  • Hand To Hand Combat School

In my experience, Hand to Hand Combat is an excellent way to get an ED visa in Chiang Mai (you need to live in Chiang Mai; they don't operate elsewhere in Thailand).

The earlier review is clearly from a person who:
A. Is unlikely to have ever actually participated in training at Hand to Hand Combat in Chiang Mai (based on the description);
B. Is disgruntled because he did not get a refund and thus feels the need to write a negative review, even dragging in others who have nothing to do with the case (Dr Smith has nothing to do with the issue - why "quote" him? Is that supposed quote even real? Unlikely).

I've had my ED visa through Hand to Hand Combat for almost a year now and have nothing but praise for them. From the very beginning they take care of all paperwork (and there's lots of it in Thailand), so all you have to do is to sign the various documents and show up at requested times. They also clearly state there are *no refunds* under any circumstances right at the start (perhaps they did not yet do that in the case of the previous reviewer, or perhaps they did - but at least they do so now).

The training is two days a week for two hours each time. Plus you can go there at other times if you wish. You don't need to be amazingly fit, just able to spend a few hours doing physical exercises and you get trained in how to defend yourself in various attack situations.

They have a very efficient and friendly team looking after you, advising of upcoming appointments (for example with immigration, for the quarterly visa extension) and making sure everything is always in order in terms of paperwork.

I have nothing but praise for Hand to Hand Combat in Chiang Mai, which I have found to be a great way to obtain my ED visa without having to learn the Thai language. Strongly recommended!
