NEW MUAY THAI TRAINING SCHEDULE

Highlighting the emphasis of each day’s Muay Thai training sessions, this training schedule is designed for students with experience in Muay Thai boxing. If you are in good shape when you arrive at the camp and are generally a sporty person you could be following this routine by the second week, even if you are a complete beginner. Others may take much longer to build up to such an extensive and vigorous routine. Your instructor will continually offer advice to improve your Muay Thai technique. This includes, but is not limited to, setting up an attack, tricks/feints to set up strikes, defending attacks and counter attacks with various techniques and combinations.
Monday: Muay Thai sparring. Emphasis on midlevel KICKING and TEEP (push kick) and kick-teep combinations Defending the kick:

  • Leg blocking the kick
  • Grasping your opponent’s leg
  • Counterattack a kick with a teep (push kick)
  • Step back to avoid a kick
