Question

How can improve myself in muay thai iv just started and i want to more at home i need a couple of tips?

Answer 1

hmm...  muay thai, i'd suggest trying to practice the techniques outside of the lesson, mostly the kicks really.  practice them slowly to get the right form.  you can't relaly practice muay thai kicks hard without something to kick since they alwaysencourage you to go through your opponent.

other then that i'd say do some endurance exercises

Answer 2

big time shadow boxing. work your technique and stamina at the same time

Answer 3

just listen intentively and practice what you do best.

i would like to know what muay thai is though. sorry im not much of a help, just thought id give a confidence booster!

good luck

xox

Answer 4

I don't do muay thai but in my sparring (taekwondo) it move or die. Never hesitate and inch  in further and further to draw your oppenent out and when he attcks step back or to the side and counter away. Also we got taught to follow up our attacks so do at least 2 attacks to send him (or her) into a corner. Recently I watched fight science (great show) and the most powerful tested attaxk was the muay thai knee attack. Its equivelent of a car hitting you going 35mph into 1 area of the body. So get in close and if he can survive a few car hits from you he's dangerous and at that point id get out the nunchakus (but that's just me) lol. Good luck 4 the next fight.

Answer 5

try to get yourself a heavy bag and beat the c**p out of it constantly.

not to sound overly simplistic...but there are 4 keys to success in anything

1 have a good teacher and PAY ATTENTION

2 practice

3 practice

4 ....yep...practice.

often it helps to break things down. it's very refreshing to hear you say you actually want to train at home, when so many just go to class twice a week and wonder why they cant fight. good attitude.

break down....work on specific things. not just totality. with shadow boxing (which is excellent)  you are working most everything at once, but...not concentrating on anything.

practice footwork only for 20 or 30 minutes. then practice (same day..next day...dont matter) kicking only,...then practice punching only....concentrating on a specific mode can really improve your 'technique' ...then concentrate on footwork and moving...then work on slipping, bobbing, weaving, evading, stepping..etc....then work on COUNTERpunching...etc etc you get the idea.

then practice your shadowboxing/sparring by putting them all together, and then when you bring it all together again...you will be much better at all of them.

there are two points of view here. some people say you should work what you're good at. some say you should work on your weaknesses to be more well rounded.

in the gym/dojo you are always learning new things, and practicing old things you already know. and you work both...your strong suit...and your weak areas. but when you're at home....i tend to concentrate on the things that im not so good at...so when i go back to the gym im that much better at it. ...it's too easy to work on the stuff you're good at...but if you do that often times you will miss the bigger picture. and will have limited results

gary lam, a VERY GOOD wing chun instructor (as an example) doesnt teach wing chun's devastating kicks at first. why? because they are so effective that people will concentrate on them and will never develope their hand skills to match.

in enter the dragon, bruce lee's character was teaching a student and he pointed to the sky, the student was staring at the finger and bruce said....

"don't look at the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory"

...also becoming good at something you suck at...is a great confidence booster.

Answer 6

Since you've just started, practice single punches and kicks for a while, concentrating on correct body alignment, rotation on techniques and try not to let yourself start pushing for speed and power whilst learning these principles. After a few weeks of this, you should link techniques in combinations, again concentrating on form. Speed and power can always be developed later.

Answer 7

Get a punching bag and practice what you learn on it. You might want to try lifting some weight but use hi reps like a weight you can lift 15 to 25 times and no more then that.

Yoga is another good idea. Interval training is really good. Buying a book to supplement your training can really help to
