Thai Boxing is the national sport of Thailand. Thai Boxing in Thailand is a big name. It is a form of martial art. Whether you are an unfit person or a dedicated boxer if you go to Thailand then you will also love Thai Boxing and love to take training.

One of the most arduous, draining, and terrible experiences I’ve ever had was learning Thai Boxing in Thailand. Additionally, it was among the most enjoyable and unforgettable. Being able to focus solely on a sport was a truly exceptional and satisfying experience.

Thai Boxing Training in Thailand

Fighters typically train five to six days a week, with a morning or afternoon run followed by two sessions lasting between two and three hours each. Naturally, you’ll need to set your own restrictions and gradually increase them as your fitness level increases. The training schedules of each camp will differ somewhat, but I’ve described below what a typical day was like for me.

  • 15–30 minutes skipping rope or running (In Thailand, heavy plastic ropes are used for both cardio and upper body exercises.)
  • Stretching and wrapping hands
  • Technique (combos, clinch, footwork, etc.) for 30 minutes.
  • 5 rounds of 4 minutes each of heavy bag work
  • Pad work with a trainer one-on-one for five rounds of four minutes each.
  • 4 minute rounds of sparring or clinching (alternating days)

Common cool-down exercises include at least 100 knees, round kicks, and elbows to the heavy bag, 100–200 sit-ups, and an excessive number of push-ups. The trainers would typically instruct us to perform 10 to 20 push-ups in between rounds of heavy bag, pads, and sparring. After stretching, go rehydrate, eat something, and unwind until the afternoon class starts. With a few minor exceptions, the afternoon session would be nearly identical to the morning session.

Start out slowly and increase your speed as your stamina permits. Your immune system will be weakened by such frequent and intense training (especially in a tropical climate), and staying home sick in Thailand is a waste of time. Allow your body to acclimate to your schedule.
