How can I learn Muay Thai on my own?


You may learn a little on your own but it is going to be very limited knowledge.

It is better to train with others so you can monitor your progress and get extra motivation from being a member of a group dedicated to practicing Muay Thai.

It is also good to have a Khru that will pick up all the technical errors that you may make and show you how to do things the right way.

Learn Muay Thai techniques, sparring and training methods


The best thing that you can do before you sign up is to do a regular cardio workout on your own. That way you don’t have to waste your precious time at a gym improving your stamina and getting in shape and you can start with basic techniques.

That said at some stages you can make some progress on your own once you learn the basics. For example, you don’t need much guidance to do shadow boxing cause it should be your own unique expression of fighting. You can also do some heavy-bag drills on your own.

But obviously, you cannot spar on your own. And sparring is an essential part of comprehensive Muay Thai training.
