Authentic Muay Thai Training Camp in Thailand: Sitjaopho Gym | The Beautiful Mind of a Champion

Learn from Legends: http://www.legendarystriking.com

High level Muay Thai champions - you’ve seen their brutalizing work in the ring, in highlight reels, and on Instagram. Do you wonder what made them who they are, and what they are like in person?

This documentary brings us to Sitjaopho Gym, a family-run gym in the countryside of Hua Hin owned by the decorated Sitjaopho twins, once stadium champions in Thailand.

Hua Hin doesn’t have a big stadium, and is not particularly known for producing fighters. But this pair of fighter-twins with an incredibly aesthetic style went on to claim belts from Lumpinee stadium. One half of the twins Phet-tho now teaches at the gym, while his brother Phet-eak lives in Sweden.

This feature showcases the training style, fighting philosophy, and guiding principles of the gym. Humble, unassuming, and thoughtful, it is an insightful and refreshing look of an ex-fighter who’d spent half his life fighting professionally.

This is a guest contribution by Angie, a Muay Thai student and (occasional) fighter based in SG. If you like this documentary style of visual and text observations of life in Muay Thai, give her a follow on IG @angiewon9 for similar content.
