My training at superpro camp for 4 weeks.
So i just came back to Norway after a 4 week trip to Thailand. This time i did not go to Chumphon or Chiang Mai. This time i wanted to try something different. So i decided to give the superpro camp in samui a try. I have been looking at their webpage for some time. And after watching the latest episode of "The Reem", and also watching quite a few videos from Superpro's youtube channel, i felt like this was a camp i could enjoy. Also: Koh Samui looked like a cool place.
So me and my girlfriend got on the plane and went to Thailand. After a 15 hour trip, we finaly landed in BKK. Instead of going to Koh Samui right away, we stayed in BKK for three days. Then the plan was to go to Koh Samui to train hard right away.. I did some light training in BKK. But nothing to serious. Then the shit started...
After two days in BKK, i got food poisoning after eating Chicken Tikka at a Indian food place.. This was not good. I spendt the next 3 days more or less in the bed and at the toilet. :icon_neut
We finaly got to Koh Samui after a few not so great days.. But i was still weak after the food poisoning stuff. So after checking inn at our room at Superpro. I did mostly light training there. I had to run to the toliet like ten times during each training session. Not fun at all.

So the first week was over. And by the start of the 2nd week, i finaly felt better. So i could start training.
Compared to most other gyms i have trained at in Thailand, This camp was a little different. First of all its very focused on cardio. The techniques and the training is also very boxing oriented compared to most gyms i have seen in Thailand. But dont get me wrong. You still get alot of great training for your kicks, elbows, and clinching game.
The Muay Thai training are two session each day, 6 days a week. The morning session starts at 08:00 and last until 10:00. The afternoon session goes from 17:00 - 19:00. Every session follows more or less the same format. And it looks like this:
- 20 or 25 minutes of running or skipping.
- wraps hands and start steching.
- 3-5 rounds of shadowboxing (boxing or muay thai).
- Bagwork. Either free form, or you will get some combination to work on..
- 3-5 rounds of Thai pads or boxing mitts.
- dutch drilling (combinations in the gloves), or some training on blocking/countering
- finish with alot of knees and push-kicks on the bags, sit-ups and other stuff
- stretching
monday wednesday and fridays are pure sparring days. and that was alot of fun. many great fighters to spar with. even the thai coaches would do sparring. it was a good mix of pro fighters, amateur fighters, martial artist and the real thai fighters. :icon_chee

The training was good. I did not get a fight. And that was a shame. But i understand why. I lost one solid week from being sick. And i was way to heavy to get a fight against a local Thai guy. But the training and sparrring still made it worth the trip.
Keng and Beau (Chonlek) was the two trainers i had most to do with. They helped me alot. I also sparred with both og them. Keng was super fun to spar with. And Beau was a great pad holder.

Superpro is without a doubt the most fancy and coolest gym i have stayed at. The place is great. It got four full size boxing rings, a big MMA cage, a grappling area, a big area with alot of heavy bags, a fitness gym with everything you will ever need: free weights, kettlebells, medicine balls, and much more.
It also have a small restaurant, a swimming pool, and they sell things like protein shakes, energy drinks, fighting gear, and much more.
So yeah. I had three weeks with great training. I can write more later. I also filmed some trainingstuff. I will edit it into a small video later. :)
