is this us dollars a month or thai currency??!?!?!?

[mohawk411]

us dollars

[billygunz99]

How much were the monthly training costs?

[mohawk411]

$15 a day for 2 sessions morning 7am and afternoon 3pm. or you can take out a monthly gym membership for $382 which includes 1 muay thai session at 6pm everynight, I went for the membership so I could use the weights, cardio machines and other classes also the 6pm classes are empty so you have the help of 5-6 fighters, the other daily sessions are packed

[billygunz99]

That's not too bad at all. How long did the 6pm session usually last and what did it consist of? The usual skipping, shadow boxing, bag work, pad work, clinching? How many rounds did you get on the pads? Oh.. lol, and what time does the facility close at, if it's open 24hrs I'm going to be a very happy man .. lol, lots of questions .. thanks in advance..

6pm class is 1-1 training with your trainer,5 rounds at 3 mins a go with 1 min rest in between,it begins with a warmup doing shadow kickboxing.Your trainer will work you on the pads and spar a bit with you to work on your reactions.They will work on any area you need help with, i was a beginner so they drilled the basics into me and worked on my fitness. The 6pm class is quite so the trainers will take you out of the ring and get you to work on situps to finish a class. The club closes at 10pm

Hiya guys, just wondered if any of u guys would be good enough to offer advice or point me in the right direction. I've researched what I can but I'd like some advice on where to look. I'm hoping to train, probably in December in Muay Thai in Thailand in one of their many camps. It might only be for about a month but I can go back regularly. Been Thailand many times but not yet for this reason. Any suggestions? Looking to learn & improve as much as poss'. Fitness isn't an issue. Cheers all.

Yea it is. But then again, this a high quality gym, everything is top quality... And the training you get is probably the best that you can get.

[raymond33w]

simple 2 minute stretches every morning and you wil be kicking head height within a month. no problem!

[realceza]

if you get a 10 lesson ticket for muay thai you would only have to pay 500 baht each training, i kno cause i go train here

[brotherjohnno]

yes, I guess you're right. I'm pretty fit and an ex-boxer so who knows, maybe i'll do it one day.

The leg flexibility is my main problem, my groin areas don't seem to allow me to throw those roundhouses much above waist height. Get a bit of pain from it. Other than that i could probably put up a good show.

Keep on fighting!

Dude, I am 44 and I have been training for 6 yrs, 4 hours a week. You cannot be older than me. I can still kick butt against much younger guys. It is just mentality and fitness.

[brotherjohnno]

thanks for posting, really interesting. Would love to go and train there, just too old now i'm guessing.
