no matter what muay thai and kickboxing at home you should never begin muay thai training or any
other martial arts or sport without first going through a basic warm-up program which repairs
every part of the body to subsequent action any such program should basically target three
areas the cardiovascular system the muscles and the joints so before boxer starts any serious
training his body requires a warm-up a good warm-up properly performed is beneficial in many
ways experience will always show that a sufficient amount of warming up will protect a boxer from the
muscle strain that can result from very strenuous exercise the basic purpose of the warm-up as its
name indicates is to raise the body temperature particularly that of the deep line muscles it also
stretches the ligaments and various membranes so that's the body's flexibility and consequently its
readiness for the athletic activity is increased which then accelerates the metabolic process
of the cells and also speed up reflexes among the exercises that are very suitable for
warming up are jogging running at a comfortable speed or other activities the important thing is
that they shoot cause the body to move gently and freely warm-up exercises help a boxer to find
out the degree of intensity and length of time needed to his body temperature to rise to the
right point when he's sweating freely warm-up exercises should start of a moderate rate of
speed and then accelerate until the boxer feels that his body temperature is high enough and
his circulation improved the effects of warm-up should last about 45 minutes although the
exact length of an effective warm-up varies according to individuals physique and age
in general warm up should be restricted to about 20 minutes so that it leaves the body in
condition to work maximum efficiency this is just enough time to put the body in a state where it
can move really well an abundant supply of food and oxygen has been brought to the blood in the
muscle tissue and the muscles are therefore ready to work to the limit of their ability for the more
blood sugar and adrenaline levels have been raised to optimum levels for the athletic activities
and at the end of training session a boxer should always cool down to allow his circulatory
system and other body functions to easy back to the normal state now we will demonstrate you
different styles of warm-up in different parts of thailand and you can choose which one you
like most or you can use different in different time also as i said in my telegram page fight
vision you can find moyboran style of warm-up so so so so so bye so so so swaddy cup okay shawn douglas here from fight
house thailand um i've got some questions from fight vision and the first one is what are
the differences between boxing and muay thai there's many many differences but we'll keep it
short and sweet the sweet science boxing one of the major differences is that i only have
two tools two weapons to uh to do the job and i do have limited targets right the
torso and the head to strike so a lot of the positions are quite different as well and the
wet weight distribution how i will stand sort of route myself into the floor to punch strong uh
the bladed position being a bit more sideways and um ducking and bobbing and weaving and head
movement um and those crouch positions in western boxing is quite different than in muay thai in
muay thai we will be standing a bit more upright less of those crouching positions because we have
kicks and knees coming up we also have many more weapons in muay thai muay thai to use the elbow
the knee the kicks we can also continue to fight in the clinch we can also sweep our opponent so
quite quite a bit difference in how many tools we have for the job but those are some of the major
differences between boxing and muay thai okay fighting position for me now again talking about
the frame or the window frame the hand position in muay thai it seems like we're offering up a
huge target okay because we're squaring our body there's balance between left and right it sort of
it makes things equal as far as strength wise left side to right side but there's many counters and
the conditioning that we go through to condition the core of the body is pretty extreme okay unlike
a lot of art we're able to take a lot more damage here but this is just an illusion okay it looks
open and available but it's actually really safe position okay because we're we're building an
illusion to trap and for that those opponents to try to attack into that that huge gateway okay now
the hands are lifted the shoulders are raised so this is shielding anything that might come around
to attack his head it looks very open but with subtle parries and movements and adjustments we
can cover these areas that are open for instance he can use a slight parry with this hand right
if i was to tack in in the window turn for me if i was attacking this big gate which would call
it just a subtle movement or a pair of the hand okay opposite side same thing okay so it feels
like you might be open it might feel a little like you're exposed but this position offers you
much more defense than a western boxing position especially if i was to attack
with elbows over the hands okay so we will start with a jab here try to whip out the body use the
whole body when you do the jab if you're doing your jab you try to rotate
your whole body like a whip with the punch so it gets through so when i yap i will
use my whole body all right like this otherwise it won't be the power correct
power as you can see when i whip it it's much harder uh yes uh what's what's different between
chad muay thai and falang what what what difference boxing same same thing yeah it's
the same thing so muay thai jab and a normal traditional boxing job is basically
the same yeah same same so you just rotated so basically use your whole
body and whip out your body like that um uh my god what is the best self-defense style
between muay thai or brazilian jiu jitsu and this is definitely a hard question it's
highly debatable i truly believe that it's a fusion between both of those systems would make
the best self-defense style if you're looking at styles that are developed basically for that
like rally combatives or krav um it's a it's a fusion between the two because you know fights
can mostly start standing on the feet but i'd say statistically speaking most fights will end up in
a grappling scenario or on the ground so i'd have to choose brazilian jiu jitsu brazilian jiu jitsu
definitely give you a major advantage in all those positions and it definitely helps you deal with a
larger heavier opponent and it gives you options to not just punch and kick but to submit or
manipulate a joint or a position to control that situation and end it relatively peacefully or
under control so i would have to say brazilian jiu jitsu right now so so so so all right sean here again from fight
house thailand and the third question is is muay thai one of the most or is
it the most powerful fighting style um wow that's another difficult question and
highly debatable i'd say it's definitely one of the top when it comes to being a powerful style
there's definitely some fighting karate styles that are extremely powerful too but when it
comes to delivering damage or if we're talking about ring sports i would have to say muay thai
is definitely one of the toughest ring sports um that you could compete in just because you're
forced to strike and you don't have the option to submit or necessarily stall in positions even
in the clinch or continue to fight in the clinch so i'd say damage-wise muay
thai would be one of the top but mma especially now has evolved as it's
become gives you all the options so you know mma is definitely up there but yes
if we're talking about ring sports i would say muay thai is definitely in the top top three i
hope that answers your questions i know it's uh not as direct as maybe you
would have liked them to be but that's the best answers i can give for you guys
and i hope that helps thanks a lot so eddie cup pet's going to demonstrate some basic
standing warm-ups that you'll see in muay thai very traditional hands on the
shoulders he'll rotate his arms he'll reverse direction now going back
