Ever wondered why some fighters still swear by ‘Golden Era’ Muay Thai training—and why that mindset could actually be sabotaging your progress? If you’re following old-school routines thinking it’s the only ‘authentic’ way, this video is going to change the way you train forever. Now in my fifties and with 25 years coaching fighters, I’ve seen firsthand what works and what just keeps you stuck—no...

Fighter burnout is a ticking time bomb. Most don't realize it until it's too late – like me. The damage I did to my body in my teens and early 20s just caught up with me at age 52. Yet I managed to fight professionally until 40 without issues. The secret? I completely transformed my training approach at 25. But those early years of "old school" training? They left their mark. Like most young fight...

Muay Thai skills can vanish when most needed. Ever heard that fighting is 90% mental and 10% physical? Here's why that's misleading... This common saying assumes three things: That you already have enough 'physical' to be in the game, That it's fight time not training time, That mental and physical aspects work independently. They don't. And this oversimplification is exactly why so many fighters'...

Are you struggling to balance your day job with your Muay Thai dreams? You're not alone. Many fighters believe their career is killing their progress, but the truth is, you can learn to manage both effectively. In this video, we'll show you how to stop letting your day job wreck your Muay Thai progress. We dive deep into the real challenges, from different types of work to the often-overlo...

Weekly Schedule for Muay Thai: Stop Wasting Training Time Most fighters are doing the right training… but in the wrong order. If you want maximum results from your Muay Thai training — whether you have 3 hours or 36 hours a week — you need to nail the right types of sessions, in the right order, at the right frequency. In this video, I’ll show you: 🥊 The three session types every fighter needs ea...

Today we're tackling a crucial concept in sport performance - the double-edged sword of Muay Thai specific training. The thing is, you need enough supplemental training to build athletic qualities that show up in the ring, but not so much that you'd be better off just doing more Muay Thai instead. I'll break this down through three excellent questions from our YouTube community that approach this...

There’s a secret military strategy that can transform your fighting IQ. The OODA Loop is a tactical framework that can give you a serious edge in the ring. The OODA Loop was developed by a U.S. Air Force strategist, and it’s ideal for Muay Thai. Strategic Application... Many fighters fail here – especially in aggressive exchanges. They skip the crucial observation phase and turn it into a head-to-...

Ever felt supremely fit but wondered, “Why do I gas out in a fight?” I recently had a coaching call with a fighter who experienced exactly this. Despite being in the best shape of his life, he found himself exhausted after just three rounds. It wasn’t his fitness level – it was his  fight strategy and work-rest ratios . Many fighters make three common mistakes: Work too long without adequate rest...

One of my fighters found themselves up to their neck in a brutal training schedule... Three killer training days stacked back-to-back! This isn't what you'd draw up in a perfect world. With Muay Thai training, you must work with what you've got. Muay Thai gym schedules are what they are - you train when the classes run. And let's talk about training partners - they can change every...

This week, I received an interesting question from Orson in Thailand about using HRV as a fighter. After coaching fighters and analyzing performance data for over 15 years, I'll share something counterintuitive: Some of your best training sessions might happen on days when your HRV scores suggest otherwise. Here's what the research and practical experience shows: Recovery Scores Are Signal...

Plyometrics and weight training. Let's clear up this confusion! In Muay Thai, fighters often treat "strength AND conditioning" as one thing. But these are two distinct components: "strength" OR "conditioning." Let’s break this down... STRENGTH Training includes: • Weight room-based resistance work • Plyometric and med ball drills • Explosive power training • Tradi...

You know what’s fascinating about asking world champions for their best advice for Muay Thai? They see through the noise and cut to the chase. You may expect a ONE Championship double champ like Regian Eersel to talk about secret training methods or advanced fighting tactics. Instead, he shared something simpler – and far more powerful. One of the most dangerous strikers on the planet, standing th...

“How strong do I need to be for Muay Thai — and am I strong enough?”“Why do I still gas out in sparring, even though my cardio seems solid?”These were the exact questions an experienced fighter threw at me during a recent coaching call. Many fighters share these frustrations, and it’s puzzling. One size doesn’t fit all, and I don’t like guessing or offering vague solutions! But the good news? I di...

In Muay Thai, you  must  dig deep, but do you know when to push your limits, and when to ease off to level up? Are you the “More!” type… or the “Too Much!” type? Over the years—training myself and coaching fighters around the world—I’ve spotted a pattern. We all live on a sliding scale when it comes to challenge. And that scale moves. Push the edge regularly, and your capacity rises. But let it sl...

Most fighters believe that every session, they must train harder to win. You don’t. Both older and younger fighters alike should take three steps forward, then one step back. Rinse and repeat for infinity! I was on a call recently with a fighter in his 30s — still sharp, still winning, still putting in the work. He asked me something I’ve heard before:“Can I keep progressing the weights each week,...

The simplest way to get better at Muay Thai, is just to do more Muay Thai! I used to think soreness meant progress. If I wasn’t waking up stiff, bruised, or dead-legged, I’d wonder if I had even trained hard enough. So I’d double down — longer pad rounds, heavier bags, extra roadwork, more lifting sets. Because more work means more gains, right? That’s what I told myself… right up until my body sa...
