Love how you explained in the beginning what a lefty should do. Most instructors completely ignore us lefties.

Since when did kratos teach muay thai?

As a shy 37 yo mum of 3 with serious anxiety issues I recently started MT training at our local gym as a fun activity to help me get in shape, break the "anxiety" barriers and build my self confidence; and now I'm addicted! I find your videos so on point, accurate and easy to follow, and they really help me keep busy at home and in the gym as we are sadly losing our trainer and classes are being cancelled soon 😭💔 Thanks so much and please don't stop!

I am 34 and have scarcely exercised in my life. I was and remain embarrassed about my lack of coordination, strength and athleticism, but joined a Muay Thai gym a couple of weeks ago and really enjoy it. I am very self conscious when it comes to shadow boxing because of my lack of technical skill and general fighting creativity and so I am grateful for this video a lot. It has really taken a lot of the mystery out of the process and given me a lot of good ideas to practise with, thank you

I am 44 years young now. Did Muay thai from 16-28. After 28 I just let it go! 18 pro fights and 10 amateur. On Monday… this Monday! In 48 hours I am going to my first Muay thai training in 16 years! I am not! Going to try a comeback as a pro! Just thought that it’s something I feel comfortable with! And I need to take of 10-15 pounds. BUT! I’m so nervous! That I feel sick! Feel so out of shape and gun shy.. Just think of me on Monday and give me a prayer. Muay Thai is the most beautiful and awesome sport in the world! Thanks for putting these videos out brother. And it’s time for me to let that old warrior rise again. Blessings to you all! I wish you all the best! Love from A nervous old warrior! The video was fantastic 👑🙏

I had this burning need to practice Muay Thai after my workout today and looked up for videos on RU-vid and stumbled on yours. Now I am spending the last 20 minutes practicing. Thank you Sean.

Excellent tutorial , I’ve been out from MMA due to age , knee joint injuries , and skin cancer , but My 8 years old daughter is ready for training , just ordered her Muay Thai leather gloves , a belly training belt pad , and Muay Thai pads ready to go for this summer . New sub , keep on coming . Greetings from El Salvador .

Very nice man, will add this to the quarantine workout! Thanks and congrats for your work :)

I had my first session of Muay Thai yesterday (zero martial arts experience). I’m glad I found this video so I can continue to practice fundamentals in between classes. Thank you 🙏🏾

One of the best videos i've seen on YT for this. Awesome vis dude!

I have been training for years, and these drills look really good, specifically the defense and the teep drills. Excited to add these to my training.

Thanks man! As a TKD/Hapkido practitioner this is really helpful for expanding my striking drills

Greatest Mauy teacher! Enjoyed your vids for a long time now.

These are really great drills for beginners. Not hard at all and I like how you did them all twice or three times. Thanks a lot!

I recently just started muay thai training and since I'm new and have only gone to a couple classes I'm basically learning as I go but these exercises are prefect for getting a good foundation on what to work on outside of the gym so thank you for showing newbies like me!

This is super useful for improving my striking skills solo. And you're a great instructor 👍

Salute to you, sir, just followed the page, and I'm fully down to support and spread the energy. This is therapy and another way to stay active and alive. So once again, thank you.

Very helpful tutorial exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks you're the best!

Hi Sean, I'm back at it so I wanted a video with some drills for beginners and the first videos I checked out are yours. You taught me so much last year and I'm ready to train again ;-) Thanks for the awesome work!

In times of social distancing, this is pure gold. Thank you! Also as a advanced muay thai practicioner, it's always good to train the basics!

I love muay thai and can't wait to get back into it.

Thank you 😊 this was great.

Luv it! As usual Sean. Keep 'em comin'...

I like your personality and breakdown. Subbed for more details. Cheers.

Great video focusing not only on offense but defense, and right and left handers. Crafty

One of your best ones yet. This is great for self practicing when I am indoor under quarantine

Alright, I have been doing this for a few days now. So imma write all my progress down Day #1 > Practiced drill 1 that is jab, cross, hook and uppercut. > Had a hard time learning the footwork. > Spend around an hour learning this, although not continuously but whenever I had the time to. > Got immensely better at Jab and Cross, decided to leave hook and uppercut for next day. > Practiced hitting at my wall for few jabs and crosses. Day #2 > My right trap was sore as I practiced Jab more than Cross. > Attempted hook and uppercut, failed miserably and my form kept breaking. > Footwork got considerably better. > Practiced drill #1 only. > Kept aiming for a good form. Day #3 > rest day > Did soft gym session, hit PR with squats and praticed flexibility and mobility with drills like jumping squats, explosive pushups, pullups, farmer carry and a lot of stretching. Day #4 > Praticed drill #1 for the last time > lightly conditioned by elbows and knuckles by hitting the wall. Although not in excess. Day #5-9 > no workout as traps were soared and made it difficult for basic things like walking and such. > Knuckles popped out more than before. Day #10 > Practiced drill #2 AND #3, although the basics were difficult for me to grasp; this part made me feel amazing as I kept progressing extremely quick with desirable results. > My muscle memory corrected my form every time and it had become default for me. > Felt little to no pain hitting walls. > Speed increased. > My reaction time was good even before the training regime started. > Footwork is good. Day #11 > Praticed drill #4. > Did few reps per leg as I did not want to accidentally injure my legs as it's my time with such movement. > Did 2x10 drill #1 > 3x8 drill #2 > 3x12 drill #3 Will update as I progress on.

Thank you Muay Thai Guy!

Clean and clear lesson, love it. Thank you for making these videos from Phuket, Thailand.

Been doing these at work I started Muay Thai a little less than a month ago and our head coach mentions your channel after almost every class

Outstanding

Thank you for your tutorial video....

Thank you for this tutorial

This video helped alot ... especially because i did not feel comfortable with the traditonal muay thai stance i also mixed up with the dutch kickboxing stance and feel alot more comfortable thank you
