Today, we will be going over how to improve one of the most important skills in Muay Thai and the foundation of everything: you.

Want to be able to hop around your opponents like Saenchai or Lomachenko? You need strong legs and strong balance.
Want to be able to swarm your opponents and completely overwhelm them with an unending volume of strikes from the opening bell to the final horn? You need to work on your cardio.

3 Kettlebell Exercises For Muay Thai
A TRIO OF STRENGTH-BOOSTING KETTLEBELL EXERCISES FOR FIGHTERS
By Matt Filart
In recent years, kettlebells have come into style, and it’s easy to see why. They are a pretty solid alternative to traditional dumbbells and barbells. Plus, if you are on the whole "functional fitness" train, they are a great tool.
Many people in combat sports (most notably, Joe Rogan) have been promoting the benefits of kettlebells for fighters for years at this point and it isn’t without merit.
Kettlebells provide the user with tons of options for different workouts and a unique challenge that you can’t get from other weights. The extra nice thing about them is that if you are in the market for getting your own weights, you only need one, maybe two kettlebells.

HOW TO SHADOWBOX WITH MEANING & PURPOSE

The world is suddenly at a standstill.
That’s the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic that is currently afflicting the globe. Office buildings, schools, places of worship, parks, and more are deserted as people have been asked to go on home quarantine.

Workouts For Muay Thai
AUGMENTING YOUR WORKOUTS IS THE PATH TO NEXT-LEVEL MUAY THAI
By Andrew Bryan
Should you be in shape before starting Muay Thai... or will Muay Thai get you into shape?
While it can be helpful to already be in good shape prior to starting Muay Thai, training can also help get you into shape. The concept of working out for an already demanding physical activity may seem odd, but by adding sport specific training, you can improve your Muay Thai game and increase your physical fitness.
So if you’re wanting to take your Muay Thai to the next level, it’s time to consider augmenting your workouts (not including Muay Thai) by adding specific workouts to your training regime.
Hopefully you’re already doing pad work, drilling and sparring as part of your regular training schedule. Adding in workouts outside of your Muay Thai sessions can help improve your Muay Thai, make you fitter, get you ready for a fight, and overall make you more of a badass....
