The Golden Era of Muay Thai, Returns to Bangkok:
Bangkok is home to some of the most iconic Muay Thai gyms in the world, but only a few combine authentic Golden Era technique, experienced stadium fighters, modern training standards and a welcoming environment for every level. WKK Gym stands out as the place where real Muay Thai culture and world class training come together in a way that is rare even in Thailand.
WKK Gym is not a commercial fitness studio. It is a four floor training facility dedicated entirely to Muay Thai. Every session is led by real Thai coaches with genuine fight experience, and the gym operates with a clear mission. Preserve authentic Muay Thai technique, teach with respect and discipline, develop fighters and beginners with the same attention to detail and offer an environment where anyone can grow physically and mentally.
From Golden Era lineage to modern performance conditioning, WKK Gym offers an experience that is both traditional and elite, giving students the chance to train Muay Thai at its highest level.
THE LINEAGE THAT DEFINES US
WKK Gym is led by trainers who come directly from the Golden Era lineage. This includes our ambassador Therdkiat Sitthepitak, widely known across Thailand as the King of Lumpinee. His influence and technical approach shape the way our trainers teach and guide students on a daily basis.
Training is also led by Ajarn Din, a respected coach with decades of experience and deep roots in traditional Muay Thai. His pads, movement and teaching style reflect the foundations that define real Thai technique. Students often notice how quickly their balance, timing and placement improve under his instruction.
Kru Udd Noi is another core part of the team. With well over one hundred professional fights, including a win over Rodtang, he is an active stadium fighter who still competes at venues such as Lumpinee and Rajadamnern. His knowledge of the modern fight game combined with his traditional Thai training background gives students a unique perspective on how Muay Thai is really applied in live competition.
This combination of trainers is rare. It creates a coaching environment that carries the precision, intelligence and respect of true Muay Thai while also offering modern fight understanding and high level technical detail.
THE WKK TRAINING EXPERIENCE
WKK is built for all levels. The gym works hard, the sessions are structured and the technique is detailed, but the environment is friendly, supportive and welcoming. Whether you are stepping into your first beginner class or preparing for a professional fight, the training is designed to elevate your ability with clarity and purpose.
What you can expect in a typical session
Warm ups focused on mobility, shadowboxing and footwork
Pad work with experienced Thai coaches who correct every detail
Bag work to build timing, rhythm and conditioning
Technique breakdowns that teach real Muay Thai fundamentals
Optional sparring and clinch for those comfortable
Cool downs and stretching to support long term progress
The coaching style is firm but encouraging. Trainers help beginners build confidence and support fighters with the intensity they need. No ego, no pressure, just real growth.

FOUR FLOORS BUILT FOR MUAY THAI
Every floor of WKK Gym is dedicated to a different part of the training experience. While other gyms share space with fitness studios or cross training classes, WKK is entirely Muay Thai focused.
Across the four floors you will find:
A full Muay Thai ring
A large bag area
Pads, Thai pads and belly pads
Strength and conditioning space
Technique zones for beginners
A clean, structured layout designed for flow and progression
The facility is modern, organised and photographed on your social pages exactly as it truly is. Nothing is exaggerated or made up. WKK is simply a world class place to train.
HYPOXIC ALTITUDE TRAINING
One of the unique elements of WKK Gym is the availability of hypoxic altitude conditioning. This is not required for beginners or casual students, and the gym does not oversell it. It is a performance tool used correctly for fighter development and athletes preparing for fights.
Altitude training improves oxygen efficiency, recovery speed and conditioning under pressure. When combined with Muay Thai training, it gives fighters a competitive edge. WKK uses proper equipment and applies it in a controlled, intelligent way for those who need it.
Beginners do not need it, but professional fighters benefit significantly.
