TIGER MUAY THAI TRAINING (REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS) | FITNESS STREET VLOGS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 бер 2019
- In this Tiger Muay Thai training vlog, Robyn and I talk about what you should expect if you are travelling here for the first time.
One of the first things I noticed when I arrived at Fitness street was how multi-cultural it is. You will meet people from all around the world, at different stages of their fitness journey, and all with the same desire to get into shape (or stay in shape!)
There is also a demographic of pro-fighters that are sponsored and work closely with some of the best trainers in the world.
In this video, I also include "throwback" interviews with people passing through Tiger Muay Thai (in August 2017) and their personal experience.
We also talk about the safety of solo female travellers and different accommodation options for short and long term stay.
If you have any questions or you intend on visiting this amazing paradise, let me know in the comments :-)

Haha....it's so enjoyable to watch both of you on videos. Always lots of laughter and fun...very positive and that forward-looking attitude and energy are infectious (in a very good way!) Looking to see you back on fitness street at Phuket, Thailand (on video) soon! Cheers!
Thanks Brian :) appreciate the kind words 👌
Thanks for another fitness street video. I hope be there in may.

Thanks alot. You planning on going?
Very helpful guys thanks for sharing : )
You're welcome ;)
Great video, thank you!
You're welcome! Have an awesome week!!
Thanks for all those informations guys! I'll go there training at tiger for 5 weeks on june for grappling/bjj class. Keep doing those videos you are awesome ;) (from france so sorry for my english)
So awesome!! Bjj classes there are great (from what the advanced guys tell me! I know nothing haha)... have always wanted to see France! Any suggestions in the country?
Tu continues à y aller ? Je veux y aller aussi si t’as des conseils
Love ur video! I am going to Phuket in oct very helpful info thank you!
Anytime! First time?
Brad Newton Vlogs yes first time! U know any good dive tour this is my favour sport!
there is a dive shop on Fitness street / Soi Taied. They could organise a day trip for you. Probably to the Similan islands.
Brad Newton Vlogs Awesome! Keep up good work Brad!
😃
I went there in 2016, amazing place, people and training.. wish I could live there.
Any plans to return there?
@@BradNewton I definitely will when I can get the cash together for sure.
Great vlog great work
Thanks Siam :-)
I really appreciate it!!
@@BradNewton please keep sharing your videos
I shall :-)
hey, love the videos you have posted about fight steet and it helped me figure out a few things. Thank you for tht :) . According to you , which is a better camp to train at between Tiger muay thai, Top team, and Dragon muay thai.
They all have their edges. Dragon is definitely quieter which I personally prefer. Tiger has a larger schedule of training to choose from (which is great for a beginner that doesn't know what they want to do or want to try everything!). With Tiger, you can jump on a 1 week all-inclusive to get a good taste of what is on offer. What is your main ambition?
So sick 🔥💪
Are you going there brother?
Next year June
Nice vid
Nice video!
Thanks man!! Hope it helped in some way :-)
A monster video that wasn't meant to be 30 mins!
You said there was no pilates on fitness street. Sounds like a perfect business opportunity for Robyn! You could both be based there and never have to leave fitness street ever again :)
We have actually discussed it!!
Great Video thanks! I am going sometime in February for 3 weeks and will train at TMT only, training MMA and MT. Can you give some advice on spots that are good enough for 3 weeks instead of "1 or 2 weeks"? :)
Spots in terms of accommodation?
Just gave this to another guy in the comments - hypothetical dates (Feb 3rd - 19th Feb, peak season, 16 nights). Found RA Residence (I saved my link here: bit.ly/37nLVnL) - costs $482 AUD (16 nights) and is perfectly located on Fitness street (near all the gyms, etc, that you've seen in the videos).
RA Residence is walking distance to TMT :-) Hope this helps!
Great video thanks, I'm interested in going next year. Have you ever been July-September time? Weather-wise did it affect your stay?
Yep, I have. Aug-Sept a few years ago and it's wet! (during the monsoon season in Phuket). However, the training doesn't change except you might walk back to your dorm in the rain a few times. The rain is quite warm so I actually didn't mind it (cool off from training!)
@@BradNewton Good to know, thanks for the update! Doing October 2021 now - fingers crossed.
Great content and thanks for sharing your experiences. May I know if August would be a good time to visit Phuket also on 15:15 when you guys were in Ali's BBQ was the weather always like that during your stay ?
No problems!! So our most recent trip was 3 weeks across Nov-Dec. It rained like that clip at Ali's probably 4-5 times, and mostly at night, and only for 10 minutes or so. It is definitely not a show stopper... actually, it is really nice after training to run under the rain because it is like a warm shower. I have also trained there in August and it does rain more often! Wake up raining, and sometimes for most of the day... but the training never stops.
