The training at Popam Gym went very well.

In less than a week, Chen Sheng has mastered all the basic movements of Muay Thai, and through continuous practice, he has begun to integrate them into his own skills, and then through a period of integration, he can completely make Muay Thai a specialty of his skills.

In the afternoon, Chen Sheng will basically do some strength training in the gym, and then a lot of target practice, and after the third day, he began to add the content of real confrontation, it can be said that every day Chen Sheng's Muay Thai skills are improving by leaps and bounds.

During this period, Chen Sheng will also have some exchanges with the rest of the fighters in the gym, especially Boqiu, he is very interested in Chen Sheng's martial arts skills, and Chen Sheng has no reservations, explaining and demonstrating a lot of martial arts techniques and techniques to Boqiu, and the two will go to the ring from time to time for a practical exercise.

For both sides, this is a very good opportunity to improve, Boqiu's Muay Thai skills are very solid, almost can be said to be the best boxer in the entire boxing gym, Chen Sheng in the process of communicating with him in the actual combat, his own Muay Thai level has also improved very quickly, and Boqiu has also begun to understand kung fu through Chen Sheng's strong martial arts skills, so that if you meet a kung fu master in the ring in the future, you will not be completely blind.

In Muay Thai's techniques, Chen Sheng especially admires the application of Muay Thai in elbows and knees, in these two aspects, Muay Thai has almost achieved the extreme, the use of elbow and knee skills is almost perfect, Chen Sheng also feels that his own strength has improved a lot through learning these.

It has been a week since he came to Thailand, and Chen Sheng feels that he has no problem mastering these basic Muay Thai techniques, and now there is only one thing left to continue to train and consolidate, and these trainings can be completed by himself in any gym, so Chen Sheng feels that there is no need to stay in Thailand anymore.

Originally, his plan was to study in Thailand for half a month, and then go to the Netherlands, stay in the Netherlands for another half a month to 20 days and then return to China, and then it will be the beginning of September, you can go directly to the United States to go to school, the time is just right, now half of the time in Thailand has passed, everything is going very smoothly, Chen Sheng plans to stay for another week, learn all Muay Thai techniques and master them, and then leave Thailand.

But things always took an unexpected turn, and when Chen Sheng and Frank arrived at the gym on the morning of August 18, they were immediately invited to their office by the gym manager.

After pushing the door open and entering the office, Chen Sheng saw that Boqiu was also there, and there were also some fighters, almost all the elites of all levels in the gym.

Seeing this situation, Chen Sheng knew that there must be something, it was very likely that it was a Muay Thai competition, and there are countless Muay Thai competitions in Thailand every year, especially the famous boxing gym like Popam Boxing Gym, where the fighters who train here have countless fights to fight.

This is also the reason why many fighters are willing to pay a lot of money to join these famous gyms, and the best way to improve themselves is to fight in real combat.

In Thailand, many fighters come from relatively poor backgrounds, and fighting is their only source of livelihood, and it is also a shortcut for them to change their living situation.

Every year, Muay Thai competitions of various names provide them with countless opportunities to do well in these competitions, and if they can do well in these competitions, their lives and their families' lives can be turned upside down almost overnight, and Boqiu is the best example of these Muay Thai fighters.

After Chen Sheng came in, the manager hurriedly beckoned him to sit down, and then began to talk about the purpose of convening everyone for a meeting.

"I called everyone here this time because of the upcoming Muay Thai competition, everyone here basically understands this competition, only Chen Sheng doesn't know very much, I'll explain it here."

Chen Sheng and Boqiu greeted each other one after another, and then sat down, looking at the gym manager above, waiting for his next step.

