However, Muay Thai’s secret weapon lies in its system of extremely intense physical conditioning: competitive athletes typically engage in 6 to 8 hours of training each day to be competitive. Muay Thai fighters are often considered to be among the toughest athletes to be found. It’s no secret that Muay Thai is gaining increasing popularity as one of the most effective ways to prepare for competitive Mixed Martial Art fights. Muscular Development + Cardio Conditioning + Stretching = Ultimate Fitness A typical training session begins with 30 minutes of cardio conditioning featuring jumping rope and/or running, Thai-style calisthenics (muscular development) and stretching.

Through these exercises you’ll learn how to execute combinations of punches, elbows, knees and kicks. As you advance, you will develop a solid base of Muay Thai techniques as well as a strong fit body.
