Training
Every day in the early morning hours, when it is not too hot
yet, we start off our thai boxing training at the Sairee Boxing
Stadium. We will shortly brief you about today's goals and begin
with a warm up to get your body ready for action. If the morning
hours don't suit your holiday plans, no problem, we also hold
daily training sessions in the evening when it cools down again.
Learn
the martial art of thai boxing, either for self defense, or
to compete professionally. The training consists of skipping
rope and shadow boxing which is a good way of stretching and
warming up. Running up and down on short distances will help
to improve your foot work and you will learn many new techniques.
The
warm up training is followed by bag work. We'll start with a
3-5 minutes round of punching, kicking, kneeing and elbowing
a kick bag to increase your stamina and the power of all your
physical weapons.
By
now you should be heated up and ready for some pad training,
were the trainer wears shin guards a stomach pad and two pads,
held in his hands, so he can interact with you and make the
training more exciting. This part of the boxing training will
help you to figure out distances and speed up your reaction
time. Depending on your condition those rounds are as well set
to 3-5 minutes.
Clinch
training will follow where you practice close ups, knee strikes
and elbows techniques as well as grappling foot work for 10-30
minutes depending on your strength and fitness.
To
cool your body down slowly, we will finish up each thai boxing
training session with some light shadow boxing, sit ups to strengthen
stomach muscles and stretching. This will increase flexibility
and help to stop cramps and torn muscles If you are training
to fight we will also add running to your training schedule.
If
just want to lose a few pounds and don't want to train for fighting
we will work out a special training program for you. More Information
