Classes typically start with a run or cardio warm-up, then move into the following pillars of Muay Thai training:
Shadow boxing, Heavy bag work and/or Pad work, Clinching and/or Sparring and Technical drills.
Bag drills focus on building power, timing and footwork by building combinations step-by-step and building stamina through the use of varied training intervals and intensities.
Pad work is done with a partner to develop offensive and defensive combinations with Thai pads – this is a lot of fun and one of the more popular aspects of Muay Thai training. Always a fan favourite and a very effective way to learn Muay Thai.
Clinch & Knee drills is when we practice the application of the devastating knee attacks and unique stand-up neck wrestling of Muay Thai.
Technical Drills are controlled and safe partner work practicing offensive and defensive techniques, simulating fight scenarios with drills progressing to one-step and/or single-technique sparring.
