  • Two things I noticed during my sessions here: 1. Positive reinforcement and motivational atmosphere directly proportional to the intensity of the training. I didn't feel tarred and feathered, unlike in other facilities where it was pretty much "pulp the new guy." One normally does not associate words such as "respect" and "good nature" with a roomful of people of all ages barking "kiai-s" and going all out on pads and on form- and strength training, in an enclosed space....definitely a spectacle in and of itself. You don't know "hard" core training until you've done a Thai workout...the kidneys shudder just thinking about it. 2. Despite the gruff, no-nonsense image shown on the reality shows (MTV: Real Life and Fight Girls) that brought the man (and the gym) to public spotlight, Master Toddy is a REALLY chill, yet intense guy (if that makes any sense at all), as the other reviewers here have mentioned. I'm not going to lie, I was stoked yet equally intimidated walking into this place....but in the brief time I met with him and the other Thai trainers, I was very impressed with how down-to-earth they were, considering the veritable stable of champions they've molded. The spartan nature of the facilities keeps things equal.. i.e. the ranked guy trains with the same grungy pads as everyone else. And it's not just all combat, either. Even if you have no intentions of improving your "stand-up" and just want an alternative to the boring same-old rat wheel at the gym, a lot of people are there for exactly the same reason. Besides, you can see the real top-level badasses walking in and out of YOUR gym like it ain't no thing. How cool is that? Must....commit....self, fully.....in near future. =)=)
