Gap Year Thailand:

Muay Thai Training Camp [1-3 months]

Daily Schedule

Our tuition starts everyday, bright and early, with a run to get the blood flowing and open your lungs for a demanding day. The runs include short sprints both up/down hill to improve footwork and breathing control.

This is followed by a few minutes of shadow-boxing or skipping rope to again help with your footwork.

Back at the camp you’ll spend a bit of time doing some bag work- punching, kicking, kneeing and elbow strikes to further increase your stamina and strike force.

Now that you’re warmed up, you’ll go one-on-one with one of our trainers who’ll be in full pads (shin, stomach, hand) and you’ll get a chance to work more on technique, reaction time, stances, and get a much better idea of distances and range-finding.

You’ll do a number of 3-5 minute rounds with the trainers depending on your conditioning and then finish off the session with sit-ups to strengthen the core and shadow–boxing and stretching to prevent injury.

For those training for fights, further running and sparring will be incorporated into the schedule.

You’ll also be encouraged to do some weight training in our fully acquitted Monsoon Gym. One day a week will be an off day where you are encouraged to relax, recover, and enjoy the fantastic beaches of Koh Tao.

Muay Thai Boxing Special Events

At our own boxing stadium we stage fight nights usually twice a month with up to 8 fights each night. Our Muay Thai fighters not only come from the neighboring islands of Samui, and Phangan, but also from throughout the country, and we host MANY international fights.

To date, we’ve had guest fighters- both men and women- from Argentina, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Holland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and the Philippines.
