Jason ‘The Warrior’ Woodham has been fighting out of Lamai Muay Thai for over a year now and tells you exactly why he chooses to train and fight in Thailand.
Oi! Oi! This is Jason ‘The Warrior’ Woodham a.k.a. The Handsome Hero and I’d like to tell you all about life at the Lamai Muay Thai camp, which also includes Lamai Fitness. I’ve been here for over a year now and I’ve loved every single minute of training and living in this beautiful country.
Becoming a Muay Thai Fighter in Thailand !
I wanted to learn Muay Thai in Thailand for a mere 3 months, but after coming out to Lamai and getting settled at the camp, I couldn’t bring myself to leave. When I told the guys at Lamai Muay Thai I wanted to fight professionally, they made it really easy to get setup and I had sponsorship in no time. As a professional fighter, I’ve had over 20 fights and not just in Samui. Lamai Muay Thai is really well-connected and I’ve had fights in mainland Thailand, Bangkok and all over the World.
Aside from travelling the World as a pro Muay Thai fighter, my technique and confidence in the ring has improved beyond all recognition, entirely thanks to the experience and knowledge of the trainers at Lamai Muay Thai. Each trainer offers his own unique insights on training and fighting and it is this that has helped me develop my own style of fighting based on a variety of different styles.
Its not just about Muay Thai training !
If you choose to learn Muay Thai in Thailand, make sure the camp offers gym facilities as well. Lamai Fitness is attached to Lamai Muay Thai camp and by combining work in the ring with gym workouts; I’ve been able to boost my strength and stamina enormously. Lamai Fitness has offered conditioning training under the instruction of my now good friend, Billy Orr. Billy is always on hand to help out with your training and to answer any questions you might have about dieting or conditioning your body for fighting
Koh Samui…a great place to learn Muay Thai !
I came out here to learn Muay Thai in Thailand and I have to say that I’m delighted with what I’ve found. I couldn’t be happier with Lamai Muay Thai and Lamai Fitness and I really wouldn’t change my training for anything else. Its great living and training on a beautiful island and when you finish your training, Green Mango in Chaweng is just 20 minutes away! Haha!
