Muay Thai." cause it was the first gym I found near me that offered Muay Thai more than 1 time a week.
@@Angeal241good choice, so you can stay active 🔥 is it in Thailand? What country?
@@muaymichael it is in the US. Texas to be more specific and I live in a fast growing town that is mostly host to krav maga. Taekwondo or bjj so to find this gym was to look an hour from where i live
I'm also from Germany and plan on starting with Muay Thai once I finished by Abitur and moved to Uni. Very inspiring content! Keep it up I love your videos!
Thanks for writing in English so our fellow mates here in the comment section can understand 😂👍 zieh weiter durch, sehr stark 🔥
@@muaymichael Dankeschön, werde ich machen
I've just started, 2 sessions in and I love it. I'm eager to learn, I feel very much a fish out of water in the gym but will keep practicing! Great channel and videos!
Sounds awesome keep it up! 🔥🤩
Great video mate!
Thank you Jack 🔥 youre from the uk?
@@muaymichael yep, and training in Bangkok
Nice ! I agreed with the technique first idea. My gym also train like this and it make things improve very good, if you stop by bangkok you can visit my gym if you like at Baan Chang Thai Muay Thai Chaiya Camp
I used to live in China. I trained under Thai and Filipino coaches. I'm training back in Britain now. Main thing I've noticed is more clinch taught in Asia. What was your experience of the clinch being taught?
Hey Alex, thats spot on - exactly my experience too. It's way more present in Thailand and I think in the clinch its also where most foreigners struggle against a Thai. They just practice it more often =) sounds like you had a good time!
Shocked china would let Muay Thai gyms
I lived mainly in Beijing. There were lots of commercial gyms. They seem to have been around for a while. The marketplace in China is capitalist just like everywhere else. If there's demand someone can supply it. Also most people aren't too keen on traditional Chinese martial arts anymore because there's been lots of evidence online of how ineffectual they can be in a full contact fight
Do you have any suggestion on what to do with my left side. I tried muy thai in thailand for 2 sessions, once in koh tao and once in bangkok, was really fun and im planning to go back next year maybe for 3-6 months to practice. Thing is when kicking on my left side, it feels so weird, like i have no control over my left kick. right side is no problem and i can kick hard and fast but left side is so bad. also do you have some good excercises for stifnes?
cant wait to train again, no thai boxing where i live unfortunetely. But im going to gym every 2 day now and focusing on building strenght and conditioning as i have a dream of one day go 1-1 in a muy thai fight also. The sparring doesnt count :P
I’ve trained in both countries, personally I think you loose a lot in Thailand by not developing pad holding, it helps you see the game in a different way
Great video man! There is nowhere like Thailand. I trained at Phuket Singha, Yotharak and Fairtex when I was in Thailand for 2 months. I train at Sittichok gym in Las Vegas when I'm in the US, and different gyms in Vietnam. You did a good job emphasizing that it is culture and the sport for Thai people is only a small part, whereas for westerners it is just a "sport". My biggest difference I noticed is the running every day, and no air conditioning ever, just 100% humidity 😂
Haha agree! You came around thats great, thanks for sharing 🔥
Hey bro! I'm heading to Thailand for 3 months of Muay Thai training. Should I train in your locality or in Bangkok? Any recommendations for a gym at each location? By the way, you're killing it-keep up the great work!
Bro to be honest, if you like Bangkok and you have the opportunity definitely check it out! In Bangkok are the most professional gyms, I'm just not training there because I like the Chiang Mai nature too much 😄
Just make sure its not the most famous one, the classes gonna be overfilled there 😄 choose one with good reviews, but with less reviews
👍
Try original Maui thai. Was in fight quest
My question is.. If I don't care about competing or anything like that I just the training, Do you think is beneficial going to Thailand. And if someone if fairly fit, How long does it take to be good? thank You.
Muay Thai in Thailand is worth the experience in my opinion 😄 depends on your dedication, but you get fit very fast if you go consistently because its such a good mix of speed, power and overall fitness 💪
Oh I see. Will be looking into it for sure. sometime in late 2024 I hope. Thank You brother.@@muaymichael
Hey man im looking for a good gym to train on thailand any recommendations?
did not found a bad gym so far 😄 training session is very similar everywhere, so just depends on where you want to stay. Beach,nature,city
Currently training in Bangkok, Muay Thai Academy. :)
Staying here for 2 weeks and then I'll fly to Koh Samu.
I like the Japanese, European style better. The Thai style were good in the golden era days. Now most Muay Thai focus on gambling, so they focus more on aggression than technique. There are a select few like Sitjaopho who focus on technique.
Hey Michael ..do you believe that some gyms in the world are watered down versions of good Muay thai ? I train in Paraquay and how do i know if the gym is just focused on strenght and power? I ve been training for 1 year now for 1-3 times a week depending my work shedule. I feel that i hardly ever trained clinch training for example or do i need more experience ? Lg
Clinching is normally “bigger” in Thailand than in other counties. So it’s not surprising that its not in the usual training schedule… If you are still happy with your progress, theres nothing wrong with the training =)
Do you have ig? I could check your form
Ig ? Instagram ?
I m following you now ..thanks for your offer 🙏my name is Hans Coolen
