MUAY THAI TRAINING IN THAILAND (AS A BEGINNER)

[@Youknowthebo]

Thanks for the video. I have been training Muay Thai for over two years and I will be going for the first time to a Thai camp. I plan to train every day. Really looking forward to it. Keep up the great work on these videos

[@josh.onthemove]

Training Muay Thai in Thailand is such a great experience, especially if you’re already training it. Thanks for the comment and you’re going to love the camp bro!

[@Youknowthebo]

@@josh.onthemove thanks, mate. Are you still in Thailand? And do you happen to have experience with esim by any chance? I am looking to get an esim, but im not sure of a provider tbh

[@josh.onthemove]

I’ve always bought a sim from a provider in Thailand and then used that, better packages and value in my experience. You can convert your current sim from home to an ESIM on your phone and keep both numbers active 👍🏻

[@Youknowthebo]

@@josh.onthemove makes sense. Thanks for the reply. I will consider it

[@americaninchina4853]

Hey buddy, Very good effort here. I'm not a Muay Thai guy but you kept me interested throughout. I wonder if a series is in order here taking us though a lesson or lessons. Explaining basic techniques/kicks/punches. Showing us the different aspects of training in Muay Thai. All the best. Glad to see you got out of Phuket.

[@josh.onthemove]

Thanks mate, planning on just being the one off video but if it’s helpful and an expert could help then I’d fire some more out 🙌🏻

[@CovCitySkyBlue]

Thank you for this video, I am going to be heading out in April and had no idea what to expect. This has really helped 👍

[@josh.onthemove]

Thanks mate, that’s exactly what I hoped this video would do 👍

[@colinlaing8576]

Great video. I have trained muay thai for years and just came back from training in Thailand. This video works on all levels of ability, a lot of great advice 🙏🏽

[@josh.onthemove]

@@colinlaing8576 thanks Colin, appreciate the comment, hope you had a good trip 👊🏻

[@Moe.Moments]

Thank for this info I was just thinking to try Muay Thai for the First Time in koh Samui Next year. This Video helped me a lot 🙏🏼

[@josh.onthemove]

Glad it was helpful!👊🏻

[@michaelkelly2708]

Yes i hope to visit Thailand soon ❤

[@josh.onthemove]

🙌🏻

[@lyfechoyces]

Great vid, thanks for the info!!! content was perfect, I watched full video and you had my attention the entire time! looking forward to checking out some gyms on my upcoming trip to Koh Samui

[@josh.onthemove]

Thanks for the comment. Hope it helps on your trip 👊🏻

[@omaralkarnos4488]

Thanks that’s really helpful. I am new to muya Thai so this was really helpful to me

[@josh.onthemove]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stevemoore4286]

7:30 Completely agree to go smaller gyms you wont get any attention at big commercial gyms like Tiger, Fairtex unless your a big name fighter in a promotion or up and comer

[@josh.onthemove]

That’s been mine and most people’s I’ve spoken to also, thanks for the comment 👍

[@omaralkarnos4488]

Can you give same gym examples to search more about.?

[@vdeadlygrxxnz3510]

@@omaralkarnos4488also looking for some gyms that are smaller

[@michaelkelly2708]

Hi Josh i just found you today and subscribed and love your Thailand videos I've been a few times but not for year's,❤😊

[@josh.onthemove]

Thanks Michael! Defo my favourite country!

[@danielplatt6638]

Some great advice as always!

[@josh.onthemove]

Thanks brother!

[@megatron3210]

very helpful

[@josh.onthemove]

@@megatron3210 glad it was 👊🏻

[@karenanon9156]

Do they do classes for women? Very interested in taking up a class when I visit. Are you able to show any moves? Very informative, thank you 👏

[@josh.onthemove]

Thanks! Some gyms do offer it but quite often you’ll get paired up with people of similar abilities and practice with the same intensity as each other. Otherwise private 1:1 sessions are a good option :)

[@ashgmann]

Great advice mate! Let’s train a bit next time we’re in the same country 👊

[@josh.onthemove]

Thanks mate, look forward to it!

