OVERVIEW

Angkor Fight Club is a small gym just to the west of the city offers classes in Muay Thai, mixed martial arts and Crossfit, and it does it at prices you’d be hard pressed to find in the West, which might be why it is gaining so much in popularity. That, and the growing attraction of sports like UFC (ultimate fighting championship) to public audiences.

Video Travel Inspiration

We are a gym specializing in Boxing, Khmer Kickboxing, MMA and Crossfit. The focus of our gym is to provide students the highest quality training available with the best coaches around, in a safe and positive learning environment that people of all ages and levels can enjoy. Angkor Fight Club is the only gym in town offering regular classes for several years. We have a 5m x 10m matted grappling area for MMA, a 5m Boxing Ring, 7 Heavybags, Punch Mitts, Kick Pads, Gloves and lots of other gear for public use.

At AFC, they hold kickboxing classes at 18:00 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday for beginners and intermediates, and at 19:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays for intermediates. It might seem intimidating at first, but kickboxing is fast gaining a reputation as an ideal sport for improving cardio and muscular fitness, and there’s no questioning its ability to blow away fat and pack on muscle in its place. It’ll also hone your reflexes and tone everything up. The classes can be as tough as you want them to be; they’re run in such a way that that you will be challenged if you push yourself, but they also give you the space to take it easy if you still need to catch up on your fitness. No one here is going to judge you — this is not a macho, testosterone-fuelled bear pit — a good proportion of the regulars are women (kickboxing-addicted Travelfish included). Those trained to a higher level will maybe not get so much out of the 18:00 classes, but there is also a solid core of fast and powerful local guys who train at AFC and are often up for a spar. There is also pad holding on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 10:00. (Check though to ensure schedules haven’t changed between now and your trip.)

Mixed martial arts incorporates elements of a variety of disciplines, as the name suggests, and training is every Monday and Wednesday evening at 19:30.

The main coach/owners are both professionals, and other international coaches join in from time to time. The conditions are not luxurious — there’s no air-con, for instance — and the atmosphere is more like an old school local gym than high-class sweat palace. Princesses, of either gender, might not be up for it, but if your aim is to get fitter, stronger and faster, we think it’s a million times better, more fun and more value for money than pretty much anything else in town. As stated above, the atmosphere is not balls-to-the-wall gung-hoism, but based on friendly, professional and positive encouragement. The rates are $6 for a drop-in class, or $40 for a month’s membership. If you only want to do Crossfit, you can join a class for $6, or get a monthly membership for $15.

How to get there
Getting there is not necessarily the easiest, even if you have a map. The best way is to hop onto a tuk tuk or moto and ask them to take you to "Bakheng Road" ("plau bakheng"). Almost all of the drivers know where that is. You will know you're on it when you start to leave the tightly packed buildings of the town centre and cross a small road with a narrow canal alongside), then the space on the left opens up to a sandy open field topped off by a large, modern, ugly and mainly uninhabited building complex. Angkor Fight Club is there, on the right hand side of the road, just before it takes a hard left.
