* Testimonial for Chokdee Muay Thai Academy:
Ive trained in a few places prior to finding Rich at Chokdee so consider myself, although not an expert in any martial arts, to be experienced in the variety of gyms out there and Chokdee by far stands out as the best.
Firstly the quality of instruction. I've learnt more in Rich's one hour sessions, than weeks with certain clubs/instructors. His knowledge and experience and how he delivers it is exceptional, and it sticks, so i can always remember what i should be doing and more importantly, why.
Safety- the environment he trains people in is safe, but robust. In my line of work- front line infantry, i cannot afford to sustain injuries outside of work and have been to clubs which aren't as well monitored or as good at creating a safe environment to learn, which means his students absorb more.
Family orientated. All members are so friendly, i would take my niece or nephew to train at his club as such a fun and friendly environment (if it wasn't for distance). No other club offers this variety of training for all ages in a safe and well kitted out gym.
Quality of equipment. Chokdee is professionally kitted out and well suited for training safely with a variety of kit. It does get busy as so popular, but will happen when you have fitness circuits on, with guys practicing pad work and some BJJ guys rolling at the same time, fantastic.
I'm more than happy to recommend Rich's Chokdee to anyone wanting to train Muay Thai as a beginner upto professional fighter :)
