Sessão de Treinamento no Ginásio Thaphae Muay Thai em Chiang Mai

If you're visiting Chiang Mai, you should definitely try a Muay Thai class! It's an incredibly novel and exhilarating experience! I booked a group class on Klook a day in advance, thinking that having more people would make it less awkward, but I still ended up making a fool of myself. The class started at 9 AM and finished at 10:30 AM, lasting a total of an hour and a half. For the first ten minutes or so, the head coach, Mark, led us through stretching, warm-ups, and jogging around the ring. The Thai coach spoke English, and everyone understood him, because I was the only Chinese person there, so my reactions were always a beat slower than everyone else's. But despite a few stumbles, I managed to get through the class smoothly. After the warm-up, the head coach started wrapping our hands with cloth strips. After he wrapped one hand, he asked me how it felt. I said it was too tight, so he loosened it for me. When he wrapped the other hand, I still felt it was too tight. He smiled helplessly and had to loosen that one too. I thought maybe these cloth strips, wrapped before Muay Thai, needed to be tight to protect the hands! But after the class, my hands were covered in marks, haha. It was a blessing that I didn't get injured. After wrapping, the head coach had us put on boxing gloves and started teaching us basic moves. After teaching each move, he would have us practice in pairs, repeatedly, until we mastered the basics. My training partner was the assistant coach, "Ice." I often made mistakes because I was too nervous, forgetting to guard with my right hand when punching with my left. At these times, he would tell me that if I didn't guard, someone would "bang" and hit me with a punch. Although the assistant coach also told me not to be nervous and just enjoy it, I always had that "good student" mindset, wanting to do my best, and then I'd get flustered again. In the end, I made the assistant coach laugh. He even started guarding when he should have been punching, and punching when he should have been guarding. Seeing how nervous I was, he even scared me by saying he was going to hit hard. I quickly waved my hands: "Nonono! You will hurt me! No!" Then he saw me frowning in fear, and he also burst out laughing. We couldn't continue training, both bent over laughing. This must be my ultimate combat move! To make my opponent laugh until they're exhausted, and then I win without fighting. After a 90-minute experience class, I was truly exhausted. My hands ached from being squeezed, and my feet hurt from kicking. Even though I was constantly hitting people, punching sandbags, and kicking tires, I was as sore as if I had been beaten. But it was so much fun and exhilarating! Life experience +1.

Although the gym was quite small, there were three trainers for our group of four participants. The training was intense, and it was a really good workout learning the basics of Muay Thai. It would be perfect if we could get into the ring and train.

The 90-minute group class was very interesting and fulfilling. The exercise intensity was quite high, so it might be a bit challenging for those without a fitness background. There wasn't a specific grouping by ability, but the coach did guide beginners through basic movements. They led warm-ups and regularly reminded everyone to rehydrate. There's a water dispenser on-site, so you can bring your own bottle or container to fill up. Remember to bring a towel and a clean set of clothes to change into.

It's very close to the hotel, and the environment feels clean. The staff are always helpful with any questions, and Coach Kwang is very meticulous in his teaching, adjusting the content based on individual conditions. I learned a lot of techniques in this Muay Thai class, it was a great experience! 👍

Great and wonderful Muay Thai gym! The training was intense yet enjoyable, and the coaches were very supportive and professional. The environment is motivating and welcoming. I truly enjoyed every session and would highly recommend this gym to anyone wanting to learn or improve Muay Thai.

The group class experience was great; it's even suitable for those who don't usually exercise. The coach tailors the instruction to individual needs and provides a lot of emotional support.

During our two-week trip to Chiang Mai, my 9-year-old daughter, my husband, and I took a Muay Thai group class in the second week. It was harder than I expected, but it was so much fun that I was incredibly satisfied, thinking, "If only I had done this sooner, I would have gone a few more times!" We chose this place because it was close to our accommodation, and the instructors were bright, friendly, and taught us in detail, so our whole family quickly got into it. My daughter especially enjoyed it so much that she said, "Let's come again!" I highly recommend it as a family experience! 🥊✨

It was my first Muay Thai lesson. I loved the teacher, Nock. He was so kind and patient! Besides teaching basic steps, he also taught the theory behind each posture. I love Muay Thai very much. I highly recommend it to others.
