When it comes to Muay Thai, fighters typically think of striking, clinching, and movement. But thereā€™s a crucial aspect that often gets overlookedā€”strength and conditioning (S&C).
The truth is, having the right physical conditioning can be the difference between winning and losing. From my experience as a pro fighter, I can say that S&C wasnā€™t just important; it was essential for my success, especially during my fight camps in Thailand.
Muay Thai isnā€™t just about enduranceā€”though thatā€™s definitely a big part of it. A lot of the movements are explosive in nature, requiring short bursts of power. When you throw a knee, elbow, or kick, or even engage in a clinch, your body needs to generate force quickly.
