Thai Kickboxing Movement Drills

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Andrew Bridden here on behalf of expertvillage.com talking about Muay Thai kick boxing. This is a drill we use for movement basically this drill teaches use how to use the ring, move around the ring and use it to our advantage. It also teaches us proper spacing in our feet. So I'm just going to move towards a reference point in the center of the ring. In this case the bag and as I move I'm keeping my feet equally spaced and I'm on the balls of my feet. We would go all the way around the ring like this advancing the throw, punches as we come in, movement, moving laterally forward. Just all kinds of different drills to improve my foot work. We could also make a little more difficult and improve our shoulder conditioning and our endurance have weights in our hands. So you do this for a while and eventually your shoulders would start to burn, your legs would start to burn. Then when you take the weights off you will feel right there. Like that and you just get use to really moving around utilizing the whole ring to your advantage. Cause what you don't want to do in Muay Thai is stay stationary and just sit here and try to slug it out on someone. You would get knock out that way so moving is crucial. That is just one of the drills that we do to improve our mobility in the ring."
