behind me is punch it it is one of
thailand's best muay thai training camps this place is equipped with multiple choices of
accommodation depending on your budget and across the street from the accommodations is the gym
itself which is incredible i'll show you around in this video i'll show you the accommodations
i'll also take you on one of our training sessions we've just finished the warm-up which is
a four or five kilometer run around the beautiful neighborhood of the lamai here on ko samui anyway
they're doing sit-ups without me so i better go okay so after our run on the beach and warm
up it was time for stretching and to be honest straight into the training session so they
actually have a plasma screen connected to an ipad over on the wall and it's counting
down each individual phase by the second by the minute so after the run after the neck
and the skipping we're gonna do stretching okay after that after stretching we have
uh wraps now if you don't know how to put boxing wraps on don't worry the guys will put
them on for you and if you do know how to put them on yourself then that's great saves you a
little bit of time and i don't know what's next so actually let's go find out what's next
shadow boxing there you go shadow boxing okay next up is gloves on one person one bag
just one minute just one minute one minute we do one more round only punch up so yes as you can see i and a few of the other
people training today are by no means any good at muay thai or boxing so don't be put off or
intimidated by your abilities because coming here they accept all types of levels of experience
to complete novices we've never tried it to people who are very versed in martial arts
muay thai boxing and who are looking to top up their training keep active keep training for
a fight or potentially training for a fight you're surrounded by people at multiple
different levels and that just helps you with your confidence and also picking up better
skills no we're not going to go play football these aren't shin pads these are guards for your
legs because we're going to be doing some sparring head and then body okay so we're doing sparring with the trainers who
are basically professionals muay thais and it is incredible yeah i throw a jab and they just do
that and then they smack you in the face back not hard we're only going like not even half percent
but it's enough to wake you up it's enough to give you a win and teach you a lesson two
rounds got one more to go wish me luck can we get some samba music some jennifer
lopez come on we've got to get some sambar uh this is good fun but god damn it that's the end of my sentence oh right so the boxing training has finished there
is another session happening right now there's a fly in the lens a bunch of guys just turned
up and they're gonna do another session the poor trainers just trained us for two hours
now they've got to another two hours and they do another one in the mornings anyway
this is the um accommodation check it out so as we speak they're all um in use there are
people here that have come from abroad they actually have a wide selection of accommodations
you can choose from on their website this is the nearest and probably most expensive it's like
your own little villa and they look they're fully air-conditioned fully furnished and you can see
some footage here of this particular accommodation plus the other ones that are available they're
on different budgets depending on what you want and what you can spend but they're all walking
distance within the gym so you don't have to worry you can run here walk here they do have punch it
motorcycles i've seen so maybe they'll organize you a scooter to rent so you can get around the
island they also might even rent out cars but i'm sure you can organize it yourself but they might
help you organize transportation anyway it's kind of somewhere that you come to just get in the zone
to focus on training to focus on mental health and physical health weight loss whatever you actually
want from the muay thai training experience some of you might be thinking yeah i want to
go over there and tone up my training ready and prepare for a fight others like me when i inquired
to come here last december it was just to do a two-week weight loss training you know wake up in
the morning have breakfast do two hours chill out during the day go to the beach have a swim have
a banana milkshake and then come to another two hours around sunset run around the village do
two hours of muay thai lose lots of weight make loads of friends and feel amazing so this is the
accommodation availability let's go back in the gym and show you more of the gym because we were a
little bit so occupied during the training session so the whole gym is in la mai i'll show you
the back of the gym because it's incredible okay so i'm going to talk over
the copyright music so don't don't don't quote me youtube please come here so this
is the gym as you can see it looks pretty uh legit it's got massive tyres lots of proper weights
and uh pretty pretty built for muscle tone and obviously you're getting all your cardio you
need in the training and then have a look at this so this is the outdoor gym they actually built
this because when they are fully open when the island is packed and tourists are here and they're
fully booked they have a lot of children training and they just said it was getting a little bit
complicated having children and adults training together so they built this section out here to
put the kids in but now they kind of use it as like a fun little sparring mini arena when you're
training you might want to get in at the end of the session and spa one of the trainers to just
really tone up your skills and it's really cool like they've got the lights on the palm trees
and um it is a little bit wet because it's just been raining but we're going to be having
a barbecue because one of the trainers our birthday is tonight so um after maybe after the
barbecue we'll have a little spa and a little uh we'll have a little go but uh it's awesome man and
then there's one cool thing behind as well this is the toilet sort of washroom and i haven't been in
here yet let's have a look so in here we've got yeah just toilets and showers with soaps have a
look in here look it's a bit dark but you can have a shower here if you don't want to go back to the
house covered in sweat and then i've got more gym equipment here they've got everything they think
of everything here the guy who runs this place is from switzerland and uh he's really cool and
you can see like it's super organized very swiss and uh they did have a tree but it blew down
in the storm so they put a plastic one in now but what's really cool is there's actually a
bird of like an aviary a mini avery of bird nests that have come in they're actually using it
so you've got like nature and obviously it's kind of open plan right you've got the wind and
the rain coming through when it is raining and they got the breeze and obviously when we were
training today we had the sun in our eyes as the sun was going down incredible right you're on a
tropical island in thailand training muay thai with professionals like the people we were
sparring with the people we were training with they are fully legit professional muay thai
fighters who when covert isn't around are in bangkok professionally fighting for a lot
of money and here they are helping us jabbing us in the face teaching us a lesson so that's
pretty much the the gym and the accommodations and that was an example of the training session
i hope you've enjoyed it we're going to actually just finish the video in a minute i want