@@BradNewton Thanks for the reply, well noted with many thanks. Respect
You're welcome :-)
Do you have to reserve and book for the trainingcamp or did you do that at the gym in Thailand? Does is matter? Amazing content and information!
I just organised everything when I arrived. Usually the day before starting the class. Glad you like the content!
Great video and informing. Do you have a list over the training camps that are on fitness street?
I haven't written them down but off the top of my head...
- tiger muay thai
- top team
- T&Y
- Chokchai
- Dragon
There are a number of others outside of the street. Then Unit 27 & Titan Fitness which are more fitness camps with no martial arts layer. S&C, functional training, and outdoor bootcamp style training (titan)
Hey mate, I became a fan of your TMT-videos - thanks for that ! Can you say something about which months you prefer for visit, for solo or with partner? Greetings from germany ✌️
Feb is the busiest time... most of those videos were filmed nov-dec last year, some around July-Aug. We are returning around oct-nov. To be honest, the training is the same no matter when you go. Might see you there. Love Germany. Spent a few months in Munich ;)
awesome content :)
do you buy the training when you arrive in Thailand, or is it cheaper to have purchased it in advance from home?
Is there a possibility that if you wait till you are there that it could be full/sold out?
I bought my gear in a Bangkok market with some Thai friends years ago (which is cheaper than Fitness street!!). I've been through the night markets in Chiang Mai and Bangkok's chatuchak market over the years and compared prices etc. I'd say for most people, you are best bringing your gear from home (unless you plan on heading to the markets and are good at bartering... then you'll get a good deal!!)
It won't be sold out at almost every training centre... Phuket Top Team cap their class numbers so it is worth booking in advance if you plan to train there.
I travelled from 2010 to 2017 like 10 times to thailand to train muay thai and always preffered the less touristic places. Sure it's a nice business for the gym to train all those tourists who are willing to pay a bunch of cash for it. I remember 2010 my first stay at Patong Beach Gym cost me 300USD for a week of training and accomodation, guess that would be a good deal. If you're interested to train among real fighter and no bs a side, try Singpatong in Patong/Phuket or any Gym with does not have a fancy logo and website. Don't get me wrong, those tourist gyms are neat and you can learn a lot, it's just a different experience to be the only foreign lad in the gym among thais... guess tha'ts hard to find theses days anyway... missing those days....
lol, purist cringe
@@Donkens totally 😂
Great video's mate. love 'em. Im a bit late to the party, but was wondering if you think that Tiger is better than AKA? Im stuck between deciding between the two. Im similar level to you so just want hard work but fun at the same time. Also, do the food stalls open early til late? and are the plenty of places to park the scooter without it being stolen?
You won't have to worry about scooter theft. My motorbike has had more attempted thefts in Melbourne than in Thailand! Have you been to Tiger before? I like both for different reasons. AKA is off the beaten path a little bit, smaller, but a "jungle" feel. Tiger is great because it is on Fitness street and also close to about a dozen other training gyms (almost all of them within walking distance). Some food stall are open till late. Unfortunately, AKA doesn't have the same type of healthy eating food stalls/restaurants that you'll find near Tiger. Check out the video I created on the 10 places to eat on Fitness street.
@@BradNewton Superb, thanks. Never been before, but always wanted to try. Ive got friends who've been and loved it, but family life gets in the way lol. Im an old man now (45) so wanna try before its too late. lol. Will be looking to go in Feb/March when life gets back to normal here in the UK. Keep up the great videos. My brothers were born in Melbourne so i plan to show my kids where my family lived in the 70's. Keep up the good work.
Going there in May and I have found your videos quite helpful, thanks a lot!!
I was wondering if there are any trainers you would recommend for privates in Chokchai and and Dragon Muay Thai? thanks again!
So awesome!! How long are you going for? Training at Tiger or trying different gyms?
At Dragon - I recommend Kru Charn. He trained Robyn in this private class vlog - ua-cam.com/video/CI-G4_5tLHk/v-deo.html
His training style is excellent :-) You'll see when you watch that video I've just linked.
@@BradNewton I'll be there for two months, I will be trying different gyms for Muay Thai Privates and probably sticking to PTT or TMT for MMA! Kru Charn looks like a cheerful person that's great! :) Are you going to be there around that time of the year May-July?
I'm definitely thinking about July or some time end of the year... I have to stay in Melbourne and get my pilot's licence stuff sorted out (been putting it off for a long time)
But definitely end of the year!