"This Muay Thai tournament held at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, there are people from all levels of our gym to participate, but now there is a lack of one person in the heavyweight competition, it was Jason who participated in this Muay Thai competition heavyweight competition, but unfortunately, in the previous Jason challenge Chen Sheng's match, Jason was knocked out by Chen Sheng, and his body still left some hidden dangers, and now he can't participate in this Muay Thai competition, so I want to let Chen Sheng go up, I don't know what Chen Sheng means, are you willing to participate in this Muay Thai competition"

Hearing the manager's words, Chen Sheng thought for a while, he really wanted to see the famous Lumpinee Muay Thai tournament, and Boqiu was the champion fighter who rushed out of the Lumpinee tournament in the first place, so he replied:

"I don't know how long this tournament will last, I'm going to leave Thailand for the Netherlands in a week, if it's too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in this tournament, if it's within two or three days, I'll have no problem and I can participate in this Muay Thai tournament."

When the gym manager heard Chen Sheng's answer, he immediately replied with a smile:

"You can rest assured, this Muay Thai competition will last for a total of four days, starting the day after tomorrow, with a single round-robin elimination system, and the fourth day of the competition will determine the champions of each division, which will not affect your itinerary at all."

When Chen Sheng heard the manager say this, he nodded and said:

"Yes, then I will participate in this Muay Thai tournament to test the Muay Thai I have learned during this time."

The gym manager was relieved when he heard that Chen Sheng was sure to participate.

"Okay, Chen Sheng, I will report your name immediately, you are replacing Jason to participate in the competition, it just so happens that you are also a foreigner, the nature of this competition is a commercial competition, after the first round, basically the matchup is Thai local boxers against foreign fighters, the prize money is very high, the last few levels of champions, there will be dozens to millions of baht in the amount of bonuses.

Another thing I want to tell you is that such a commercial match is different from the ordinary match between Thai fighters, the match between Thai fighters, because the first three rounds of the stadium and the casino also accept betting, so in the first three rounds, the match between Thai fighters will not be very intense, there will be a lot of hugging action, only to the fourth and fifth rounds after the end of betting, it is considered to have entered the real fighting game, but the commercial competition with foreigners is different, the prize amount is high, and the attraction is large, Almost as soon as you come up, everyone will do their best to attack your opponent, so you have to plan your tactics well and don't catch others off guard.

This Lumpinee tournament has a lot of prize money, almost all of Thailand's Muay Thai masters will be competing, so you have to be prepared for some very strong opponents in the ring."

After Chen Sheng listened, he nodded to show that he understood.

Then the gym manager told everyone a few more things, and let everyone go back to training.

Chen Sheng and Boqiu walked out of the manager's office together, and Boqiu explained the situation of this Muay Thai competition to Chen Sheng as he walked.

"The Muay Thai competition at the Lumpinee Stadium is almost the highest level of Muay Thai competition in Thailand, and every fighter who practices Muay Thai wants to enter the ring of this stadium to compete, so as to make a name for himself in the Muay Thai world, so the standard of competition here has always been very high, but with your strength, there should be no problem in getting good results here, and in this kind of commercial competition, foreign fighters do not have to use Muay Thai to fight, but can also use some other techniques that they are good at fighting, If you're not very proficient in Muay Thai at the moment, then you can also use martial arts or boxing moves to compete, and I've seen the video of your previous fight in Macau, and you can fight under the K-1 rules, and I believe that with your strength, you can still sweep the heavyweight ring of Lumpinee."

Chen Sheng listened to Boqiu's explanation, and he kept nodding.

"Thank you for the reminder, I still want to try Muay Thai, which I learned during this time, this is a very good stage, through the actual combat, I think my improvement will be faster, and I can master Muay Thai better"

The two chatted for a while, then they parted ways and went back to training.

After returning to training, Chen Sheng told Frank about it, and Frank also approved of Chen Sheng's participation in this Muay Thai competition, and there is nothing faster and more impressive than participating in an official competition.

Not long after the resumption of training, the gym manager added a sparring partner for Chen Sheng, he was a little worried, Chen Sheng systematically learned Muay Thai for only a week, he didn't know Chen Sheng's current Muay Thai strength, whether he could stand in the ring for a formal Muay Thai match, so he added a sparring partner to Chen Sheng, trying to let Chen Sheng master Muay Thai as quickly as possible, to meet the upcoming Muay Thai competition.

