Muay Thai Training in Bangkok

Team Jukaado started the new year with a bang in its true sense. Four members of Jukaado left for Bangkok on 2^nd Jan 2012 to train with Kroo (teacher in Thai) Jitti and the other trainers at Jitti Gym for a week.

We reached Bangkok on 3^rd Jan 2012 and started training on the same day. The training is divided in 2 basic sessions the morning and the evening session.

The morning session would start with a jog from the gym through the Soi’s (inner roads) to Chatuchak Park where we would make a complete round and jog back to the gym. The approximate distance jogged is about 10km and a wonderful warm up too. After returning to the gym a bit of shadow boxing is followed with some bag work with one of the trainers.

The training was great and truly enjoyable. Everyone at the gym is like a family always ready to help each other even though all are from different countries and religious beliefs. The bond that existed is of true martial artists and good human beings.

Every day brought a new opportunity to learn. We just needed to be ready to learn and there was always something to learn.

Though we were there for a week it seemed to fly away like it was just yesterday. Personally for me it is one of the most enriching ways to have begun the new year.

The day came when we had to leave, it was a day where am sure all of us were sad and felt like we were leaving a part of us there. We hope to be back with Jitti and all the trainers and practitioners for a longer period of time may be 6months or even a year. Until then all we can do is prepare and train harder for another enriching experience.

Importance of Self defense training for all.

Self defense training is a life skill that is very important for all to learn irrespective of age, gender or fitness levels. It is the training to be ready and prevent being a victim of a violent assault or crime. Self defense is about how we respond in the first 10 to 15 seconds after being physically attacked and also about the few minutes prior to that. Very often the attitude of most people is - Why do I need to learn all this, we have the law to protect us and it won't happen to me. Yes we do have a wonderful law enforcement departments like the police and the judiciary to protect us and give justice etc. But we are our own first responders. There is no police patrol vehicle following each of us to protect us as soon as something happens. Self defense training is exactly for this time zone between being attacked and the police coming to the scene to protect you. We need to train for this exact moment on how to respond when attacked violently and prevent ourselves ...

Motivation is a scam that is making us weak.

There are some words that are created or given a different meaning to an already existing word. Some of these words are scams on the entire human race, making us weak, soft and escapist. Motivation is one such word. It is one word that has made so many of us blame our escapist behaviours on something else rather than stand up to bring the change within. Just by saying - I don't have the motivation - we are trying to shift the blame onto something else besides our laziness or escapist behaviour. Trigger is another word with a new meaning. A few decades back trigger was just something on a gun. Today everything triggers everyone, making us softer than soft toys, crying or getting anxiety over anything anyone says. Coming back to motivation. The self help books hoax is another stupidity trying to mint money off gullible people. How is it a self help book, if you need to read what someone else writes to introspect or bring change in your own life. Self help com...
