THE FIGHTERS OF SOR SOMMAI GYM ARE OFTEN IN THE SPECIALIZED NEWSPAPERS!
The boxers run twice a day, in the morning their route owed 10 km and only 6 km after noon. To avoid the infernal pollution of Bangkok, nakmuays is going to run in a big park near the camp…
In camp, the sessions of clinch are not very long, between 30 and 40 minutes. But on the other hand the sessions in punch bags are longer and especially the lesson in paos is more than testing. In period of fight, the boxer makes 8 rounds for punch bags. Then, it makes 10 rounds of paos, without time of rest, or 30 minutes without stopping!
So to say that the boxers of the Sor Sommai have a physical condition of madness after such a training!
Some foreigners came to train here, Spanish, English, German and Japanese fighters tested the punch bags of Sor Sommai. The training costs only 200 bahts a day and for the accommodation there are several cheap hotels not far from the camp. Because the foreigners cannot sleep in the camp, rooms are already quite occupied by the boxers of the Sor Sommai Gym who are many in renowned camp!