2 months is a decent amount of time. You will seriously have the best time!
DashHXQ Update us on how it goes!
Helped a lot, I’m going In September for 3 months. How far away is the beach from tiger?
About 20 mins or so on a scooter - that will take you to Patong beach... but I suggest Karon or some other beach that is not as touristy... You'll love it!! Training at Tiger?
Hey brad u really convinced me going and I wanna go from august till september but I am a little bit worried about the weather cause I would love some sun. Have you or anyone been in august/september and how was the weather? Cheers
I was there early August in 2017 and it rained!! Probably several times a week and quite consistently. But it's not cold and the training never stops... :-)
Might be a silly question, but with TMT what size gloves are they using?
I cannot recall... They'll have glove sizes for almost everyone. I haven't used their gloves in about 3 years or so. I do suggest bringing your own
Will your stay until cerebate songkran festivel on april 13 - 15? I love your both just want your both enjoy songkran festivel need to see your songkran vlogs have a wonderful time... Enjoy
I wish... In all of the times I've been to Thailand, I have always missed songkran!! where are you now?
Hey! I'm planning to go here for a month next August, I was looking at their packages online and saw you can pay to stay within TMT accommodation, I was wondering though if there are budget hostels within the area? if so I can spend the money I wold save on being able to train at TMT for longer..
Okay I commented this before the video ended never mind ehehe
Yep definitely... there are a few places. I think I included some details in this particular video... (across the road from TMT). There are others. Will be researching details of other long term accommodation places when we return in Oct and make a video.
😀
Hi Brad, Traveling to Phuket for the first time this month and will be staying at the Vijitt Resort for 7 days. What's the best transport option for daily Muay Thai camps at Tiger? Many thanks!
Are you comfortable on a scooter? They are the best choice :-) Cheap and easy...! How long are you going for?
@@BradNewton Yes, very comfortable on a scooter and only 8 days :( . My wife wants beach / resort and I'm wanting ease of access to Soi Taied. Cheers, Vann J
you'll love it!! Let me know how Insta how it all goes :-)
Is it also possible to do my own thing? As in work the heavy bag on my own after attending a class for example?
You certainly can :-)
Hello, just a question!
I go to phuket for the first time ever, i will be on a plane also first time, i added to booking airport pick up... how i will find the guy from tiger who picking me up?
Do you have his contact number on whatsapp? They will usually hold a sign up with your name on it
Thank you@@BradNewton. I booked 3 days ago but i go in october, they will remember to come for me? 😅
What website would you use to book this mate. Great vid 👍👍
I usually do everything in person. So for TMT, I just pay for 1 week or so in the office. All of the other places, I just show up and pay as I go. If you want, you can do it through the TMT website (book in advance).
@@BradNewton thanks mate
Anytime ;)
Hoping to come down post covid, how easy is it to get a fight down there?
Can be easily arranged. We will be back in 2021...
how much does it cost to rent the equipment?
Most smaller muay thai gyms don't charge anything. From Tiger, the gloves cost around 107 Baht per day.
I suggest buying your own if you are training for more than a week or so.
Does Tiger Muay Thai have group activities similar to a Hostel?
Hey Mario! They have the Big Buddha run and beach activities... is that what you mean? They also run a BBQ beatdown which is a big social event.
Brad Newton Vlogs I mean like guided group tours or excursions to Muay Thai fights in the city
I see.. Yeah what usually happens is guys will run around the group classes and hand out flyers to promote upcoming fights. Then you'll gather around a centre meeting spot and will car pool to the stadium, watch fights together etc. On fitness street, there are promotions for fights almost everyday somewhere.
Brad Newton Vlogs thanks!
Hey brad u have good videos how much would it cost for private one on one at tiger and how about that other gym where you were one on one a instructor didn’t speak much English cas I want him to train me something with a 9 in it. Lol
Privates cost 700 baht...
No Phuket top team?
They are apparently awesome but havent had a chance to personally train there (yet!)
What is the best hotel to stay on that street
Just depends really. For luxury, Robyn and I prefer Coco Retreat (same owner as Cocoville). For something cheaper (and still quite nice and VERY close) - Bora Bora. But I've also stayed at Lemonade (no review video) which is a bit of a walk but very nice!! I've also stayed at Cocoville and I loved it... especially the breakfast area (my favourite place to work on my laptop!). Which places are you looking at?
hii bro r u still in tiger muay Thai
hey man!! I wish :-) I am in Melbourne for at least the next few months!! are you there? training at Tiger?
no. I'm not in tiger muay Thai. I wanna come and train in there
you won't regret it :-)
keep me updated!
