The woman had reportedly received training advice from the man.
However, she rejected his advances when he approached her after their session, which led to the incident shown in the CCTV footage.
Thai news outlet Khaosod reported that the woman later reported her assault to the police.
Police said that they did not have enough to charge the man, but the man agreed to pay the woman a 20,000 baht (S$740) settlement fee.
The woman has yet to receive this compensation.
Furthermore, the police notified the woman that she would be questioned if the man was attacked in relation to this incident.
MS News has reached out to @RedSkullxxx and Muscle Bangkok for more information.
