Martial Arts Odyssey: Taiwan Fighters in Thailand

At Windy Sport, Muay Thai Gym in Bangkok, Thailand, host Antonio Graceffo, trains with Ulysses and Max, two Taiwanese fighters from The Forge Gym in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The Forge is one of the leading Muay Thai and MMA gyms in Taiwan, but many Taiwan based fighters still come to Thailand for training.

Taiwan is where Antonio began his Martial Arts Odyssey, in 2001, and for this reason, he has a special place in his heart for Taiwan and Taiwanese fighters. Antonio has lived and trained in Taiwan for a total of about three years, about the same amount of time he has spent I Thailand.

Here the fighters talk about the advantages and disadvantages of training in each of the two countries.
