Muay Thai Heavy Bag Drill – Keeping Your Chin Tucked
TRY THIS HEAVY BAG DRILL TO PRACTICE GOOD CHIN DEFENSE
By Sean Fagan
This was one of the first heavy bag drills I did when I started boxing when I was younger.

You’ll get what I mean once you watch the video of this type of Muay Thai heavy bag drill:

See what I mean? There’s much more on the line now when you hit the heavy bag if you are holding money underneath your chin.

Muay Thai Low Kick Drill
PUNCH COMBINATIONS WITH LOW KICK PAD WORK
By Sean Fagan
One of my favorite types of Muay Thai pad work to do is this Muay Thai low kick drill! This is a great kicking drill especially if you have my style of fighting which is very similar to the Dutch style of kick boxing – hard hand combinations finished with brutal leg kicks.

Muay Thai Heavy Bag Drill For Kicking Balance
Heavy Bag Drill to Increase Kicking Balance For Your Teeps
From Muay Thai Guy
Movement is balance.
The body is balance. If your chest is overdeveloped, your shoulders will round forward. This is both ugly and…not so pretty on your body. If your right is dominant, you’ll forget to use your left. This can quickly spell disaster when a certain action from your opponent requires a reaction from a certain side of you.
Balance of the body and equilibrium are both necessary in fighting. A strong foundation is balance, a strong foundation is power, and power…equals knockouts. Train your balance with this Muay Thai heavy bag drill and you’ll be like a cat, always landing on your feet and always being in a good position.
