The Best Muay Thai Boxers are in Pattaya
Pattaya, Thailand, isn’t just a place to party at night or hit the beautiful beaches by day, it’s also a destination for serious Muay Thai and Thai boxing professionals and amatuers a like to train and improve upon their skills. Thai boxing and Muay Thai is the cultural martial arts of Thailand, dating back centuries and was basically developed as a form of close-combat in which one uses their entire body as a weapon. The hands become daggers and swords; the forearms and shins, during training, harden to become armor against blows; elbows act like a heavy mace or hammer; and the knees and legs become staffs or axes. Through training, Thai boxing and Muay Thai techniques and tactics are honed to a razors edge.
Muay Thai and Thai boxing tourists come to stay at any of the Pattaya hotels and attend the Pattaya Kombat Village (PKV) training camp , where they can hone in on an already established skill or get expert lessons designed specifically for beginners. PKV has equipment consisting of an MMA Cage, 3 boxing rings, a modern gym, a punching bag area, body building section, a sauna, restaurant and bar. Men, women and children (8 years and older) are welcome.
Each person will receive personal training by an experience staff member or teacher, many of who are Muay Thai Boxing champions and MMA Champions. The training camp offers experienced dietitians that will work with any trainee in order to reach their best physical form that will optimize the energy necessary for the intense training. PKV also offers a Muay Thai Boxing Camp package that includes the use of the entire facility, a trainer and a sports dietitian, the massage area, and wireless Internet. No one just enters a training camp and just becomes a fighter; to become a Muay Thai fighter, respect must be paid to a Muay Thai teacher and respect and honor must be paid tothe gym where there will be training. Muay Thai is a way of life and a respected tradition in Thailand. A Muay Thai teacher may request that their student perform the Yok Kroo, an initiation process that can vary from each teacher. Basically fighers in training can expect to give some form of offering, like a kata (white silk or linen cloth), incense, flowers or even meditation time.
