Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

FA Group is considered Bangkok's recognized home of clinching – an active martial arts studio in Chatuchak whose trainers and stadium fighters are renowned throughout the Muay Thai scene for their grappling techniques, sweeps, and knee strikes, which are rarely taught in most Western studios. Martial arts enthusiasts make the pilgrimage here specifically for this purpose. Daily training sessions include long clinch rounds, during which visitors are worked on, thrown, and patiently corrected by trainers who consider this the true test of a Muay Thai fighter. The studio maintains an active fighting stable in Rajadamnern and Lumpinee, and training takes place alongside these fights, not as a separate tourist program.

The training day follows the traditional rhythm of a Bangkok boxing camp – with morning and afternoon sessions six days a week – including pad work, heavy bag work, sparring, and clinch training. Its location near Chatuchak provides quick access to the weekend market, the MRT station, and the northern stadium race track.
