Basic training
To develop proper Muay Thai techniques it is necessary that one must be prepared for strenuous conditioning of the body. Conditioning and proper Muay Thai techniques go hand in hand. Consistent training is necessary to toughen muscles bones and connective tissue as well as develop endurance and efficient technique. This is done with a variety of different exercises. The basics start with: Muay Thai flexibility, balance and coordination exercises. Then drilling proper Muay Thai techniques with shadow boxing, and heavy bag work. Advanced muay thai training includes: Thai pad mitt work, focus mitts, power shield, neck wrestling, attack and counter attack sparring drills (A.R.I.T.) jump rope, roadwork, and finally free sparring. See videos below.
Attack Response Impact Training is a phrase I coined and use to describe the core type of training that I do based upon the Mejiro Gym "Dutch style" Muay Thai system. It is designed to develop your ability to attack defend and counter attack as powerfully and effectively as possible. I first began doing "Full Contact Karate" with Benny "The Jet" Urquidez who is by far the greatest full contact fighter of his era in the 70's. Benny taught me a realistic approach to incorporating boxing and karate techniques together. His trademark was ring savvy and cleverness having the ability to defeat opponents (often much larger than he) with a variety of techniques. What I learned most from Benny was how to be an intelligent fighter. I later learned the "Dutch style" method of Muay Thai training from a master trainer from Holland. The Dutch fighters are known for their powerhouse punches and low kicks often knocking out their opponents with a single kick to the leg. Shuki Ron my coach, trained side by side with kickboxing legends Rob Kaman and Ramon Dekkers who was the first foreigner to win fighter of the year in Thailand. Shuki has now passed this knowledge on to me here in the US where it is rather rare. I also have many years of professional boxing training experience that I incorporate into the training. It involves drilling specific precision Muay Thai and or Boxing techniques with a training partner as realistically as possible progressively working up to "full contact" while minimizing the risk of injury. Top ranked boxers understand the necessity to have other top boxers to spar "full contact" with to sharpen their skills to increasing levels. I try to simulate this approach into our Muay Thai training. As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17
For Muay Thai I do this with the use of special protective gear that I have designed that prevents bone on bone contact minimizing the risk of injury. I compiled this unique series of training drills over the years and I am always seeking to improve and perfect my training methods. I also incorporate some training techniques from Karate, and traditional Muay Thai.
