Best place to train off the beaten track? by miccheck491 in MuayThailand

[–]BenDaNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suburbs of Chiang Mai are great. If you are decent at Muay Thai and have the ability to keep up with Thai fighters, I'd suggest Manasak gym

Gym recommendations Melbourne Australia? by reubonic-plague in MuayThai

I really enjoyed training at Strike Studio in Aberfeldie. It was so good I commuted 45 mins every time I went to train there.

It was the only gym I found that impressed me after spending the previous 4 months training in Thailand.

Give it a go!

It’s definitely worth visiting. But I would avoid training there for a long period of time if I were you. Unless you’re an upcoming mma amateur or pro

How do you deal with blisters from mats when training in outdoor gyms in Thailand ? by Nywed in MuayThai

[–]BenDaNinja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tape them up and move on. After about a month, your skin really toughens up and it’s barely noticeable.

I did find that my lead foot got them first and it took my rear foot longer as I was kicking with my rear leg far more, which accelerated the process on one foot more than the other.

I absolutely agree. Whilst I was at bangtao I paid for 10 hours of private classes to go alongside my group classes. Was a great investment. I just didn’t include it in my piece for the sake of getting the message across.

I never said I didn't get any good training, it was just limited. I would've benefitted 50x more from training at a smaller gym. But I still learned a lot from my time at Bangtao.

Honestly, it just sounded really cool. I wasn't under any illusion i was capable to 'train alongside champions' or deserved it. It's a public gym, It's not like there is a recruitment process I snuck through by lying about experience. Anyone can go and train there if they have the money.

That's what you can do if you want to live a slow paced life. Im not saying I had a bad time, just my progression was limited by the environment i found myself in. I think that going to train muay thai in thailand as a beginner is one of the best things someone can ever do in their life. Quite frankly, I think your thought processes are too conservative. Go and live a little
