点评:Muay Thai has been an integral part of my life for the better part of a decade, thus when the opportunity arose to spend 3 weeks training in Thailand, I wanted to make sure I picked a gym that would provide me with the instruction and facilities to push my skills to the next level. Yak Yai Muay Thai has exceeded these requirements in the best ways imaginable.
KC and Henry were incredibly welcoming, upfront in their expectations of both their Krus, as well as the mindset and conditioning required of the students in class.
Every day greeted us with creative but challenging conditioning, from running ladders, power knee sets against the bags, cardio circuits, the goal was to push but never get bored. We also never knew if we were going to start with clinching, padwork, or sparring, and there was never a dull moment in class.
The Krus were first-rate. Kru Big, Kwanchai, Jackie, Nu, Joo, and Boat watched our every movement on and off the pads, and very quickly I found the regimens and combos I was being asked to practice were adapting to target my weaknesses and bad habits while highlighting the more formidable of my existing skills to best compliment my fighting style. To my delight, my padwork rounds became increasingly more difficult and complex as each Kru were able to utilize their specialties and preferences to sharpen or test me. If you are serious about honing your skills, I definitely recommend reaching out to the gym for privates as well, as they will listen to what you want to work on, and then assign you a Kru that specializes in those areas to perfectly compliment your needs. As a bonus, since I was regularly training with them for weeks, the Krus who were assigned the private with me would actually pay specific attention to my movements during padwork and carry over their observations on what they wanted to work on into my private. To underscore, this is not the same experience I received from training and taking privates at other gyms prior.
The Facilities are clean, spacious, and, well-ventilated. KC and Henry make it a very clear point that we rinse off before clinching, and all gym equipment is meticulously cleaned and maintained after each use. This level of attention of detail is reflective of the love and respect every member of this gym puts towards both what they do and the art of Muay Thai.
Yak Yai was my home for three weeks, and what had started as a once in a lifetime experience had me quickly reconsidering if I wanted to return again in the future to take a fight under their banner. I already dearly miss KC and Henry, the Krus, and the gym. YAK YAI!
翻译:十年来,泰拳一直是我生活中不可或缺的一部分,因此,当有机会在泰国进行三周训练时,我想确保我选择的健身房能够为我提供指导和设施将我的技能提升到一个新的水平。 Yak Yai 泰拳以可以想象的最佳方式超出了这些要求。
KC 和 Henry 非常热情,提前表达了他们对 Krus 的期望,以及课堂上学生所需的心态和条件。
我们每天都面临着创造性但具有挑战性的训练,从跑梯子、靠在袋子上的动力膝套、有氧循环,目标是推动但永远不会感到无聊。我们也不知道我们是要从缠斗、垫练习还是对打开始,而且课堂上从来没有沉闷的时刻。
克鲁斯人是一流的。 Kru Big、Kwanchai、Jackie、Nu、Joo 和 Boat 观察了我们在垫上和垫下的每一个动作,很快我发现我被要求练习的养生法和组合正在适应我的弱点和坏习惯,同时突出了我的弱点和坏习惯。我现有的技能更加强大,可以最好地补充我的战斗风格。令我高兴的是,我的练习轮变得越来越困难和复杂,因为每个克鲁都能够利用他们的专长和偏好来磨练或测试我。如果您真的想磨练自己的技能,我绝对建议您也去私人健身房,因为他们会听取您想要锻炼的内容,然后为您分配专门从事这些领域的 Kru 来完美满足您的需求。作为奖励,由于我定期与他们一起训练数周,分配给我的私人教练的克鲁斯实际上会在垫子工作期间特别注意我的动作,并将他们对他们想要做的事情的观察结果带入我的私人教练中。需要强调的是,这与我之前在其他健身房训练和参加私人训练时获得的经历不同。
设施干净、宽敞、通风良好。 KC 和 Henry 非常明确地指出,我们在拧紧之前要冲洗干净,并且所有健身器材在每次使用后都会经过精心清洁和维护。这种对细节的关注反映了这家健身房的每个成员对他们所做的事情和泰拳艺术的热爱和尊重。
Yak Yai 是我三个星期的家,一生一次的经历让我很快重新考虑是否想在未来再次返回并在他们的旗帜下战斗。我已经非常想念 KC 和 Henry、Krus 和健身房了。呀呀!
