Podcast Description
The Essence: “Velvet Discipline: The Dojo of Silk and Shadow & The Founders of Desire”Nestled on the quiet edge of Bangkok's old town, away from the neon cacophony of Soi Cowboy and Patpong, stands The Jade Dojo. From the outside, it appears like a forgotten temple—low lanterns flickering, wood carved with ancient Chinese motifs, the scent of jasmine and oud curling from its eaves like whispered secrets. But within, a world of deliberate contradiction blooms.The Roots:The Dojo is a place where hardship meets beauty—where the burdens of women from Isaan, Chiang Mai, and even beyond Thailand’s borders are delicately wrapped in fine silk and lacquered poise. Many of the women here were sculpted not by privilege, but by resilience—mothers, daughters, and quiet rebels who climbed out of generational poverty not by fate, but by finely honed performance.The Masters:A curated collision of East and West, flesh and finesse, discipline and desire.Its origins are as unconventional as its essence—built not by artists or aristocrats, but by three men ( Mark, Andreas & Raf ) from the lift and escalator industry, bonded by time, wealth, and an irrepressible yearning for something far more visceral.

“Velvet Discipline: The Dojo of Silk and Shadow & The Founders of Desire”
Nestled on the quiet edge of Bangkok’s old town, away from the neon cacophony of Soi Cowboy and Patpong, stands The Jade Dojo. From the outside, it appears like a forgotten temple—low lanterns flickering, wood carved with ancient Chinese motifs, the scent of jasmine and oud curling from its eaves like whispered secrets. But within, a world of deliberate contradiction blooms.
The Roots:
The Dojo is a place where hardship meets beauty—where the burdens of women from Isaan, Chiang Mai, and even beyond Thailand’s borders are delicately wrapped in fine silk and lacquered poise. Many of the women here were sculpted not by privilege, but by resilience—mothers, daughters, and quiet rebels who climbed out of generational poverty not by fate, but by finely honed performance.
The Masters:
A curated collision of East and West, flesh and finesse, discipline and desire.
Its origins are as unconventional as its essence—built not by artists or aristocrats, but by three men ( Mark, Andreas & Raf ) from the lift and escalator industry, bonded by time, wealth, and an irrepressible yearning for something far more visceral.
[Verse]
Bangkok streets they scream my name
Nana lights they spark the flame
Shots of fire burn my veins
Bad boys tearing through the rain
[Prechorus]
We’re kings tonight no rules to bind
Leave no regrets leave none behind
[Chorus]
Smash crash light it up
The Meat Run’s here we don’t give up
From Bangkok heat to Pattaya’s shore
Raise your glass and scream for more
[Verse 2]
Tuk-tuks roar like thunder’s bite
Bar stools shake we own the night
Soi Cowboy whispers “Stay awhile”
But Soi 6 calls with a devil’s smile
[Prechorus]
Fast and wild no time to slow
Long live the Dojo let it grow
[Chorus]
Smash crash light it up
The Meat Run’s here we don’t give up
From Bangkok heat to Pattaya’s shore
Raise your glass and scream for more
