@Kool ******
many many thanks for all of this information. I did not know that a business needed to have the 2 million baht. To be honest I teach traditional Korean martial arts which goes from hyungs (forms), empty hand techniques all the way through to even archery on horseback so a real wide array of techniques and weapons. In Spain we did do alot of womens self defense seminars. Currently I have 2 associations that want me to teach using their nam, one of them is the Spanish federation for women’s self defense. With regards to the department of education I have no idea how to go about that but that is a great idea. I truly appreciate all of the information that you have given me. Many thanks again 🙏🏻

I truly don’t have the knowledge about Muay Thai to make large comparisons. I was just trying to make a point without going into crazy amounts of details. But for the older generation it’s like you said about health and fitness.

@Allan *******
Many thanks Allan, I truly appreciate your answer. I need to look more into schools as I would need a work visa and from what I see this will be very difficult and a lot of stress for the school. As you can imagine with quite a few years of studying and training there are so many things that I can cover. I don’t mean that to sound big headed. If the instructor you know has any ideas please do not hesitate to reach out. I can offer you a beer 😂. Anyway thanks again and hope you are having a good day

well I teach traditional hapkido and with martial arts is not a case of one is dying and the other is nearly obsolete. I have the utmost respect for Muay Thai but these are completely different things. It’s like a car and a motorbike, depending on the person depends on what suits them best, as long as they achieve their personal goals that is the main thing. Previously I had students over 70 years of age and they were happy that they could still train. No disrespect to Muay Thai but how many students still train over the age of 70. I send this message with the utmost respect.🙏🏻

I know what you mean about beginners but we all started somewhere with our white belts that became very dirty over time and eventually some were so dirty they became black 😂😂

In Spain it was a lot easier as you would pay about 200€ per month to be autonomous (self employed). The thing I didn’t like was having to pay the accountant every trimester to do the books🥲 but at least there was the chance of being self employed

I don’t need alot of return, just want to keep my head above water. Now it’s more the way and quality of life as opposed to trying to get rich. Maybe a joint venture 😂😂

thankyou for your reply. I did visit a TKD school a few months ago this ago. Enormous place but I didn’t see any students and the prices were very expensive
