So You Don’t Like To Run. Or You Can’t. Here Are 5 Alternatives.

Muay Thai is an intense and physically demanding martial art that requires a high level of cardiovascular fitness. And of course, if you want to survive someone trying to take your head off in the ring, you need elite-level conditioning. Running is often considered an integral part of Muay Thai training, as it helps to build endurance, stamina, and overall cardiovascular fitness – all important aspects to level up in Muay Thai. However, not everyone can run due to body issues, injuries, or joint pain. Fortunately, there are plenty of alternatives to running that can still provide a great cardiovascular workout and help you improve your Muay Thai performance.

Does Muay Thai Really Teach Self-Defense?

Muay Thai is a popular combat sport known for its striking techniques that involve the use of punches, kicks, elbows, and knees. It is often marketed as a martial art that can also teach self-defense skills. However, as someone who has trained and competed in Muay Thai, I can say with certainty that Muay Thai alone does not teach self-defense. And places that teach Muay Thai without incorporating aspects of self-defense should be frowned upon.

No matter what you call it, this sport has changed lives.

Driven by economical means in Thailand, children from poorer regions of the country start training and fighting to help support their families.

This sport with humble beginnings has grown exponentially all over the world. Although most non-Thais do not fight as an economical means, their passion for the sport has helped pave the way for Muay Thai to become profitable on the international scene.