[@Arty-h4c]

Really useful video thank you! If I didn’t want to spar would they just let use the bag to practice on??

[@josh.onthemove]

Yeah they’ll never force you to spar and if they didn’t think you were ready they would tell you that. Otherwise using the bag would defo be fine

[@kaim8245]

Thx Josh !! Useful information, thumbs up!!

[@josh.onthemove]

Thanks!!

[@yzm2065]

This is really great perspective for someone who is thinking of doing something similar. Could you share some insights on what you evaluate and how you evaluate a gym for your needs. What do you consider, and how would you recommend others to evaluate a gym for their goals?

[@josh.onthemove]

@@yzm2065 thanks for the comment! I’d consider the things I mentioned in the video and the most important things for me are feeling comfortable in the gym, it wasn’t a tourist trap, and that it’s catered for all levels, not just pros 👊🏻

[@honderdpunten1]

What you think of hopping through those islands near koh samui. Is the level the same at these islands koh tao for example

[@josh.onthemove]

Good question, I've heard Koh Phangnan has a good few gyms, Koh Tao I'm not so sure. Sorry I can't be more help

[@stewartheather5654]

Ants in pants josh 😂 good informative video great advice .I piece of advice dont turn up to a gym with a big ego even if you are good at muay thai in your own country or boxing you will put a target on your back .

[@josh.onthemove]

Haha they were! Yes, in my experience there’s no place for big egos in Thailand/ Muay Thai 👍

[@RestLess-MinD]

So freaking envy of it

[@josh.onthemove]

I’m not there right now, I miss it too!

[@zulasminnoor9902]

I've got a tip for your feet. Try spraying hair spray on the soles of your feet before you train. Tell me how it went.

[@josh.onthemove]

I’ll try it? Thanks!

[@Learningandgrowing4]

@@josh.onthemovedid you try it?

[@thomaswoo5225]

Bro could you do a video about your lifting/training split?

[@josh.onthemove]

I’ll try to in the future!

[@Black-Circle]

any good gyms for grappling?

[@josh.onthemove]

In Phuket there’s plenty, I’m sure there’s a few in Samui but I’ve not been nor looked into it sorry 👍

[@g2c808]

Hi mate I’m off to Thailand to train soon what was king of Muay Thai gym like

[@josh.onthemove]

I like KOMT a lot, it’s not as high standard as some of the Phuket or Samui gyms for sure but I’m not an elite fighter, just trying to improve so it’s great for me

[@cryptok9185]

Mate are you around Thailand in January? Am from the uk living in aus , seem very like minded

[@josh.onthemove]

I’m in the UK currently (unfortunately lol)

[@wuernest1]

Which Training center is this ? Which City?

[@josh.onthemove]

The video had multiple gyms in, southside MMA in phuket. YodYut in Koh samui. These were the two main gyms in the video 👍

[@EddyAbols]

Hey buddy where in KohSamui I can buy these electrolytes ?

[@josh.onthemove]

Any 7/11 store will be your go to for Royal D electrolytes. If you want more sports/ health based ones, a supplement store or pharmacy is your best bet.

[@Black-Circle]

14:45 YOKED!!! damn

[@josh.onthemove]

Haha I legit was, stiff as a board though 🤣

[@BrianTheDragonLee]

Beautiful scenery beautiful country beautiful people 💓 would love for y'all to come see my wrestling match..

[@stevenm7692]

Good ole brick top...

[@LingKhaw]

You must normally wear socks and shoes... Go barefoot if you are going to training you need thicker skin to pivot on mats and even wooden floors... Have fun training Dude.

[@josh.onthemove]

Thanks for the comment and advice!

[@Black-Circle]

is koi samui better than phuket?

[@josh.onthemove]

I’ve got another video on this, it’s really down to preference but they’re very comparable. If you’ve got the time, check both out to see what you prefer 👍

[@Black-Circle]

@@josh.onthemove thanks mate. will check it out!
