Have you ever wondered what separates the best Muay Thai fighters from the rest?

In my twenties I took training for granted. I used to be able to train non-stop and I would never get injured. Sure, after a fight my shins would be busted or I would have to wait for stitches to heal, but those were easy to fix. Unfortunately, those days of being injury free wouldn’t last forever.

Warming up and cooling down before training became essential, otherwise I was at far more risk of getting hurt. Recently,...

However, if you face someone from a different fighting background, the rules of the dance change. To become a versatile Muay Thai fighter, you therefore not only need to know how...

Let’s face it, you will never be good enough to beat a fighter like Saenchai, and that’s ok. However, with enough training, you can learn to beat fighters who are technically better than you with better timing. A number of fighters have made careers off being able to take down fighters who are better than them on paper. One of the things I’ve learned from watching countless live fights in Thailand is that the better fighter doesn’t always win. I’ve witnessed fighters who had bad technique, scrape out wins against opponents who were technically much better than them. Just...
