Muay Thai Training Exercises

who their opponent will be as well as the framework of
the ɹght, the trainer develops a training program tailored
to the individual requirements of the athlete that includes,
for example, how much weight will be lost and preparing
for the opponent’s fighting style.
After the ɹght, the training intensity is slightly reduced
to allow for regeneration of the athlete. For several weeks
a new cycle proceeds that allows the current performance
level to be maintained and that eliminates weak spots in
performance. As soon as the date for the next ɹght has
been set, the trainer will develop a new competitive
training program.
Fights can be also agreed to on short notice—for
example, if another athlete is unable to compete and the
promoter has to ɹnd a replacement. Thai athletes in the
lower weight divisions frequently compete in numerous
ɹghts, which requires them to train at high intensity year-
round so that they are ready and ɹt for a competition at a
moment’s notice and are able to accept such offers.
