How Much Muay Thai Training Is Really Needed? – Sound Corrected
Manage episode 433323582 series 2299138
Sound corrected version!! Many fighters and coaches misunderstand just how much Muay Thai training is really needed to achieve the best performance possible. ***Apologies for having to re-upload this episode! I completely messed up the audio with the background music on the original... Doh! A huge thanks to everyone who provided feedback—it really helps me improve these episodes.*** Generally, Thais don’t understand how to program progressive training. They throw everyone into largely the same regimen, regardless if they’re beginners or seasoned pros. And those that can’t keep up, or become injured as a result are deemed “lazy”. Even Damien Trainor shared with me in our podcast together, that after feeling like he was burning out in Thailand, he had to take a day's rest – and then nobody at the camp would speak to him for 2-weeks! And Liam Harrison has shared his thoughts on this too, explaining his experience while living in Thailand… That many top 10 stadium-ranked fighters in their late teens are giving up by the age of 21, because the training was killing them! And founder of Sumalee Boxing Gym, Dr. Lynne Miller goes on to explain how traditional Thai culture makes for slow progress when it comes to taking onboard newer philosophies. Overtraining is real and so are overuse injuries. And there’s a boneyard of discarded fighters that you don’t see. I’m not saying don’t train hard. I’m saying pay attention to your body and don’t break yourself trying to match those that have… a) incrementally adjusted to tolerate high training volumes over years of training, and b) are genetically more robust than the majority. And the truth is… Even Thais come undone when they’re training changes too much – even in as little as 5 minutes work!!
