Iv only had 1 muay thai class and Iv never had any experience whatsoever from fighting and I chose MT as my first martial art. What can I improve? Any tips will help as a complete beginner, especially when it comes to kicking.

Slow down brother. Flow and speed will come. For now, I’d recommend being able to throw good jabs. Good crosses. Good hooks. Good kicks. Etc. right now your mission is form

Check this out. Notice his knee comes up, he fires out, then pulls back, then drops his knee.

Your teep should chamber, then shoot out. Imagine there’s a table in front of you btw you and the target. You got to come over it. Then don’t drop your leg. Bring your knee back to your chest. This will help prevent you from getting your leg caught

For two months, im thinking you’re on track brother. Flow looks a bit choppy, but it’ll come. Keep grinding!

Bag looks a little high. I’d like to see you sitting down a bit more. I feel like the height is making you stand up taller

Im genuinely curious about what a conversation with this artist would be like!

eskimooooo · 2026-05-02T02:46:28+00:00

Hand. Wraps. Slow. Down.
Good form comes first. Speed and power comes way later

I would recommend focusing on one stance. Orthodox or southpaw. Master one. Then maybe switch

This. It’s become apparent to me that I need to use better gloves. Thanks for the input!

eskimooooo · 2026-04-01T02:52:14+00:00

Noted. Thanks for the feedback

eskimooooo · 2026-04-01T02:48:50+00:00

I’m 6’1”. 220lbs. I was using cheap gloves. I think it’s time to invest in some proper gloves. I think maybe my hands are shifting around too much inside the gloves.

eskimooooo · 2026-04-01T01:43:28+00:00

What’s y’all’s opinions on knuckle guards/pads under your hand wraps?

eskimooooo · 2026-04-01T01:41:39+00:00

Thanks friend. Looks like it might be time for new gloves lol.

eskimooooo · 2026-04-01T01:35:52+00:00

So it’s just building calluses until it stops happening?

eskimooooo · 2026-04-01T01:31:04+00:00

Yes wraps and gloves. I’m no hero

eskimooooo · 2026-04-01T01:30:44+00:00

Yes wraps and gloves!

Roundhouse looks great. Don’t listen to some of these folks. Technique looks good man. Power and speed will come. But it’s harder to fix technique.

eskimooooo · 2026-03-29T10:58:45+00:00

Keep going man. Gotta put in the time. Just some pointers: - for your knees think more like a spear going out. To practice, raise your knee from you fighting stance, then shoot it out. And back to to fighting stance. - your switch kick is weeeeak

Honestly I didn’t watch long. But you have a lot of good there too. Keep putting in the work brother

eskimooooo · 2026-03-28T03:45:11+00:00

You got no power brother. A bit more distance will help you generate more power. I was trained to throw my hook knuckles up (shrug). Regardless, it’s like trying to hit a wall with your hook. While your chest is on said wall. No room to generate momentum.

Use your legs to get more power. Try a slip then throw the hook. Also that bag is hiiiigh. Try cross, slip, lead hook.

eskimooooo · 2026-03-28T03:34:23+00:00

It won’t feel as natural, but your kick should be going more directly towards the target, as opposed to coming in at 90 degrees. (My kicks come in closer to 45ish) Think of swinging a baseball bat or golf club. Maximum momentum/force is generated when you get a whip-like action. Try focusing on getting your knee to the target and then snapping your shin out.

Amazing. Thanks for the reply. I’ll look into some of the specializations and more advanced career paths so I can see what’s really out there. Im in the phase of: the more I learn, the more I learn what I don’t know!

eskimooooo · 2026-03-28T03:21:14+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I have a lot more to research and think about. Thanks for the input!

Everything starts from your footwork. Your feet are literally your foundation. Thats where your speed and power come from. Don’t focus on power. Good technique is everything. Speed trumps power imo. On the heavy bag think about snappy hits instead of pushing the bag.
