Hi all,
frankly, muay thai training is almost the same throughout the world. running, skipping, punch bags, padworks, grappling....
Maybe some gym or camp mite have good experince trainers which can make a difference...other than that..i think its no difference wether you train here or any other part of the world... The question is..can you put in 8hours of training a day everyday? If you can, i believe not only you can be a successful fighter....i think one can also excel in any other sports....
But, well....This is Singapore.....
Just a thought. -
the training at thailand is damn damn tough..i heard they run like 10km in the morning,100 punches,100 kicks or was it 200 or something den go breakfast..i heard from my instructor..
-
well...you can do it in singapore if you want to also...hehe... if you can take it la....
tough training is all up ther in the mind. I have to admit, for my age i no longer can push all the way to the limit. Only started muay thay for 1 half years. For the past 8 yrs have been living in booze and smokes...no exercise at all.... So its a miracle I've gone this far!! haha
Ifyou really want to be a good fighter, put in effort. You mite not be able to train 8 hours a day..maybe half of it every weekday...rest your body over weekend. But of course..you have to push yourself.....
I'll be competiting this comng saturday. My first fight.Though its amatuer, i still have my fears. Fear of losing!! Anyway, if you got a chance to see,i suggest you check out the 2 fighters representing Singapore from BXG in the pro fight. I have seen them train and I tell you....its comparable to those in Thai camp. Cos one of them is a pro thai fighter back in Thailand and ...boy...he juz godam good. I think I shall stop praising...if not I'll be flame!! haha....
See to believe! -

Fight Cards for the pro fights
Match 1 will feature two thai guy sloggin it out in a 3min 5 round contest. Joy from BXG represnting Singapore will go against a thai guy from phuket camp. Joy hails from Nakhon Pahnom North East Thailand. KO specialist.
Match 2. Johnny's guy from Hilltop against an Indonesian guy. Sorry..I dun have much info on that.
Match 3. Steven Ong Lana's Camp from Singapore against another thai guy from phuket camp. Only know that Steven had stayed in thailand for a couple of years and he speaks thai better than english. His opponent looks pretty young and is also in pretty good shape.
Match 4. Zack handsome dude who trains together with us in BXG. His opponent is the South African guy. Both are in good shape. Both are also quite tall. And I know Zacks kick packs a awesome load of power.
Match 5. Joe from BXG will pair up with the Dutch guy. Well...The only thing I can say here is...Joe's is in superb shape and have dedicated in training for this fight. His body is awesome with no fats in side and he looks much more intimidating than his 'farang' oppponent. -

results of pro fights at seletar camp
Match 1. Joy from BXG vs Thai guy from phuket camp.
The game ended in a draw....very diplomatic fight...cos thai embassy was there....eh... those who were there will know that who is the better fighter...
Match 2. Hilltop vs Indonesia
Din really see the match. BUt i know that indonesian guy went on the mat...claiming he got kick in the grion... Hilltop won.
Match 3. Steven from Lana vs Thai guy
also din see much....but was closed...but i see that the thai boy landed his kick on target most of the times.... Thailand won.
Match 4. Zack vs South Africa.
Clash of heavy weights..Both at 70kg.Rare in muay thai for this cat. Zack did lots of damage to the angmoh with his powerful kicks. Very nice kick to the head. Zack won. Well done Zack!
Match 5. Joe from BXG vs Dutch boy.
To me..its a mismatch. The angmoh was totally outclass in the first round... He was lucky to survive from getting ko. Round 2 saw joe got a cut to his lips. But
still..the dutch boy is no match for Joe's powerful low kick and right punch.
Clear winner..Joe Bxg!
Well...rather awesome atmosphere....good crowd of around 400 plus ppl cramp in a hall.... Good experince for me also... oh yes..i will be back to compete....will have to train harder now.... -

it sounds like 'thai porridge' lol

Personally i also think muay thai trainings are quite similar anywhere - running, skipping, lots of punching etc.
1st need to beef up cardio endurance to stay "Fighting Fit". I find burpees pushup is a good form of training too. Try doing 3 mins skipping + 1 mins burpees and see how many times u can achieve. Learning correct punching techniques, squarts...ducks etc also important lah.
Having a good "teacher" is most essential. Hard to find these days, all those gyms charge u 1 arm 1 leg. In this aspect, I'm lucky to have a personal teacher trained in Boxing, TKD, Judo, Hapkido, Karate, Wushu for more than 30 years. I still go gym for weight stations and cardio machines. But all other martial arts/fitness trainings now are taught by him. We trained hard just to build foundation. A typical training consists of several sessions of skippings (10 mins each), at least 500 punches and 500 kicks on each leg.. -