Then Chen Sheng's training became even more intense, and the coach who taught Chen Sheng Muay Thai, in the process of teaching Chen Sheng, also began to explain to him some rules in the Muay Thai ring, so that he could understand that Muay Thai boxing matches were different from other forms of fighting, so as not to make some low-level mistakes that Chen Sheng should not have when he got into the ring.

After returning to the gym in the afternoon, Chen Sheng made some adjustments to the afternoon's training content, adding more technical and tactical training, as well as confrontation and actual combat practice with fighters in the same gym.

After the afternoon training, Chen Sheng and Frank went directly back to the hotel, and after eating and resting in the hotel, they left the hotel again, this time aiming at the Canaanlong Boxing Stadium, which is as famous as Lumpinee Stadium.

Today is the day of competition at Rajaanloon Stadium, and there will be several high-level Muay Thai matches in the evening, Chen Sheng and Frank's trip is to experience the atmosphere of a real high-level Muay Thai competition as soon as possible, and at the same time, it should also be a relaxation and adjustment to the tense life of this week.

The two, led by Amin, soon reached the street where the Rajadamon Stadium was located.

As soon as the car enters the street, the speed immediately decreases, and the whole street is completely clogged with people and traffic, and it is impossible to move at all, and these people are coming to the stadium to watch the fight.

Lumpinee Stadium and Rajstannang Stadium are now one of Thailand's most famous tourist attractions and have become a must-see for almost all visitors to Thailand, with countless tourists and local fans flocking to Thailand every day during the afternoon and evening matches.

Amin was clearly well aware of the situation, and he suggested that Chen Sheng and Frank get out of the car and walk to the gym, and that he would come over as soon as possible after parking the car and enter the ring together.

Chen Sheng saw that the situation outside was indeed no longer able to drive, so he and Frank got out of the car and began to walk to the gate of the ring.

Walking on the road, Chen Sheng found that the tourists who came and went around him were really from all over the world, everywhere, people of all colors, speaking various languages abounded, and even among them, he saw a lot of tourists from China, speaking Mandarin, it seems that this boxing stadium is indeed very famous, so that so many people come here to watch the fight.

The Rajāaan Loong Stadium is owned by the Thai government, and the revenue is mainly handed over to the government, so there are many boxing fights held here every year, three nights a week.

Walking to the main entrance of the gym, Chen Sheng looked up at the famous boxing stadium in Thailand, and found that it was not a modern gymnasium, and there was no way to compare with an extremely modern stadium like the Cotai Arena of The Venetian Macao, which was completely a sports facility of two eras, but like the gymnasiums built in China in fifty or sixty years, it seemed a little simple, but it looked quite strong, and there would be several such gymnasiums in almost every city in China, most of which were named "Workers' Stadium, Palace of Mass Culture" and the like.

The size of the building is not small, and there is no problem with holding events such as Muay Thai competitions, and there are posters of Muay Thai fighters hanging above the main entrance of the stadium, along with their historical achievements.

The two waited at the door of the ring for about ten minutes, and Amin ran over.

After the rendezvous, the trio bought tickets and began lining up to enter the ring.

They bought infield tickets, which are very close to the ring, so that they can see the game more clearly when watching the fight, and the tickets are not cheap, but this is also relatively speaking, mainly because Chen Sheng and Frank are foreigners, so the price is very expensive, while Amin, as a native of Thailand, tickets are very cheap.

Chen Sheng, who was waiting in line to enter, had already heard the sound of music floating out of the open stadium gate, very Thai-style, looking over people's heads, Chen Sheng also saw some of the situation in the stadium, the lights in the hall were brilliant, as if it was day, the audience had already entered, and the noisy and noisy sound poured out of the door with the sound of music, which seemed to instantly raise the surrounding temperature by a few degrees.

Looking at the scene inside, Chen Sheng's mood also began to become a little excited, wanting to enter the arena early to see what a high-level Muay Thai competition looks like?

He also noticed the expressions of the rest of the tourists around him, it seemed that everyone was the same, almost everyone had an excited expression on their faces, looking forward to stepping into the ring early and getting up close and personal with the national art of Thailand.
