Do any Mappers know of or train here? As this is the closest Muay Thai gym and I would really like to give it a try. So i would just like to know what the training is like (if you do train there). The coach is Andre McIntyre, anyone heard of him? Curious
Best way to find out is to go there and have a trail lesson, pretty much all martial arts gyms offer 1 free lesson, so give it a shot and see if it's right for you.
I have phoned the guy. Still waiting for a response about a lesson time, this place only does private lessons. I do not think he gives free trial lessons but I am not sure about that. Prices are £25 a lesson or £100 for 5 lessons pretty expensive. Curious
Are you freaking serious? My gym is $125 AUS for up to 5 days a week. Sinosic-Perosh for those that are familiar with it.
I know the only reason I would be willing to pay that is if the training is greta and the fact that its the only gym I can get to until I can drive or so how get to newbury, hours drive away parents aren't willing to drive that far. EDIT: The coaching is one on one so that might be a reason for teh high prices.
Not sure if I’m getting mixed up here, but is/was Andre McIntyre one of the fighters to come out of Frank Bowen’s Thai Boxing School….may just be getting mixed up in that Frank promoted a lot of local shows. Anyway not sure if you’ve been there, but have you popped into Kik Sports (14 Bristol & West Arcade, Friar Street)? They should have details on local clubs up and running based on talking to the instructors/customers that visit their shop. At the end of the day, as mentioned above best bet is probably to just give a lesson a go. That being said one major thing you are missing with just privates is a variety of people to spar with.
True I have thought about the whole sparring thing but its the only school that I can get to. Still waiting for a reply, I got told I would get one last tuesday never did but ah well I can wait (I have phoned again so all i can do is wait). I do not know a lot about the guy i know he has been in a few fights (just a bit og googling but I did not find much). I'll give kik sports a try, as suggested, they are usually pretty good.
That is a ridiculously large amount of money to pay for classes! Though I guess it is the standard cost of a private lesson in most classes... still I can't imagine a gym ONLY running private classes that just seems odd. Anyway don't know anything about the 3D Gym seen some of their fighters at the WBC thing in Wembley and they didn't do too well if I recall... but they produce fighters which is a good sign!
thanks for the replies. I am still waiting on a reply from the gym. The only thing I have been able to find closs enough to me is a Kickboxing class so I am gonna give this a go on thursday. Muay Thai might have to wait till I move or can drive
Got a reply today Found out they do not just do private coaching but new students do have to do an introductary course. www.3dmuaythai.com theres the website. The chief intructor said for the moment to concentrate on my exams and then give him a call in july. So hopefully when all ym exams are done I can start training. By the way thanks to MAP for the info and help esspecially the FAQ Curious
i wouldnt pay that much even if they do produce fighters i know they have a few highish ranked fighters in the british ranks though
the private session prices or the normal session prices? On the site the prices for the sessions are £7. Still though not sure if this is a bit expensive. EDIT: How much is everyone else paying? UK guys only please.
£7 is ok since they are are pretty well established gym no problems there but its a tad pricey. i pay £4 a lesson or £32 a month for 3 sessions and 2 sparring sessions each week. i wouldnt be able to afford £7 a lesson but if you got the cash go for it i know i would. KO's gym charges around the same, im sure alot of other top gyms do to (wikker camp, bad company) most offer a quid or 2 off to people with memberships.
yes andre mcintrye was that world champion taught by frank bowen his last fight was against jake els from south africa after that fight he was in hospital as it was an "elbow war"
Well sorted it out now My training in gonna start in july, as he is currently training for a show, I can't wait
