Muay Thai Kai Singthong
I don't know much about this club. |
I checked it out a few weeks ago. I have to say it is one of the best Muay Thai gyms in Van. The head trainer is from Thailand. He was a local title holder there. They have Wes Jaya who is also a champ I believe...recently beat some guy from Toronto I think....?
Of course a gym in Hastings doesn't sound too pleasant right? You'd imagine a run-down little gym ...all torn up. Well that's exactly what it was like. The training was great though. In my opinion, the gym sorta had a Rocky-Esque feeling to it. Cracked Concrete and the stentch of sweat....THey have a ring there, but unfortunately they were renovating it. They had around, 8 heavy bags, some thai pads and other gear. The head Kru Singthong was currently in Thailand and will not return until the 2nd of may. You guys should definately check this gym out. It's all pure muay thai and they train really hard.
When I was there, I was put in the beginners class (duh).. they taught me basics. Various ways to check kicks, punches (Jab, Hook, Uppercut), and I got the chance to clinch and learn some neat tricks. Also a lot of reps on the heavy bag doing Knees.
PM me if you want to know the prices.
...i plan on going there when the Head instructor comes back from Thailand
