I'm finding following the gyms on Facebook helps you get a feel for a gym and it's balance of hardcore vs farang friendly. Some post vids of training etc which is good. Also read the reviews posted via Facebook too. There is no one perfect gym as everyone is after different things.

When I first started looking I thought fa group for clinch. But looking at vids they posts it looks small they have too many trainers doing pad in ring at one time and not enough bags. But the clinch focus would be great. I seriously considered keathamtorn as they apparently have a good clinch game.

It's what my trainer says. If you want a good non tourist gym go Bangkok. If you want more western style go to tourist spot such as phuket.

I have a pair for bags/pads currently 12oz but 10oz would be fine. I have a pair I keep for sparring 14oz, if your a big hitter go for 16oz. You don't want to be sparring with worn out gloves as they lose padding and it's disrespectful to your opponent.

There's heaps in Bangkok, I'm trying Kiatphontip next year it has accommodation, food, and training package. The one that has the bathroom as ensuite is 1300 baht per day (including training, food, accommodation) for stays more than 2 weeks. They have cheaper options with share bathrooms etc...

I was for awhile but after watching a few of their live streams I worry about it being crowded. But their location is great, close to train etc. Have you followed their Facebook to get a feel for the gym?

Don't think these forums are frequented much. Have you done some Google searches? I'm planning my return around what info I can find on the net. I went to Santai in Chiang Mai Jan 2018, they were one of the cheapest gyms and the food around that area is very good and very cheap. Santai was good...

FYI, police posted the response times etc: First 111 call 1:41pm, first armed responder at scene 1:47pm, armed defenders there within 10min. Guy was taken into custody within 36min of first 111 call. He had left first mosque before police arrived to get to the second where he only managed to...

The media in nz are great at warping facts and making them sound a certain way. Our prime minister is really good at saying lots of words without saying anything of actual meaning or committing to anything. She never directly said it will definitely happen, It's likely gun laws won't change or...

There are only 2 in chch both were attacked. Linwood is in a rough area which always has a police patrol nearby. Deans Ave is a mixed area overlooking our main park, not a high police presence unless there is an event on.

I've lived in christchurch all my life and would not expect this sort of thing. Even the gangs have spoken out against these killings. We like to think we are not racist on the whole in New Zealand but it's still there like in any country. Gun control is not as tight as it should be and has...

I can vouch for the give a little organisation, its been around for a long time and has helped many.

I live in Christchurch and this is the last thing you would expect here. We are a small country and christchurch is a small city so not alot of crazies. Our gun laws are tight, you can get a semi auto with the right licence but the police have records on all guns owned etc. Guns are for hunting...

I find seeing women fight inspiring... If I hadn't started so late in life I'd be inspired to try and get to their level. What I've seen on these forums is a bunch of guys more interested in posting pics of scantily clad women than talking about actual martial arts. So it's not surprising there...

At the moment the crisper and the bottom of my fridge is full of cucumbers... The plants are doing really well this year hopefully will get around to pickling them. They need to make those drawers bigger, whenever I pick broccoli or cabbage they never fit.

I don't take drugs but I've been on a natural high many times from life. Most high is close call between leaving my abusive prick of a husband and winning my first fight.

Don't the police do similar to suspected predators?

I had someone try "buy" me once after a couple dates because I was unable to make my mind up between him and another guy... He offered to take me overseas with him... Needless to say I went with the guy who didn't try to buy me. Chicks don't like to be bought or made to feel obligated to be with...

So you assumed it was a date, spent lots of money and assumed it would lead to more because you spent lots of money... Maybe next time just do coffee? Or better still do something either fun or doesn't cost anything? Being inventive will get more bonus points than waving money around any day.
