    Sitsongpeenong (Phuket), Rattachai or Sinbi?

The location is great at the nicer beaches of the island ( comes with an extra cost ) check out...

    reyes training gloves

    My 14oz cletos that weigh over 1lb were bought in the main Cleto store / factory in Mexico City . The 12oz cletos that weigh 14oz come from the Cleto Reyes USA store in San Diego CA .

    Cleto vs Winning Sparring 16oz Gloves

    I have 12oz and 14oz Velcro Cletos - they call them training gloves . The 14oz pocket is very large which is good if you have knuckle padding or so . They take a while to break in ( like 4 months ) quality is very very good and will perform perfect . The 12oz are much smaller and kind of tight...

    Better progression - more decorated coaches or more private lessons?

    I’m sure Tim / sitsongpeenong can give you a better deal for a package in privates (fight camp) . Tell them you need to prepare for a fight , that makes the whole difference in training for them than just a one on one . Lots of people just take privates to learn basics without a program but...

    Best Mini Thai Pads?

    Here’s my thoughts : Those ring to cage are stiff/hard for a very very long time , I’m a hard kicker and don’t like them or any I work with even the 200lbs guys Compact is good for not strong kicks but once power is developed then the protection is compromised for the pad holder . Forearm...

    Training in Thailand

    Don’t stress for cardio .. working out 5 to 6 hrs a day 6 days a week will give you more endurance than anything you have ever done in America . Can’t even compare . The technical training is also far superior and I’d say 99.9 % of the camps will have better Muay Thai than here so you can’t go...

    Whats so bad about training at a "tourist gym"?

    Well non tourist camps might not speak any english at all , so you better start polishing you Thai before flying there. It reminded me of that movie Kill Bill and the kung fu trainer Pai mei that told the girl who couldn't speak Cantonese " ill just treat you like a dog and point and if you...

    Review of Training Muay Thai @ Sitsongpeenong Phuket

    Ok here is the Trick : Download the App GRAB in your iphone and use it for transportation , Its like uber maybe better . Taxis will always try to over charge and then you have to haggle them . I don't have the patience for that so I rather pay a little over the haggle down price but don't deal...
