Muay Thai Training Exercises

(Ben Green) #1

Physical Performance


Muay Thai competitors must have good bone structure
and a resilient locomotory system. The better your
physical condition is, the easier it will be to pursue a
successful athletic career. The body of a top athlete
develops over years of intensive training. Energy,
ambition, and perseverance are decisive for a Muay Thai
career. Thai boxers must optimize their physical
performance standard. This includes stamina and strength
training in addition to the training that is speciɹc to
Muay Thai along with a healthy lifestyle.


Appropriate Fight Weight


The ɹght weight shouldn’t thwart a career. As an athlete
you should compete with a minimum of body fat, as a
fully trained opponent of the same weight would
otherwise have an advantage in strength. Up to 3 percent
of body fat can be lost in a month with training and an
appropriate diet.


Selecting a Trainer


Selecting a trainer and a school are extremely important
for a competitive career, because without a good technical
school and appropriate training conditions, you won’t be
able to succeed in high-level competitions. If you train
conscientiously and continue absorbing new knowledge,
you can determine whether it’s necessary to change your
training regimen or possibly change your trainer.
