Conditioning Techniques for a Newbie
Muay Thai is one of the most competitive sports on the planet and the athletes who perform it are highly conditioned. If you’re interested in getting into Muay Thai check out our list of conditioning suggestions instead of spending all day on your CannonSatellite.com looking up what exercises to try
Focus Mitts/Thai bags: Similar to regular boxing bags and mitts, these are specially designed for the hard blows of Muay Thai. You can find them used online or work with a trainer to get some new ones online.
Cortical Remodeling: This painful and ancient process involves the repeated hitting of the shin bone in order to toughen it up. The bone actually becomes harder and is able to withstand more dead-on kicks as a result although this training regimen can be particularly dangerous.
Respiratory Conditioning: Like other sports, you’ve got to have endurance to do well at Muay Thai. Running and other cardio exercises are recommended for all new fighters as they can better prepare them for a long and sustained career or hobby in the ancient art of Thai boxing.
