Hi everyone. I'm comeing to Thailand for the first time. I own a martial arts school here in the states and can write the trip off as a business trip if I can get a few receipts from schools in Thailand.

I'd like to take a few private lessons from differnt teachers and document it so the trip is for business purposes. Can anyone point me in the right direction or put me in contact with some teachers? Il be in Bankock for a weekend then off into a more secluded retreat.

Thank you very much for any help you can give me.

Check this one out. I am not a martial artist but I checked this place out and it provides accommodations and meals. Pai is sort of fun place http://www.kungfuretreat.com/

What martial arts are you interested in? Thailand is obviously a very good place to practise Muay Thai.

Check on websites through Google. There is a whole raft of them on there.

Muay Thai, Chinese martial arts, Aikido, various Karate styles, Kendo, Ju Jitsu etc.

MMA there is the Bangkok Fight Lab - the instructor there is a black belt in Ju Jitsu and Shotokan, very experienced at coaching and teaching and ex champ. Worth checking out if your into that.

There is also a Penjat Silat course running in Bangkok on 3rd and 4th October if that's of interest.

Bring back some fight gear and keep them in the Dojo. Teach a few techniques to your students. I came hear decades ago and when I returned to teach....Shotokan, I started training my students on a heavy bag that was always hanging from a chain, off the chain and worked on real low leg kicks. Generating lots of power. Now I guess lots of people do this. But my students cleaned up in competition.......

Go to a karaoke bar and refuse to pay the bill. You'll get plenty of fight practice!!

Coming to Chiang Rai?

I taught Aikido in Japan for 20 years or so, and I have an internet presence, so something the tax people could check on.

Did you know Sensei Klickstein?

I was with Tohei Sensei.

Never heard of the man you name.

He was/is, likely from a different lineage system.

He was a student of Saito Sensei. He ran a dojo in North Oakland off Telegraph Ave in the 1980s.

Might be a good place to pick up a wife too....you can write her off as a business expense too when you are done

Haha somehow I don't think that will fly with IRS. But I might be able to write off her meals and entertainment.
