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
