Muay Thai Monday: What Are The Best Tips For Training Solo?

Last!

I train myself all the time. Once you get the hang of it it becomes awesome

can you live off being a pro muay thai fighter or do low level to average pros still work a full time job

good work sean.By the way, in my home i cannot find a place to hang a heavybag so i asked from a friend to give me a tire .Will that work as a substitute?

Outstanding video! This content will be valuable to so many people and answers a gang questions that'll help those who don't have the luxury of a camp etc. BOOM!

Thank you Sean

Brilliant video mate. I did muay thai at a great gym for about 2.5 years but due to various factors I had to stop, so have been shadowboxing 3x a week and doing bodyweight exercises and I'm in pretty good shape because of it! Guilty of switching off sometimes during shadowboxing! Plan to do get back to gym at some point.

Dope video dude!!!!!

Thanks for the tips.

Hey Sean, great video! I am thinking of buying one of your muay thai guy tank tops but I don't know if I am am too small to get one.I am 5'3 113 pounds, do u think I should get a small or is that too big?Thanks!

i have a blow up doll i was thing about filling it up with sand and hang it for training....

awsome video very helpful

Hi Sean!

Do you think it's possible to become a decent Muay Thai fighter training solo? I moved to a small town recently, so all my training has been solo recently.....

Thank you, very good man
Respect from Italy

how many minutes do you normally shadowbox for to improve your fighting style

Sean, what do you think about knife defense/ knife fighting ? Have you ever tried to adapt knife to Muay Thai ?

really good tips

I love these vids! Very informative and helpful and for such a badass martial artist Sean just seems like a super cool guy! Good to see a good guy doing good things! Keep the vids coming Sir!

thank you.

Cool. Thanks for this video.

My uncles is in the MMA for Muay Thai

I don’t have a place to hang a heavy bag. Should I get a stand and a heavy bag or get a freestanding bag?

Talking too muchh show somethin://instead

Your videos are amazing dude

When I didn't have a heavy bag I used to punch an old mattress leaned against the wall.
Although, I have a heavy bag for 10 years and still couldn't figure out where to put it... -.-

sean send me and my son that cool shirt bro. love you man

You can Deffidently learn the BASICS of any martial art . I break my training into 5 points 1. Cardio 2. Strength 3. Flexibility (for muey Thai and yoga ) 4. Technique ( which can be sparring, heavy bag studying videos shadow boxing ect) work on perfecting my techniques and strategy 5. Mind ( meditation, motivation videos , studying how to stay calm before a fight during after study on being more confidant hearing advice from fighters ect . The mental game is the most important

Awesome video man, i have seen the same benefits from filming myself as well. I had no idea i kept on dropping my hand before i jabbed, not only opening myself up for a shot, but giving my opponent a signal that i was about to throw a jab.

People are often worried about filming themselves because they think its vein, but it is a very important part of improving.

Fat Shredder Kickboxing link is pure clickbait / fake link... Not sure what this is doing here.

You can get a good training when you have a jump rope and a heavybag but you will never push yourself that hard as in the gym and jou cant spar and train pads

Sean, can you please recommend a good heavy bag. I´m training kickboxing in gym, but it is closed. I am training shadowboxing but i want to train on bag.

Hey Sean can u plz make a video on the muay Thai punching combos (only punching with ri8 footwork). How can we make better combos for beginners with the perfect footwork so that the shadow boxing could be effective???

Do you think it is worth continuing if i had a TBI after 2 years of muay thai. Id like to still hit pads but can you really progress any further without the sparring involved?

tips on using the tyre heavy bag?

Do we need to do the repetition in muay thai exercise?I mean for example do we need to do 3 round of push up in muay thai also like they do in the normal gym or just one set of each exercise is enough?

Would you recommend a freestanding training bag if I have nowhere to hang a heavy bag? Thanks!

I thought self taught can never be useful this really motivate me!

Thank you!

When did you start with muay thai?

I hate shadowboxing. When I meet with my homie we rather do some shouldertapping for warmup, drills and an hour long sparring. Wouldn't deduct time from sparring just to do some shadowboxing. The reason for this I see a lot of people looking great shadowboxing with no opponent. But once sparing starts this beatiful solo dancing seems useless. For me Martial arts needs to teach how to actually fight. Not how to look fancy. But maybe thats just my opinion.

Edit: I still do it but outside of my workout like in kitchen while I'm waiting for my coffee etc.

Why does he remind me of Jaxblade? LoL

Also, was really helpful, as I wanna do Muay Thai too, only there is nowhere near me where I could train it with other people. So I've been watching your videos, among others, also matches, for technique(s), guides, tips, training, etc.

Would be cool to get out there....

Yes sean is right especially if you follow his workouts as well. On the heavy bag

Hey Sean, Can i condition my shins by kicking a heavy bag filled with sand? is it better than a kicking normal heavy bag?

I was researching opinions on the internet about whether you can learn and practice alone, since it is not always easy to find a good coach or gym, it is good to hear this since it is very frustrating to read many people saying that you CANNOT

thanks a ton for answering my question sean! i will work on visualization while training in order to get good training in!!! And specially the athletics base i am now working on it, starting to do some weights and bycicling!
