This kind of rhythm concept in fighting is fucking fascinating

[MuayThaiBryan]

This is the most underrated part of Muay Thai that isn't enforced enough in western style gyms. This foot work and rhythm is what truly makes it Muay thai instead of kickboxing with elbows.

IMMEDIATELY ABSORBED!
Thank you SO much for this, its EXACTLY what I need to teach my fellow amateurs the basics of why rhythm is important. I've struggled with maintaining my rhythm, myself, but teaching it is a whoooole nother battle.
Please never stop being who you are, the Coach for all the Underdogs! I wouldnt be the fighter I am today without a freaking DECADE of FightTips!
You're the man!!

I'm a bassist that's just getting into muay thai. This drill resonates with me because I can see how the beats fit in with the movement. Thank you

I come from a boxing background and i love Muay Thai. Only issue transitioning over was the rhythm aspect. The realization hit me when i fought someone who trained PURE Muay Thai from someone who competed in Thai stadiums for years. It’s like difference between a pure boxer technician with crazy precision, accuracy and movement vs a “MMA boxer” it’s a VAST difference

[brandonsellers]

Long time fan. Been training independently in Muay Thai at the UFC Gym. I will incorporate this in my heavy bag routine! Thanks bro! Stay AWESOME!

[blugirl]

The title got me! I’m a beginner learning Muay Thai just started this year. I needed this! I enjoy intuitive dance, but felt like a fish out of water trying to find rhythm in a fight stance lol

[dropkickcorpse]

Very educational. More Thai March/Footwork rhythm drills please

[Paperboy]

Thnx I was a 2nd degree in taekwondo but quit and now am learning muay thai

[sudaknot]

Appreciated this. I find lots of basic footwork tutorials online but as a drummer, I’ve been really curious about how complicated it can get.

[CinematicTendency]

Awesome! I’ll be getting my kid (8) on this drill! 🔥

[johnashiru]

Got my sparring session tomorrow at my local gym here in England. Watching this for advice

[waynethompson]

I don't do Muay Thai but I do very similar drills to teach rhythm in boxing. I like the change from 1-2-3-4 to 1-2-3-and-4. You can vary that to 1-and-2-3--4, 1-2-and-3-4, or even 1-and-2-and-3-and-4. Thanks for posting!!!

[RodionPadakov]

I moved to another town recently and i have not found new gym here yet. So your videos is real gold for me now.

[sivinrosado]

You're teaching methods are always super helpful and inspiring! I've been trying to explain to my son the importance of understanding rhythm. This is now mandatory watching material.
Thank you for doing what you do! OSU!! 🙏🏽

[blitzfultime]

gotta say the way you broke that down was one of the best vids i seen.

[teufel]

Definitely appreciate this, I just started Muay Thai and although my upper body knows what to do... My legs are dumb.

[augustmosco]

This is great. I have had a tore up knee for the last 6 years, so I'm really limited, but I can do this. Thanks.

[BloodDawg]

Good stuff I was just looking for this. Thank you Shane!

[FabiusPyromanus]

This is phenomenal stuff!! Thanks a lot!
