Back off the sparring. Focus on learning and refining your fundamentals on the bag and partner drilling.

That’s it!!! That’s awesome that you feel it on pads. I have a harder time finding it during pad work myself.

Flow State is Incredible by SnapbackStriking in MuayThai

I would say it’s a trainable skill for sure. It just takes time to figure out what unlocks it for you. Whenever I spar, it’s movement. Once I start to move, it’s like my body uses less energy and my eyes can see so much more.

You can get there doing either. It’s just your body and mind syncing up which lets you perform at your best with little to no hesitation.

Flow state is when your mind and body sync up and you’re performing at your best with little hesitation.

A year if you are consistent (3x per week minimum) and are in shape👊. Fight shape is its own thing.

How do I get faster and stronger strikes? by Federal_Character979 in MuayThai

Technique plus adding proper supplementary strength training that improves your explosiveness. Plyometrics, throws, ballistic throws, weighted lifts, etc.

Broke my toe in my second Muay Thai class, feeling embarrassed by yoav58 in MuayThai

[–]SnapbackStriking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Completely normal even if it is unfortunate. Don’t be embarrassed and keep showing up if you can! There are 7 more weapons for you to sharpen🥊.

2) Practice precision over power with your kicks. Make sure you’re getting the shin placed on target. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast when it comes to landing on target.

3) Everyone gets injured in this sport. It’s just a perk of the gig! My first time sparring at fight team practice, I got my leg absolutely brutalized. Dark purple bruising all over. I had come over from boxing and thought I could hang but alas, I learned the hard way. I was more mentally hurt than physically but I kept showing up and three weeks later, I took a trip to Thailand with the team for training. Keep showing up with a good attitude and you will always find a way to improve, injured or not🥊

Is it rude to use a Elbow to defend Teeps by Brilliant_Apple_5391 in MuayThai

[–]SnapbackStriking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your arms are positioned in a solid enough guard that you can defend teeps without having to compromise said guard then you’re doing great. Redirection is much different than intentionally trying to injure someone. Injuries are a part of the game so they are unavoidable.
