The life of a Muay Thai Fighter.

The Daily routine varies from Camp to Camp. The Sityodtong Boxing Camp is open only in the after noon ( 3:30 PM.) as many of the fighters are still students. The Nongkee Pahuyuth Thai Boxing (Muay Thai) School has the younger fighters run only and then go to school in the morning. The Pundit Mangphimai Camp has the younger fighters train in the afternoon.

The Sasiprapa Muay Thai Gym only has professional fighters so they train from 06:30 Am till 10:30 Am and then from 3:30 PM until 6:30 PM.

The fighters rise very early in the morning and start running at 06:30 Am. Upon finishing their run they start shadow boxing. After that they start dancing on rubber tires to develop their legs and condition their stamina. After that some start working on the body bags while others work sparring with trainers. Also some other fighters will be in the ring practicing wrestling. During this time the junior fighters clean the training area.

Everything is timed by a bell usually at five-minute intervals. They fight three-minute rounds but train five-minute rounds for conditioning. Some of the fighters are directed to work with weights, do sit-ups and pull-ups to develop their strength.

After the morning session the fighters shower, eat communally, wash clothes, some play guitar or watch TV.

In the afternoon the same routines is followed again but with greater intensity. The intensity is varied from day to day depending on the fighter's fight schedule and other factors.
After the acceptance of a fighter into a camp he becomes a member of the Manager's extended family and is given a fighting name.
