All the people saying this is borderline abuse clearly didn't train anything. It's training by punishment, if you let your guard down you get punched in the face just as in a real fight. You have to breathe out when hitting and kicking otherwise when you get counter-punched in the stomach it hurts. It's just as, if not more efficient than "normal" training, these people knew what they were signing up for

[@craigjw87]

Mandrag0ra it’s because most don’t understand the logic, they’re used to the Thai tourist camps where they learn the basics and throw a few kicks to the pads and clinch for a bit, not the physical and mental conditioning that comes with it.

Ow honey....is this what they used to tell you when you broke your face during training? I feel bad for you dude.

I was there, 3 Weeks. Very hard training, and in Thailand the Trainers have 2 differences : Nr 1) The Trainers/Padholders attack back!, very hard! U dont have that alot in western Muay Thai Training. Nr 2) If you lay on the floor, and u dont stand up, you get beat up EVEN MORE! Dont lay on the floor! Always stand up, no matter how much it hurts. U get beat MORE if u dont.

[@emceesupremejustice]

Ton they learned not to soccer kick people when they fall over

[@petercarlson811]

The follow up on a falling fighter is a well known and permitted practice in muay thai and continues until the referee breaks it. In thai it is referred to "water runs downhill". And it is a consequence of the mindset that the fight continues as long as the referee allows it. You'll see it being taught and practiced in clinch training and sparring.

[@TheMylittletony]

What an impressive improvement.

[@SodaIceberg]

complicated euphemism for fighting dirty lol

[@Ben-kp1dh]

lmao back then the training for the thais are harder than what you see here. Namsaknoi "the emperor" had his shoulder dislocated by his pad trainer when he was 14 or so. His teammate was sentenced to doing left kicks on a bag without sleep after losing a fight. Heard Khaosai galaxy trained incredibly hard. Wouldn't be surprised if the Galaxy brothers trained even harder than Namsaknoi. The galaxy brothers were considered hard working in an era where everyone was training borderline military style. The old lumpinee used to have a sign saying don't punish your fighters here. Back then they really were extremely extremely tough on their fighters. Nowadays, that treatment and training wouldn't really fly anywhere. What you see here is a toned down version of the training given to older thai fighters from a young age. Everyone here wants to be a professional top level fighter. If the training is easy, how would they see who to pick? There is only 32 hungry professional fighters fighting for a few sponsorship.
