Welcome to PAK MMA Blog
Lamai Muay Thai on Monday, SuperPro on Tuesday and on Wednesday I headed to Pinyo Gym, also by Lamai Beach. I will tell you upfront that this ended up being my favorite gym during my time on Koh Samui. Great training and a great atmosphere. When I went into the gym I immediately felt the same type of acceptance and camaraderie that I felt going to True Bee gym. In fact Pinyo gym touts the…

Super Pro Samui is where I originally planned on doing all my training for the week that I was going to stay on Koh Samui. However, those plans changed when I found out that the MMA instructor was going to be gone for a couple weeks and that MMA classes were to be student led and only on Tuesday and Thursdays. Couple that in with the fact that Super Pro has the most expensive per…

So my first day on Koh Samui I decided to check out the WMC camp. The actual name of the place is Lamai Muay Thai though, they are just affiliated with the WMC. This place has been on my mind since it is affiliated with the World Muay Thai Council (WMC) which quite frankly is the only Muay Thai council that matters. For more information on Muay Thai “Federations” check out this post here which…

So this is a bit of an odd post for me. Writing it isn’t odd, actually the experience behind it is. Not so much odd as it is surreal. If you look at my old posts you will see that I spent A LOT of time at True Bee Gym in Pai Thailand. In fact I spent a total of 8 months there out of a one year span. Broken up my a 4 month…

Well, Chai Yai Gym you can see is where True Bee Gym was sprung from and where the trainers from True Bee returned too when True Bee Gym was closed. Chai Yai Gym sits in…

So, for the past couple days I have been in Sihanoukville on the southern coast of Cambodia. I thought I would spend a few days here to relax before heading back to Thailand for some more training but I think I may be here just a few days longer. The place is very laid back and there aren’t too many people around as it is low season. I, of course did a search before entering…

So now I am in Phnom Penh on to the next leg of my journey. I got here this morning after spending a day checking out the ruins of the ancient city Angkor Wat. After checking into my hotel and having some lunch I headed to Paddy’s Fight Club and Boxing Gym. For those of you who have not heard of Paddy Carson here is a quick bio. Paddy hails from South Africa but has…

So finally, I am getting some time to sit down at a proper keyboard and wrote about some of my training so far. I have arrived in Cambodia via Ubon Rachathani where I trained at one of the top MMA gyms in South East Asia – Legacy Gym. Legacy Gym though small and not the most fancy gym in Thailand is most definitely a legit fighters gym. All the guys there were within the same…

Mixed Martial Arts Pakistan got a chance to visit Jalil’s Martial Arts Academy in Gujar Khan. Ironically Gujar Khan is where Pakistani MMA fighter Shah “No Pain” Hussain hails from. Gujar Khan is also probably the first location MMA Pakistan has done a report on that is not located in a major cosmopolitan city. Jalil’s Martial Arts Academy teaches a combination of disciplines but is currently focusing on a style that Master Jalil has made…
