  "what": "What actually happens, in order, at a gym in Thailand that takes walk-ins.",
  "story": "Two things nobody tells a first-timer.\n\n**The shin hurts before the lungs do.** A shin that has never hit anything will bruise on a pad on day one and the bruise is on the bone.\n\n**Two rounds of pads is not a small amount.** A pad round is three minutes of throwing everything you have at a man who is also hitting you back with the pads. Two of those is the ceiling for a beginner and a trainer who gives you five is not being generous.\n\n*Inference —* the second morning is the test. Everybody gets through the first session on adrenaline; the gyms are full of people who did one and full of people who did sixty, and almost nobody in between.",
  "how": "Run. Skip. Shadow. Wrap hands. Oil on the legs. Two rounds of pads, or three. Bag. Clinch if they clinch beginners. Sit-ups nobody counts. Stretch. Two hours."

  "story": "สองเรื่องที่ไม่มีใครบอกคนมาครั้งแรก\n\n**แข้งเจ็บก่อนปอด** แข้งที่ไม่เคยกระแทกอะไรจะช้ำจากเป้าตั้งแต่วันแรก และรอยช้ำนั้นอยู่บนกระดูก\n\n**เป้าสองยกไม่ใช่น้อย** หนึ่งยกเป้าคือสามนาทีของการออกทุกอย่างที่มีใส่ชายที่ตีกลับด้วยเป้าเหมือนกัน สองยกคือเพดานของผู้เริ่มต้น และครูที่ให้คุณห้ายกไม่ได้กำลังใจดี\n\n*อนุมาน —* เช้าวันที่สองคือบททดสอบ ทุกคนผ่านรอบแรกได้ด้วยอะดรีนาลีน ยิมเต็มไปด้วยคนที่ซ้อมไปหนึ่งรอบ และเต็มไปด้วยคนที่ซ้อมไปหกสิบรอบ และแทบไม่มีใครอยู่ตรงกลาง",
  "how": "วิ่ง กระโดดเชือก ชกลม พันมือ ทาน้ำมันที่ขา ซ้อมเป้าสองยก หรือสามยก กระสอบ จับคอตีถ้าที่นั่นให้มือใหม่ทำ ซิตอัพที่ไม่มีใครนับ ยืดเส้น สองชั่วโมง"
