Combining a holiday with Muay Thai Training Thailand

Article by missy tezon

Thailand has long been a favourite destination for holiday makers from across the globe looking for rest and relaxation but people are now increasingly looking for something to do aside from lying on the beach and the customary temple visits. Aside from various forms of mediation, yoga and rafting as additional activities more people are developing an interest in the ancient Thai sport of Muay Thai.

The number of specialist gyms and specialists which run training sessions and structured programs are growing rapidly and establishments can be found right across Thailand from Chiang Mai to Phuket. The training courses on offer range from a single session right up to a month of intensive training and are suitable for men, women and children.

Muay Thai not only helps in developing all round fitness but can also help a person detox and build a level of self discipline. But beware, the level of commitment needed to complete a one month training course is considerable and people who do not usually engage in much physical exercise should check with their doctor before signing up.

One of the main reasons why people decide to engage in a period of Muay Thai Training Thailand is to learn the art of self defence and Muay Thai encompasses a number of different ways people can defend themselves. Generally speaking there are six recognised forms of self defence in Muay Thai, these include: Blocking, Redirection, Avoidance, Evasion, Disruption and Anticipation. After a period of time these six self defence elements can be learnt and put to good use in the event of a personal attack.

Like the majority of full contact sport, training in Muay Thai is based around body conditioning and the exercises can be quite strenuous. Running, skipping and shadow boxing are just three elements of a typical training regime that contribute to the level of fitness and also the level of toughness needed for competitive competition.

The best combination for many people would be the combination of a relaxing holiday and a period of fitness training at a recognised Muay Thai gym. To gain any long term benefit from the training regime participants are encouraged to enrol for at least a week, longer if possible. One week training and a week on the beach, surely the perfect holiday combination.

Access the Key to Becoming a Superior Fighter!

What essential quality do all champion fighters possess? Simple. They possess the attribute responsible for making all combat training applicable–speed.

Regardless of your combat style or method…you cannot apply it unless you can react quickly and respond instantly. Razor-sharp speed and reflexes are often the sole difference between winning and losing a physical confrontation.

Based on proven concepts of martial arts masters, such as Bruce Lee, this bestselling guide provides advanced training methods to maximize speed and power for combat and self-defense.

Learn The 7 Keys to Superior Fighting Speed…

1. Visual Reflexes: Exceptional visual reflexes allow you to recognize, track, distinguish, adapt to, and counter movements with precision and confidence.

2. Tactile Reflexes: Learn to instantly feel what the opponent is attempting to do by quickly interpreting the direction of his body force. Ninety-five percent of all fights end up in close range. Be prepared!

3. Auditory Reflexes: It is important to react quickly to what you hear. If you have ever experienced blind sparring, or fighting in the dark, you know the importance of this attribute.

4. Adaptation Speed: This component deals with your mind’s ability to instantaneously select the perfect action in response to an attack or opening. Learn to respond quickly, accurately, and seemingly without thought.

5. Initiation Speed: It’s not how fast you move, but how soon you get there that really counts. Train yourself to make your movements felt before they are seen.

6. Movement Speed: Movement speed is the ability to quickly transfer part or all of your body from one place to another. It is the speed that is most recognized by the public at large. Don’t be concerned with “demonstration” speed. Focus on developing the “applied” speed that will help you overwhelm and subdue an opponent in seconds.

7. Alteration Speed: Learn to quickly change directions in the midst of movement. Through mastery of body mechanics, you can develop the ability to stop your movement instantly…just in case you initiate a wrong move.Access the Key to Becoming a Superior Fighter!
