Things have shaken up in the bay with the closing of Fairtex San Francisco. The gym and its trainers; Bunkerd, Enn, Ganyao, and Jongsanaan have all made a huge impact on the world of Muay Thai and a resounding impression the world of American Muay Thai, and MMA. The guys have dispersed throughout the Bay and California. “The Wooden Man,” has

landed at El Nino MMA, Gilbert Melendez’s gym in the Dogpatch area  of San Francisco on 25th and 3rd st. The large warehouse is perfect for Jongsanaan. Not only is he being housed by one of his students but he’s also surrounded by other top notch team members; including Mark Mian of the Alter Center and Albert Salopek of Accelerate Sports Medicine

I got a chance to talk to Jongsanaan and Gilbert about opening the new place, and what their goals are for their new spot.

 

 

About mlucas

Born to a working class family in rural New York I grew up working like a dog and drinking Natural light in the woods. After a brief stint attempting to escape the poverty of employment via university I gave up on escaping the grind and moved to sunny California where the burritos are as generous as the weather. I work in the service industry slinging booze and food. I got into Muay Thai as a recreational activity. I saw an interclub fight and decided to try it out, everyone has to test their mettle somehow. A few fights and a year later I was in Thailand training, and fighting. I haven’t quit stepping into the ring since. I currently live in West Oakland and balance my time blocking punches with my head with attempting to prevent brain deterioration through writing, studying Thai; language, culture and history, and going to wild dance parties with my friends.
