My adventure here at 7 Muay Thai is at the end. These 4 months in a Muay Thai camp add another nice experience in my “inner luggage”. What I was looking for in October 2015, which took me here in Chak Pong, I can frankly say that I’ve found it: I could see how an…
During these months, I’ve seen a lot of people come and go. Generally, someone takes a break from work and from diary routine, and starts an adventure for a month, to learn true Muay Thai and enjoy exotic beaches. But someone else, is a permanent presence at 7 Muay Thai. Like in the case of this…
Here in Chak Pong, with some exceptions (like “Cucina Buonpane”, an excellent italian tavern), restaurants serve exclusively Thai food. Absolutely delicious, but full of ingredients not exactly suitable if you like staying in shape. Dishes abound of salt, sugar and MSG (a particular ingredient used to give more flavor to the food). Who practices a sport so complete and…
I already talked, some days ago, about problems I’ve faced kicking. Maybe because I’ve never throw “fight” kicks in 31 years, maybe because my muscles are not so loose, to make progress I had to dedicate very much time, patience, and….sweat. Yes, persisting in practice is THE key. But if I should explain to a…
Spending my days in the camp, I’ve realized that life in deep contact with Muay Thai is something like life with your partner in a relationship. Fidelity, reliability, commitment are repaid with good moments and satisfactions, that’s true…but like in every relationship, there are low times. We need to take a little bit of “air”, on…
It’s 5.40 am when the alarm (an old Nokia3310) starts ringing. A fast check to Whastapp and to Facebook to see if someone from the other side of the world contacted me (not often at all!), contact lens, sport clothes, and I leave my room. I sit down in the hall, searching energies in a squisite mango,…
7 Muay Thai Gym is placed in a very quiet area, in Rayong province, 10 km from Ban Phe, close to the beach. If in chaotic Bangkok or Phuket speaking English is quite common, in a rural area like where I’m staying it’s not so easy communicate if you don’t speak a little bit of thai language….
I’ve never loved waking up early in the morning. I used to consider waking up at 8.30 am ‘early’. But here at 7 Muay Thai, my day starts at 6 am…and at 6.15 I’m running already with other boxers! More: I’ve never loved practicing sport after waking up…still sleepy, with muscles not reactive. Well, first…
Hi everybody, my name is Michele, even though here in Thailand people call me just Mik. I am passionate about sports, just practice a little bit of western boxing in my life, and I love travelling and rock music. They commit me a blog in a web page of a gym which receive champions from all…
