The Camp Inspired by the Series
People of Bangtao started as a YouTube series by Peter Forneck to give an inside look at life at Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA—training, the team, and the community behind one of the world’s top fight gyms.
Now it’s more than a series. It’s a full one-week training camp.
Join Peter in Phuket, Thailand for 7 days of real training, good people, and a chance to experience Bangtao the way it is—no fluff, just hard work, fun sessions, and everything in between.
You’ll train alongside Peter, take part in multiple disciplines including Muay Thai, MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Strength & Conditioning, and get access to exclusive private group sessions throughout the week.
Whether you’re coming to improve your skills, meet new people, or just see what makes this gym special—this is your chance to do it all in one week.
