Following the Muay Thai Guy Podcast, I’ve been getting lots of questions regarding my approach to periodisation for Muay Thai. So as I’ve just set up my new ‘green screen’, I thought I’d shed some more light on this subject via the medium of video. Yeh, I know, boys and their toys!
“How can I ‘keep all the plates spinning’ as you’ve suggested in the podcast? Are you suggesting a linear periodisation model? What about undulating, or concurrent, or conjugate sequence models?”
The list goes on… Hopefully the following video will help explain my thought processes behind the way I plan my programmes and why.
