Private lessons


Recommended Posts

I am preparing my next trip to Thailand, on my first trip note that for a new student it is best to have private lessons, the problems is the price, in the gyms of Bkk around 1000 baths, if it is true that in Pukhet is something more Cheap, but Pukhet does not fit my plans.

What Gym and instructor would you recommend that the cost of private lessons be cheap and of quality? I do not care about the location.

Mixing in private lessons is a really good way to get concentrated instruction. Pi Daeng at Lanna in Chiang Mai I believe charges 500 baht per hour (as do the other instructors).

Somewhat on topic: I did weekly private sessions for my first two years of training (in the USA) and they were extrenely helpful. I had to stop for financial reasons, but I've grabbed an individual session here and there as my budget allows. If you can afford them, I highly recommend working one-on-one with your trainer in addition to group classes.

After my first trip to Thailand is something that I have very clear, without private lessons the only thing I get is to improve my cardio.

The last two weeks what I did was a private lesson tomorrow and a group training in the afternoon, the problem cost.

In Sinbi was 500 Bhats the lesson, in Bkk and Samui 800/1000 bhats, day after day is a lot of money.

To say that in Bangkok the best option I found was in Elite Fight, with coach GAE, they were 1200 bhats, but included two sessions, private class, and use of facilities, including a pool, and at bkk it's great.

If you're able to commit to a certain length of time/frequency, "the cheapest private" cost I've found is @ Chacrit Muay Thai in Bangkok (6000 baht for 15 sessions which comes out to 400 baht/per). In fact, they ONLY do privates. It's kind of a unique situation as Muay Thai camps go, as you basically just show up and work with a trainer. They don't run classes. There are usually several trainers on hand and once you work with one, you're pretty sure to work with the same one as long as you let them know when you're coming next. Really good spot for a beginner for sure!!

500 baht for Daeng is a steal. Super nice guy, too! Be prepared to work HARD  :starwars:

    • Hi Warren  It was very quiet when I was there. A few local guys and 2-4 foreigners but that can change and I'm sure this gym has got more popular. You can schedule privates for whenever you want. The attention to detail here is unbelievable and I highly recommend you train at this gym. In my experience, everyone was really good training partners and I learnt loads everyday.

    • You can look through my various articles which sometimes focuses on this: https://8limbsus.com/muay-thai-forum/forum/23-kevins-corner-muay-thai-philosophy-ethics/ especially the article on Muay Thai as a Rite. The general thought is that Thailand's traditional Muay Thai offers the world an important understanding of self-control in an era which is increasingly oriented towards abject violence for entertainment. There are also arguments which connect Muay Thai to environmental concerns.

    • Hi, this might be out of the normal topic, but I thought you all might be interested in a book-- Children of the Neon Bamboo-- that has a really cool Martial Arts instructor character who set up an early Muy Thai gym south of Miami in the 1980s. He's a really cool character who drives the plot, and there historically accurate allusions to 1980s martial arts culture. However, the main thrust is more about nostalgia and friendships.    Can we do links? Childrenoftheneonbamboo.com Children of the Neon Bamboo: B.

    • Davince Resolve is a great place to start. 
    • I see that this thread is from three years ago, and I hope your journey with Muay Thai and mental health has evolved positively during this time. It's fascinating to revisit these discussions and reflect on how our understanding of such topics can grow. The connection between training and mental health is intricate, as you've pointed out. Finding the right balance between pushing yourself and self-care is a continuous learning process. If you've been exploring various avenues for managing mood-related issues over these years, you might want to revisit the topic of mental health resources. One such resource is The UK Medical Cannabis Card, which can provide insights into alternative treatments.
    • Phetjeeja fought Anissa Meksen for a ONE FC interim atomweight kickboxing title 12/22/2023. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu92S6-V5y0&ab_channel=ONEChampionship Fight starts at 45:08 Phetjeeja won on points. Not being able to clinch really handicapped her. I was afraid the ref was going to start deducting points for clinch fouls.   
    • Earlier this year I wrote a couple of sociology essays that dealt directly with Muay Thai, drawing on Sylvie's journalism and discussions on the podcast to do so. I thought I'd put them up here in case they were of any interest, rather than locking them away with the intention to perfectly rewrite them 'some day'. There's not really many novel insights of my own, rather it's more just pulling together existing literature with some of the von Duuglus-Ittu's work, which I think is criminally underutilised in academic discussions of MT. The first, 'Some meanings of muay' was written for an ideology/sosciology of knowledge paper, and is an overly long, somewhat grindy attempt to give a combined historical, institutional, and situated study of major cultural meanings of Muay Thai as a form of strength. The second paper, 'the fighter's heart' was written for a qualitative analysis course, and makes extensive use of interviews and podcast discussions to talk about some ways in which the gendered/sexed body is described/deployed within Muay Thai. There's plenty of issues with both, and they're not what I'd write today, and I'm learning to realise that's fine! some meanings of muay.docx The fighter's heart.docx
