Fitness Training
For the people that come to Rawai Muay Thai Camp for fitness training, cycling & running on the coastal road between Rawai beach & Kata beach is an unforgettable experience.
The coastal road has some beautiful ocean views & you always get to see elephants grazing when you are running on the coastal road.
Running & cycling in the High Humidity of the Tropics is a great way to push your fitness to the MAX & an experience that will stay with you for ever.

For the complete beginner to Muay Thai Boxing
We can teach you correct technique & have your Muay Thai boxing skills up to speed and looking like a good fighter in less than 8 weeks of training @ Rawai Muay Thai Camp.

For the experienced Muay Thai Boxer
We can clean up your technique, improve your power and speed, if you are considering competing in a fight then coming to Thailand for pre fight training will improve performance, fitness, stamina, technique and your over all chances of winning the fight in good style.

MMA fighters
Training in Thailand with our experienced Muay Thai fighters is the fastest way to improve your striking & stand up fighting skills, Grappling & Clinching is a big part of Muay Thai Boxing so you will get to learn some new tricks to incorporate into your stand up fighting skills.

Their are always other MMA students training in the gym, most of our MMA students & Muay Thai fighters love to mix it up with some MMA & Muay Thai Boxing mixed training sessions.
For MMA students to learn stand up fighting skills from our Muay Thai Fighters, in less than a month Striking will be your strength rather than a weakness.

Training 6 hours a day is not as hard as it sounds.
You run for 30 - 60 minutes in the mornings, then you do an hour of one-on-one training in the gym with your personal trainer, 30 minutes of post training stretching and you have already completed 2 - 3 hours of training.

@ 4 PM you are back in the gym for another 2 hours of kicking & punching pads with your personal trainer.
Weight training, stretching, Yoga, kicking on the heavy bags, swimming, skipping or go for another run.

If you are living at the gym bungalows you get to exercise when ever you desire.
Many of our students do a third training session (low Cardio work out) between 10 pm - 11pm (weight training, stretching & shadow boxing)

In the first week most new Muay Thai students usually can only do 2 - 3 hours of training a day.
By the second week their fitness levels & stamina has improved and 4 hours of training a day becomes easier to achieve. By the 3rd week most people can train 5+ hours a day.

The ideal length of time to be training Muay Thai in Thailand is 1 - 3 months.
The first 3 weeks you are building on your fitness, stamina & technique.
In the second month your fitness is up to speed and looking like a Pro fighter, your loss of body fat is noticeable and you are mentally on an extreme high.

At the end of your 3rd month your fitness is peaking and you will be keen to go home to impress your friends & family with your fitness level & Muay Thai boxing technique.

When you return home to your usual training gym, you then realize how much you have improved in fitness and Muay Thai boxing technique.
Most students return to Rawai Muay Thai Camp within a year of their first visit.

Oxygen Therapy

Oxygen Therapy is available @ the Gym to speed up recovery between work outs... What is oxygen Therapy ?
The composition of the air we breathe is 75% nitrogen (n2), 21% oxygen (o2), and 4% of other gases such as carbon monoxide (co2.)

Oxygen Therapy increases the amount pure oxygen you breathe to 85 - 95%.
Oxygen Therapy provides a concentrated volume of oxygen to your blood allowing your body to repair damaged muscle tissue & recover form intense training & muscle fatigue much quicker.

Oxygen Therapy is a trend that started in the late 1990s.
Patrons inhale 80-95% filteredoxygen for 10 to 30 minutes before or after intense training sessions.
The oxygen is quickly absorbed into the blood & a feeling of well being, increased energy, strength & stamina can be felt with in minutes of inhaling the concentrated volume of Oxygen (o2).

It is like putting high performance racing fuel into a your family car, your body is fueled with high % of concentrated oxygen to help your muscles recover quicker & sustain longer & more intense work outs.
Oxygen therapy can be done before, during and/or after exercise, Oxygen Therapy is recommended for days when you are feeling fatigued, tired & run down.

Pro Athletes use Oxygen Therapy to reduce lactose acid in their muscles.
Lactose acid is caused from from lack our oxygen supplied to your muscles during intense training sessions & from over training, lactose acid is the Burn you feel in your muscles when you are pushing heavy loads on your muscles.
If lactose acid not removed your muscles will fatigue much quicker & reduce your energy levels and stamina rapidly.
Oxygen supplied to your muscles will help reduce the lactose acid build up in your muscles & allow you to suatain & perform on a much higher level.
