What advice do you need? As a beginner just listen to your coaches and work hard
Jacob Jenkins
dont fuck with the thai twink boy
Jason Edwards
What advice do you need? You're going to have a coach standing there giving it to you in real time...
Don't skip conditioning work if you want to be any good at the sport. Class time is just going to go over technique and give you time to do bagwork. The bulk of your conditioning is going to come from running outside of class.
Levi Watson
Just general advice, it's going to be my 3rd martial art (boxing and Kung fu previously both trained 4 years each) and i'm curious if i can use some moves that i've learned from those
Leo Torres
Don't turn your leg in so much on left hooks as you would in boxing because a leg kick to the back of the knee is death. When you throw a right cross keep your stance long instead of bringing your back foot forward because you generally want to be loading up for a kick after punching.
Jace Reed
Do extra conditioning work.
Extra push-ups extra core work extra pull-ups extra run a week.
Austin Howard
Don't train with this guy

Joshua Bell
get used to standing train tracks instead of south paw or orthodox.
Ethan Ward
Be sure to throw lots of tiger shots to zone your opponent. Don't get uppercutted
Caleb Ortiz
Hey guys another beginner in Muay Thai here. The gym I train in offers sparring but I've only been to three classes as of now. When should I start sparring? Also how do I stop getting unbalanced whenever I throw a kick? I overreach and fuck everything up.

ASAP

Parker Garcia
Get more flexible. Stretch. Spar lightly after a couple of months.
Adrian Jackson
So should spar right away or just train before? I was just thinking of doing some light sparring to learn some new techniques from the more experienced guys at the gym but I don't want to look like "that guy".

I'm about to start muay thai too OP!
I mean I've been training for the last three years, but class is coming up in an hour.
Noah Wilson
Let's do it lad !!
Isaiah Martinez
relax and breathe out when you punch, and when you get punched/block punches
if you can remember to move your head, it'll help a lot
don't kick people very hard in sparring. firstly because you'll be kind of a dick, and second of all before your shins are very tough if you catch the other guys shins or elbow or foot or something you will just hurt yourself really fucking bad and be grabbing you shin for a few minutes
that's about it. I miss it.
Levi Wright
Noob question - how hard is Muay Thai on the knees?
Had a cracked patella and a torn meniscus which healed up nicely but sometimes gives me shit after squatting

Watch these, their technique is flawless.
Pay attention to the feet and how they rotate on the ball of the foot. Pay attention to the front arm as well and the movement it performs - this is actually the most underlooked detail. Keep your body relaxed until the moment of impact.
Aiden Green
Don't ignore your injuries
Just do kickboxing without knees/elbows or low kicks to the knee
