Google "warm ups for workouts" and you'll get 15–20 minutes for sprints. Ask about HIIT and it drops to 5–10. Same athlete. Same training week. Three different answers, none of them right. After 25 years coaching fighters who train [...]
Most fighters treat warm up sets as non-negotiable. More ramps, more time, more preparation — it feels responsible. Thorough. Like you're doing things properly. But after years of coaching Muay Thai fighters and strength athletes, I found something that [...]
A strength and conditioning coach working with fighters isn’t there to add more work. The role is to engineer clarity when training variables start colliding. Muay Thai athletes don’t struggle because they lack effort. They struggle because performance testing [...]
You know what to do. You've studied the Muay Thai training system—the training cycles, the energy systems, the session structure. You understand the principles of effective Muay Thai strength and conditioning. So why aren't you making the progress you [...]
If your strength training for Muay Thai leaves you showing up to sparring with dead legs, you're not alone. Heavy squats. Deadlifts. All the lifts you've been told will make you a better fighter. Then you show up moving [...]
Designing an effective Muay Thai training schedule is the biggest challenge for fighters balancing work, life, and the gym. You understand the training phases, but when you look at your actual calendar—with work deadlines, family commitments, and fixed class times—you likely [...]

Every January, the gyms are packed. New Year's resolutions in full swing. Everyone's return to training is going all-out to "make this year different." By February, half of them will have already quit. By the end of the year, [...]
There are four training traps that guarantee your muay thai performance never improves—and most fighters are caught in at least one of them right now without knowing it. Fighters working hard. Training consistently. But staying stuck for years. Why? [...]
Traditional Thai training produces world champions. But here's what the research says it's doing to your body — and why most Muay Thai practitioners over 30 are losing strength and power while still thinking they're training hard. I've trained [...]
Most fighters over 30 make the same backwards mistake with powertraining when time gets tight—they default to more cardio, thinking it's "safer" or more functional. The research says they're completely wrong. Here's what I discovered when I got stronger [...]
