How To Train Muay Thai In A Pandemic

EVEN IN THE WEIRDEST OF TIMES, MUAY THAI WILL BE THERE FOR YOU

By Sean Fagan

We’re living in some crazy times right now. What sucks the most in my opinion is having your passions stolen from you. There are so many things that you can't do right now, particularly if you're an athlete.

Fortunately for us nak muays, this does not have to be the case. Training right now is a very difficult thing to do. However, you can still improve your skills and be an even better nak muay than ever!

I'm not being delusional either. Think about it. Doing things like padwork and sparring are all very important, but they're not the only ways to improve your Muay Thai skills.

One of the best ways to get better at Muay Thai, and one of the things that I’ve really enjoyed doing is breaking down fights. Everyone knows that “knowledge is power,” right? We have to live those words now!

We are living in unprecedented times but remember that we’re also living in a time where there are more resources than ever to help us improve our Muay Thai skills. Most of those resources can be found on your phone and accessed for free.

You can work on improving your flexibility so that you can move more smoothly when doing Muay Thai. You can work on bodyweight exercises to improve your pound-for-pound strength. You can watch tape of your favorite fighters so you can improve your understanding of Muay Thai. There are a lot of things you can do right now to keep growing as a nak muay and as a person.

The key right now is to make sure that you do those things that you know you need to do and that you keep doing those things! Stay consistent and you will be a better nak muay than ever when the world gets back to normal.

In today’s episode of The Muay Thai Guy, we will be covering:

• How the Muay Thai world is adapting to the coronavirus;
• How Paul and myself are navigating visa issues, business issues & training;
• How you can make improvements in Muay Thai through solo training;
• Why consistency is the most important quality for a person;
• The importance of having & nurturing positive relationships;
• And much, much more...
