Guro Saltys Training in thailand

[Evan]

Hello All,

I was wondering if it is possible to attend the badahvista institute where Guro Salty studied krabi krabong and muay thai? Do they have a website? Instruction in english? Please include contact information for the place if possible.

Thanks!

woof Evan:

i may be wrong on this, but i thought i read/heard somewhere that the Buddhaiswan Institute closed down.

although that Institute was sponsored by the government and is the most well-known to farangs, there are other krabi krabong masters still teaching in Thailand if you search/ask around.

good luck in your search and training.

The Buddhai Sawan school may still be open. Email the admin of the site

i am interested in going 2 thailand as well.did anyone ever find out if this camp is still open? i have looked around the web and found plenty of MT, but only some passing reference 2 K.K.
i mentioned the idea 2 a friend and he brought up vaccinations and disease doom and gloom.
i am curious if anyone can tell me anything? any of u guys gone? guru salty, any comments?( does he post?)?

[ponytotts]

p.s.
ok buddahiswan in thailand is closed as far as i can tell. but, there seems 2 B one in the U.K.
 i will call them N the morning 2 double check, but i would really rather go 2 thailand. i am still interested in eperiences that anyone who has gone could give me.

 OK. I've heard that the Buddhai Sawan school has closed its thonburi location (across the river from bangkok) but has actually reopened its original school in Ayudhaya (Ayutthaya...i forget how to spell it). Ayudhaya is about an hour north of bangkok. If you go there just ask for the Wat BuddhaiSawan (BuddhaiSawan Temple). This tidbit was given to me by the tourism board, which also has a phone number for the thai sports association if you need further details. I haven't been up to the temple so I really can't verify-but from the whispers I've heard they're still up and running.

 Alternatively, there are Krabi-Krabong classes every day at Lumpini park (in the center of the city). I'm not sure if there is a morning class, but i watched a late afternoon class (around 4-6pm in the NW corner of the park). The teacher was really nice and lessons are in thai. Also i once emailed Khru Villalobos who runs a school in Chiang Mai and he provided a contact number for KK training in Thailand.

 I trained for a little bit at the old location and although the instruction was in thai, the instructors were able to communicate their ideas quite well. The lessons were divided up into doing drills with different weapons and then learning the ceremonial dance for each weapon. good times.

Thank you for that info Porn Star Dog (That's because his last name is "JungwiwattanattaPORN" or "Jung" for short).

Ajarn Salty's life now requires his attention elsewhere.  We'll be glad for him and for ourselves when the wheel rolls around and he can join us once again.

[nasigoreng]

I would recommend ajarn Pedro Villalobos in Chiang Mai.? ?www.ancientmuaythai.com

He teaches Muay Boran (old school) , regular competitive Muay Thai, and Krabbi Krabong (8th degree gold sash).

Chiang Mai is a much more pleasant city than Bangkok, especially for a long-term stay (you can renew your visa easily by taking a 5hr bus ride to the Myanmar border).?

i am really digging the sound of this school. any idea why K.K. is by invitation only? i emailed them , but  have yet 2 get a reply.
i still want 2 hear from someone that has been 2 thailand. any experiences 2 share.
hope all is ok with salty.

tpotts

[ponytotts]

so, i am back. sorry it took me so long.
PS.dog. u r in thai land. R U a local?
what i really wanna know is, whats up with immunizations and the like? is there anything special that  one should watch out 4? what is the attitude of the locals with tourists?  why  is K.K. " invitation only"? (@ the school that u recomended) what r the requirments? are u studying K.K. of tB? any disappointments? 
lets start there.
tp

[ponytotts]

u still out there pornstar dog?

[bjung]

sorry for the delay...
yes, i'm sort of local, i spent time growing up here and have been back now for a few months. the locals have a great attitude towards foreigners. i can't think of anything specifically to look out for.  as for immunizations, i really can't remember, i think i had one for encephalitus when i first moved here. TB is widespread, but things like malaria and dengue are pretty rare.
I'm not sure why KK is by invitation only. I haven't been to his school, I've only had a brief email correspondence with him. I'm hoping to get up to Ayutthaya soon to visit the Buddhaisawan school to get the low down on what's going on, but i'm not currently practicing KK. i have no disappointments about living here or any of the training i've had here.

[ponytotts]

what part of thailand r u n?(did i miss that?)
i dont remember where i found the link, but a teacher in the philippines has a great post on his site about traveling there. not the same country obviously, but i am sure @ least some of it is relevant.

Hey its Evan,

I am heading to Thailand on Oct. 22 and I will be training at Fairtex Pattaya. I realize that pattaya is kind of a seedy city but its by the beach so I thought it would be better than Bangkok. Hopefully I will find a KK school near there.

[ponytotts]

woof! have fun. why r u going? t.b.? kk? or just a tourist?
hope u can keep us posted, i am really curious how it goes.
what kind of advice r u getting? any specific immunizations being recomended?

[ponytotts]

   now i remember how i found the rapid realismo likk.... i was just reading thru some of the old posts anwhatdoyaknow.....

[KosherDog]

Im going to the fairtex academy in Pattaya (www.fairtexbkk.com) I haven't gotten any immunizations. Do I need any? LOL!!

[ponytotts]

that is why i started this post again. i was talking 2 a friend about going and she started in with malaria, typhoid and some jungle fever(no pun intended) horror stories. i would check with your travel agent or a DR.
difinne seedy city.......
