The Royal Thai Consulate invited Thai Fighters to conduct Muay Thai Training at UFC GYM Bandra

Mumbai: India’s bilateral relations with Thailand are rooted in history, age-old social and cultural interactions and extensive people-to-people contacts. In the past two decades, with regular political exchanges, growing trade and investment, India’s ties with Thailand have now evolved into a comprehensive partnership.

On the eve of 75 years of this partnership, the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Mumbai partners with UFC GYM India to extend the training of their popular MMA sport through their top athletes Supawit Chaisiri (Kru Bank) and Anusorn Sor Ruya (Kru Tum) to the Indian brethren at the UFC GYM Bandra facility in Mumbai.

Muaythai, also referred to as the art of 8 limbs which include 2 fists, 2 feet, 2 elbows and 2 knees, is a martial art and one of the most demanding combat sports that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. It’s a total body HIIT workout. A fun and efficient way to burn fat and lose weight that also builds your core, flexibility, and overall strength. It also builds confidence, dedication and determination.

Mr. Donnawit Poolsawat, Consul General, Royal Thai Consulate-General in Mumbai states, “On the occasion of the 75th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between Thailand and India, the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Mumbai extends this training session to the Indian audience in association with UFC GYM India. We are sure this ancient form of martial art will help to inculcate a holistic fitness regime among fellow Indians”.

“We, at UFC GYM India, provide unlimited group fitness classes where one can discover the fit that’s right for themselves. This initiative is part of the same endeavour where one can consistently shock their system and deliver the desired results and achieve optimal fitness. We thank the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Mumbai for such a noble initiative to promote fitness in India and look forward to many such initiatives in future to strengthen the bond between both our nations”

“We’d also like to thank Ms. Nattasuda Mettaprasert, Deputy Consulate General, Royal Thai Consulate-General in Mumbai and Mr. Ajay Marwah, Associate Director – Marketing & Operations, UFC GYM Bandra for bringing this event together and making it a success.” share Mr. FarzadPalia and Mr. Istayak Ansari, Master Licensees of UFC GYM India.

That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think” , Said Curator Kalashri Lata Surendra.
