Some Muay Thai pad drills.. basically combo's you can practice.

 

Jab, cross, hook

 

Jab, cross, right elbow

 

Jab, cross, left elbow

 

Jab, cross, right knee (thrust)

 

Jab, cross, left knee (thrust)

 

Jab, cross, right kick

 

Jab, cross, left kick

 

Just go down the list and do this on pads work it in a few rounds and work on form and tecnique.

 

How to make your kicks more powerful. Don't extend your leg!!! Keep your leg relaxed and make sure that it is bent and not straight when it impacts. I have mine bent at 90-degree angle when it impacts and it hits the front of the target, not the side.

 

Step in at a 45-degree angle to the opposite side of the leg you are kicking with.

 

Pivot your foot, try to point the heel of the supporting foot at your target.

 

Turn your hips over, try to get your hips pointed at the ground, the hips are where the real power comes from. Try to get your hips to lead the kick.

 

Repetition is the mother of all skill. Just keep practicing the kick over and over again, this will also condition your shin. Don't do anythign stupid like rolling pins on your shins or beating them, that is just silly. A person doesn't feel pain in a real fight anyway, so shin conditioning isn't all that important.

 

More to come.

Thai pads are a good all round tool for all the above but you will need a good pad man to get the best out of it,he will have to know the right combinations of drills and how to hold them.

 

Heavy bag drills are good for the power,as well as it conditions your shins.

 

One tip with your shin ,roll them -don't ever tap or kick anythink that could create a hairline fracture or you have reaccuring injuries,I'd suggest pads and the heavybag filled with rubber shreddings.

 

As for the body workout,I'm not sure what you mean,if your talking conditioning then that just comes from training,roadwork(anywhere from 2-8km depending if your competing),situps (minimum of 30minutes a day) and lots of pad and bag work.

 

The grappling and knee work is best done with a partner.

 

Hope thats a help to you,train hard.

 

Cheers,

Even in Muay Thai there are different "styles". The straight leg type of kick is used to wear a person down at longer range. The bent-leg kick is used to break the opponent. I prefer the bent-leg kick, it is much more powerful and emphasizes hip power.

To make your punches and kicks stronger, do squats and push-ups. And work on your foot work aLOT!!! Keep switching and move around!! Good for small people to move around when they are fighting big people.
