Muay Thai Training Exercises

static program of stretching prior to practicing

Muay Thai lowers muscle tonus and therefore

lowers performance potential. It was found, for

example, that performance in terms of potential

strength and bounce decreases. Some Thai boxers

are now convinced that they should completely go

without static stretching in their warm-ups and that

they should concentrate on dynamic exercises

instead. Other Thai boxers don’t share that view and

ask why they should change their warm-up routines

if their years of static stretching have proved to be

successful. When deciding on the right stretching

method, keep in mind that the scientiɹc research

has produced varying results, and that there has not

been sufficient research done into agility training.

It is important to use a stretching program in your

warm-up that is tailored to your individual

requirements. If the warm-up program includes

static exercises, don’t hold the positions for more

than ten seconds. You should also rotate your joints

and make some rapid movements after the stretching

exercises so that you are ready to perform again.
