Individuals that are training in the advanced MMA program at Tiger Muay Thai for more than 14 days will be expected to have the following training gear;
- 16oz Boxing Gloves
- Hand Wraps
- Shin Pads
- 8oz “Shooto” style MMA glove
* If individuals do not have training gear upon arrival they can purchase it in the Tiger Muay Thai Gear shop (usually at about 60% of the International cost). The camp has several pairs of “loaners” for individuals training at the camp for less than one week. As a professional it is important to have your own training gear, it decreases the sharing of bodily fluids and prevents the spread of preventable infections. Many of the camp fighters enjoy taking advantage of the cheaper prices Thailand has to offer on training supplies.
