It's been over 10 years that I've been back to Soi Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket, Thailand and wow have things changed. There are so many new gyms, supplement shops and businesses catered to them, people have started to refer to the soi as Fitness Street. Take a look to see how it looks nice, verses what things were like in 2010 when I was living and training there.

I think the "She's 46!" refers to Johnny's waistline in inches. 😂

@dougsmuaythai Год назад

Great to see you back at Muay Thai. Amazing how far Muay Thai tourism has grown from when I first went to Thailand in 1984.

@Swonehunter Год назад

This is so heartwarming in so many ways. Thanks for the video!

@doridez1647 Год назад

Excellent video Johnny!!!really enjoyed this one 👍 👌

@jepolch Год назад

Johnny, I really enjoyed this video because you were so happy and excited to revisit your old muay thai stomping grounds and Tony's restaurant. Have fun!

@Brendanno100 Год назад

This is a great video Johnny, nice memories for you

@northernstar4811 Год назад

That English lady looked in great shape. Very, very fit.

@roseadibpour7766 Год назад

So nice to be able to see Soi Ta-iad again. It's been four years since I've been there and I see the changes therefore I can only imagine how you feel. Great video.

@mr.g1683 Год назад

Sir wonderful video content. To hear you takes us through the history of this place and your personal connection. Plus cool hearing your voice at the younger years and seeing you at them young years. Hope you make more of these history videos of places you been at 10- years or long before..

@bigbaza30 Год назад

Awesome video Johnny, enjoyed watching

@flysky6248 Год назад

Thanks Johnny,another great content from Thailand.

@mixalis6168 Год назад

You spend enough time in tiger, for trainer to always remember you, i trained in Bkk, and did not see my trainer until 15 years later, as gym closed down and he retired.. I bumped into him at a market and at 70 came of and hugged me, calling my name ! 10 years, 7 full time, and 3 on and off, awesome ! Unit 27 opened in 2011!

@JohnnyFD Год назад

Wow that's amazing!

@bigmil1 Год назад

Wow cant believe you went back..i drove down that street last year and its crazy how much its developed.

@Leo-lj6vs Год назад

Thanks for sharing your life Johnny. Reminds me of the time I did Muay with my teacher Sakat. It was a great experience and Thai people are lovely.

@danielcargill8019 Год назад

Awesome gym, we need one of those in the Boston area.

Awesome walk down memory lane

@davidomalley926 Год назад

Super video, the nostalgia was palpable.

@JohnnyFD Год назад

I had to look up that word, but thanks! It was exactly how I was trying to show it. "(of a feeling or atmosphere) so intense as to seem almost tangible, able to be touched or felt."

@irmakalember3709 Год назад

That lady looks great. Johhyn it’s never too late to join again ans to become healthy.

@stevegorel 9 месяцев назад

Hi J, I was wondering if you know some places in phuket (fitness street maybe?) where they teach children muay thai (my daughter is 5,5), my wife can take fitness classes, and I could do some amateur muay thai for a fit 42 year old who just uses muay thai to stay in shape.... Kind regards from Belgium

@garryc8744 Год назад

Great footage Johnny, do you remember prethemps muay thai gym in Rawai back in 2010?

@shakpro4296 Год назад

Wow, Johnny looked different back then. You NEED to trim down. Shred weight.

@sonicmoj1 Год назад

Not when he's eating every 5 minutes and downing Long Islands.

@jaypee7440 Год назад

Finally a quality video

@korallrev3497 Год назад

i actually watched your old fights here on YT and i always thought what happend to that haha! You should do a session again

@almightyeggroll951 19 дней назад

Hahaha memories eating at Tony's. Jee was such a nice dude

@Bighugz75 Год назад

that was awesome when your trainer saw you

@michaelgarn5330 Год назад

Good to go home again.

@bgd73 Год назад

that is really cool to have memories like this, and recorded. I was sized up simply working out at a gym.. I guess I am a boxing shape of a human. LOl.I still am a fan today. I was way too busy. You are big enough, where you don't look 5 ft 11. Psychology by appearance. My grandpa was 5 ft11 3/4 .. worked as a bouncer. Skinny guy with 2x large to cover his shoulders bones.

@johnclare9021 Месяц назад

Is there a western boxing gym in phuket where one can train and fight?

@haakonchristensen2880 Год назад

I think you were doing great in the fight you showed clip of, Jhonny. Looks like you had some hard forward punshes 👍

@Gemelli2906 Год назад

Theres an american lady named Lily who has a youtube channel, she lives in thailand and has a restaurant.

@mr.g1683 Год назад

Sir what work did you do for income to save and travel when you had first visit Thailand?

@JohnnyFD Год назад

I wrote about the savings and moving process in my book “12 weeks in Thailand by Johnny FD.” You can find it on Amazon.

@twinlamps Год назад

Cool seeing your old digs. How did you cope with the heat?!

@khin77ify Год назад

Johnny, I didnt follow you 10 years ago.. but after watching this vid (the Johnny now vs the Johnny 10 yrs ago), I feel old ;) I hope you enjoyed going through this memory lane. Very touched to see you meeting nice folks again after many years!

Just curious..is jiu-jitsu growing there in Thailand?

@JohnnyFD Год назад

It’s always existed, but it’s not huge like MMA or Muay Thai.

@jacobsanders9167 Год назад

Johnny always remember always go for the trunk of the tree. Muay Thai has no ranking.

@brianoc6057 Год назад

@kayflip2233 Год назад

She looks like 16 years younger than her age. Really good shape. Lots of Brits and Russians love to train Muay Thai in Thailand I find. Also, this rapid development is happening all over SE Asia. I go the Puerto Princesa, Philippines every year and each year it keeps expanding with Western hotel chains, new restaurants and shops and more and more tourists are everywhere. Asia in general is booming with tourism, expat and business demand.

@yuryhalim3733 Год назад

Johnny's probably just complimenting her. In my standards, I wouldn't give her a day less than 46

@kayflip2233 Год назад

@@yuryhalim3733 come on at least give her 38. I know 46 year old women that look absolutely wretched. she doesn't look that old.

@hokimoki3677 Год назад

Cool video, i have a question, how does it all work if u wanting to fight, do you become a sponsored fighter? Do u still have to pay training fees? Does the gym take a cut of the purse? Thanks bro

@JohnnyFD Год назад

The first fight is always as a paying customer, they may take some fees for hand wraps, cornerman, etc. After that, if they ask you to fight under the gym banner in the future, you can negotiate free training for a cut of the purse, etc.

@Anonymousones1 9 месяцев назад

It only use to be tony’s and Jaja house top,team is gone now as well

@Lucky14970 Год назад

I knew you did Muay Thai and everything... But man, like so many of the UFC's world champs and contenders train/have trained at Tiger! How amazing to see how far that gym has come and what it has become! That's so f'n rad that you were there "before it was cool!" Do you still ever watch the UFC or want to? I could help you with that if necessary. Anyways man, super cool that you trained at Tiger before it was even known like it is today. I mean for f'n god sakes, Alex Volkanovski trains there when leading up to fights!!

@DougPoulton Год назад

Johnny, you remind me of the MMA fighter Randall "Tex" Cobb. He trained on submarine sandwiches and pitchers of beer and still managed to go 15 rounds with Larry Holmes. In an interview later he said he was starting to wear down Holmes and could have beat him if they went another 10 rounds. He asked Holmes for a rematch and Larry said ABSOLUTELY NOT.
