Training at the Yokkao Training Center in Bangkok

    When I tell people I have trained at this gym or that gym they always ask how was the training and what is different from training here in the states . So I will do posts on the places I have trained , less of a review and more just my experiance. So let’s get this started with the Yokkao Training Center Bangkok . This is the home of many Muay Thai champions and also the living Legend Saenchai . 

     I absolutely love training here . The gym is small and easy to access in downtown Bangkok. A fully stocked pro shop and clean training area .  When you walk up the gym is behind a white wall and most times you will hear the smashing of pads on the way up the street . Walking onto a small astroturf area you notice that the gym is made up of one ring a small weight area and a mat area with mirrors . What else do you need ??  I have never seen the place packed , that is because they do schedual a certain amount of people for the classes . This gives great attention to you in your training from the Kru . 

     The staff is friendly and at any time you can walk in and see Saenchai , Singdam , Manachai or many other world champion Muay Thai fighters training and doing privates . These are Lumpinee champions and they train alongside with you . The vibe in this gym is one of the most upbeat and friendly places I have trained . There are always people laughing and joking with each other . This makes the training as intense as it is very enjoyable .  

    I normally do a private when I come to The training center . I like to do this so can I learn the fighters style . Most Nak Muay have a personalized style of fighting and this is a great place to get up close and personal with these champions. Who else would you want to show you the famous cartwheel kick than Saenchai himself , and he will be happy to show you ! 

    The place is run very professional . You schedule your training , show up and train .  Your getting world class training in an amazing environment . It really can not get much better than this. Like most gyms in Thailand it is an open air gym . I have trained here in December and July and it’s always hot . Plenty of water will be your friend . So hit them up and get in to train with this amazing group in the heart of Bangkok .
