Typical training in a Muay Thai camp in Thailand. Notice the poor and squalid condition of the gym. The fighters are training barefoot on concrete floors and the bags and equipment are all quite old and worn out. You see some of the fighters as young as eight or nine years old training as well.
Despite the poor conditions, all the fighters train hard! It's their full time job and their way out of poverty. They train all day 6-7 days a week all year. Usually a typical day will consist of a morning session 6am to 10am then an afternoon session 4pm to 8pm. No wonder they're so good!
Watch out the the great kneework on the bag at about 1:54 mark. Awesome. There are five videos in this series. Be sure to watch them all. They're worth it to get an inside look and feel at how they train in Thailand.
