In this blog, we’ll explore everything about the beginning of this gym, its amazing founder Oleydong Sithsamerchai who is a former WBC champion, along with everything the gym has to offer. Stay tuned for more.
Founded By The Famous Oleydong Sithsamerchai
Oleydong Boxing and Muay Thai Gym was started in 2019 by the professional boxer, Oleydong Sithsamerchai who has won 69 out of the 72 professional fights he has competed in, out of which he won 29 fights by knockouts. He is also the first boxing champion from southern Thailand to actually win the strawweight WBC championship, which many others from Thailand have fought for but failed to win.
Winner Of Multiple World Boxing Champion Titles
His high winning rate includes multiple WBC championships from the international mini flyweight title to the international silver super flyweight title, international super flyweight title, and many others. He has fought and retained these titles multiple times, only losing twice in his entire professional boxing career with an undefeated streak of 34 wins.
Kru Oleydong has also fought throughout Thailand cementing his legacy as a highly successful boxer in many cities from Bangkok to Surat Thani, Chonburi, and many more. He has even fought in Japan and secured his wins there too.
Boxing Trainer At Phuket Top Team Before Starting Oleydong Boxing Gym
Kru Oleydong was the head of the popular gym Phuket Top Team before he left to start his own training gym which is the gym we are discussing right now. Although this is one of the best Muay Thai gyms in the Kathu District of Phuket, we came here to learn western boxing firsthand from the legendary boxing trainer Kru Oley himself. We have to say we loved the whole experience!
If you want to know more about Kru Oley and his mindblowing boxing matches, check out our blog on Oleydong Sithsamerchai.
Where Is Oleydong Boxing Gym Located?
Oleydong Boxing Muay Thai Gym is located at 94/26 Vichitsongkram Road in Pa Tong in the Kathu District of Phuket, Thailand. Phuket is a beautiful island in southern Thailand not too far from Kru Oley’s hometown.
The island is perfect for a holiday filled with sandy beaches, amazing spas, exceptional food, historical Thai monuments, and other cultural attractions along with being a wonderful place to learn Muay Thai while relaxing!
There are many reasons to choose Oleydong Boxing Gym apart from its convenient and activity-filled location, and the obvious high-quality training experience with the almost undefeated boxing trainer, Kru Oleydong Sithsamerchai! So what are they? Keep reading to know more!
Why Do People Choose Oleydong Boxing And Muay Thai Gym?
We had three main reasons to want to try out and review Oleydong Boxing Gym apart from the fact that we are exploring all possible gyms in Phuket, Thailand. The first reason was Kru Oley’s achievements which made me want to learn first-hand from such a pro. The second reason was that I purchased new Fairtex boxing gloves and what better place to test them out than the gym of the maestro of western boxing?
The third reason was the various reviews I read and heard from people, praising the entire training experience at the gym while also stating that it was much better than prominent gyms like Tiger Muay Thai, Sinbi Muay Thai, and others, dominating the Phuket Muay Thai scene! What makes Oleydong Boxing Gym so superior in the eyes of its learners? We’ve explored these reasons below.
Top-Notch Muay Thai And MMA Trainers
We’ve raved about the founder far too many times already, so we won’t repeat that. However, as a martial arts school, Oleydong Boxing Gym is full of champions and exceptional trainers with great expertise and tactical approaches to training martial arts to their learners.
There are different trainers for each martial art, and they are well-versed in their knowledge and training techniques and methods. Learners rave about how their learning experience with the trainers is impactful no matter how much knowledge and expertise they already have.
Wide Range Of Training Packages
Whether you’re looking for western boxing, Muay Thai, or any other martial arts – this is a martial arts school that has it all. You can also choose from private sessions or group classes according to your preferences with Kru Oleydong or other trainers. The rates differ accordingly.
You can also choose a convenient time for you within the business hours mentioned below from Monday to Saturday from 8:00 am to 8:30 pm.
- 8 am: Muay Thai and Boxing
- 3 pm: Only Boxing on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
- 5 pm: Muay Thai and Boxing (Saturday 4 pm)
Personalized Training
Regardless of the trainer, the entire training program is customized to suit your skill level. If you’re a beginner with low fitness levels, you can expect a slower plan that will help you build strength from the ground up and condition your mind too.
If you’re a beginner that is generally very active, you can expect to start with other high-intensity tasks like bag work, footwork, etc. obviously after a good warm-up! The experience is different for each learner, but always an effective and positive one.
State Of The Art Equipment And Facilities
As Oleydong Boxing Gym was only opened recently in comparison to other MMA training schools it is equipped with top-notch modern equipment and training facilities. There is an abundance of gear for all martial arts so you don’t need to worry if this isn’t a dedicated Muay Thai gym – it still has everything you need for the sport.
The environment is also immaculate and very safe, so this is a training investment that gives returns in so many ways. We aren’t surprised that the Oleydong Boxing Gym community swears by the training programs offered here over other famous gyms in Phuket.
Supportive And Welcoming Community
Everyone associated with Oleydong Boxing Gym is a fan of the founder, or loves how things operate here. This is shown in the way trainers, their peers, and learners treat each other. It is also shown in the way they all believe there is no better gym whether it is for Muay Thai, kickboxing, western boxing, and whatnot.
Oleydong Boxing Gym’s close-knit community’s passion fuels Muay Thai enthusiasts of all skill levels to go to the highest mile possible and keep pushing. We love the entire atmosphere here.
Affordable Rates
Oleydong Boxing Gym has very affordable prices, especially if you choose their unlimited training plans. You can have the best training experience with all the benefits above without having to break the bank!
What We Liked About This Martial Arts School
As beginners to Muay Thai, ex-pats in Phuket, and a family of 5 that travels together, we need a lot of criteria for a Muay Thai gym or boxing gym to check. Oleydong Boxing Gym fit covered all our needs but the main reasons we would recommend it would be the individualized training experience and family-friendly atmosphere.
Customized Training To Suit All Skill Levels
We have zero experience with western boxing and are only just starting with Muay Thai too. However, the coaching session was very appropriately altered to suit my journey in western boxing and the instructor was patient, tactical and helpful throughout. I saw that many other learners were experiencing the same, for all the martial arts they covered!
Family-Friendly And Inclusive Atmosphere
Another great thing is that Oleydong Boxing Gym is kid-friendly. As a family of 5 with three young kids, we love to be around our kids and also learn Muay Thai at the same time. Although we did try out western boxing at Oleydong Boxing Gym, we are most passionate about Muay Thai.
Regardless of what combat sport we train here, being able to be here as a family is something we always look for that we can’t be happier about.
