Muay Thai Gyms in Thailand arent influenced by UFC and K1 because they arent exposed to it. The Thais know a few of the K1 stars but thats about it.
The know Buakaw in K1 max and the Thai guys like Kaokai in the K1 and maybe read in Muay Siam newspaper when they fight.
The guys are loose huge amounts of weight each fight so big weight programmes are much good to them. Most gyms have chin up bars, a few dumbells, barbells maybe and maybe an old multi gym. Usually after training in the evenings they may spand 30 minute doing weights.
