Martial Arts Odyssey: Malaysia, Boxx Warriors (Parts 2)

Brooklyn Monk, Antonio Graceffo travels to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he trains Muay Thai at Boxx Warriors. Owner Kirsty Dzulkarnain explains how she based her program on the best training and fighting she found in Thailand. Her Thai husband, Saksit Chosipasert, a Muay Thai Champion, and now a military officer, was also instrumental in helping her start Boxx Warriors. No pushover, Kirsty runs the gyms three locations herself, recruiting the best trainers from Thailand. If they dont train the people well, I send them home, back to Thailand. said Kirsty.

The training and teaching at Boxx Warriors was some of the best Muay Thai training, Antonio has ever had. Gyms in Thailand are convenient because they are always open and there are so many teachers available to take you on the pads, but they often dont teach or give actual instructions. The trainers at Boxx Warriors really helped me with proper foot placement and body mechanics. Said Antonio.

Nice!

Was the 'flavor' of the Muay Thai different in Malaysia vs. Thailand?

[brooklynmonk1]

No, the training was almost identical,. the teachers were all thai. the main difference was that in thailand everyone trains full time but in malaysai people had jobs, so muay thai was a fitness hobby.

[azharto]

I beg to differ that not all teachers in Malaysia are Thais.

[brooklynmonk1]

i dont think i said all teachers in malaysia are thais. i think i said all of the teachers at this gym are thais. but if i did say that, please accept my appology.

[azharto]

Sorry for misunderstood your statement. Pls don't apologize when you did no wrong. Apology from myself to you

[izzadi]

actually this boxxworrior gym is the only gym that has thai people as the trainers. another boxxworrior is at Kulim, Kedah.
