Muay Thai in Holland

[thecountofpontefisto]

Hi everyone on Kakutougi!

Im an amature Thai Boxer from England and I am wanting to train in Holland for a couple of weeks. I was thinking of Vos gym or Mejiro Gym. I read the forums lots and realise that a lot of Dutch guys post on here, I was wondering if anyone has any advice or helpfull contacts.

Thank You in advance

Andy

Welcome aboard.

This thread might be a good starter, other than that I`ll bow out and let the Dutch members reply.

Yes, I have never been in down town Amsterdam in my life! No kidding.
I have been in the muncipality of Amsterdam, but never op de Dam, de Wallen, the canals.

In 2007 I want to go there.

What do you mean exactly? It's very difficult to upset someone in Holland, especially in Amsterdam.

Hell, I would give as a tip not to be offended yourself. The Dutch are known for their 'direct approach' (or by some cultures referred to as 'rude' ;) ).

You'll catch my drift :P

Furthermore, if you want tips from an experienced fighter, you can PM Gary Turner who posts here under the name "Smiler', he trains for a long while now in Holland (with Fighting Factory Carbin), so he can give you some pointer and all the ins and outs)

Well, you sound as a polite man... so if you are polite there is no worry for upseting anyone. Maybe if you know some Dutch words, people might like it and it breaks the ice.

thank you i'll do that!
