Training Muay Thai on heavy bags is not to be taken lightly. You see the heavy bag every day! You do heavy bagwork every day. And some of you understand what heavy bags are for, others do not! As for the aspiring fighters among you, you have heard the expression "heavy bagwork"! My question however is, do you work the bag? A simple way to discover whether you "work" while training Muay Thai on heavy bags, is to ask this question: is it as difficult to throw your first kick, punch, knee or elbow as it is to throw the last? If NO is your answer you can thank me later for making it clear, the importance of heavy bagwork principles in Muay boxing!
Heavy bagwork principles while training Muay Thai boxing begin before the heavy bags are even touched. The first principle that will be exposed can be summed up by the Capitalized Word: APPROACH! Before hitting the bag with any of your Muay boxing techniques the heavy bag must be approached in a sincere, present, serious but not rigid, respectful manner. The approach on any heay bags should resemble the approach to the Muay Thai fight RING moments before stepping over the ropes and onto the canvas where you honor your lifestyle as a pugilist! The approach to the boxing ring with intent of being the victor starts well before the ring is within eyesight and should resemble your mentality before you step towards the heavybag. Every time! Training Muay Thai on heavy bags is serious business since you are training for full contact fighting and not for exercise. You are a pugilist and are in the gym to be a pugilist and not a pretty-boy!
The second principle is PRESENCE! You must be present each moment of each round while training Muay Thai on heavy bags. Each moment that you are not hitting the bag with full intention of knocking the bag of the heavy bag rack will in essence be a moment that your opponent is hitting you! Although training Muay Thai on heavy bags is not fighting, you must remain present as if you may get struck down by your opponent at any time: chin must be down, guard must be relaxed but strong, eyes must be fixed, gazed on the target. Presence during training is very important! Any qualified Muay boxing trainer, or boxing trainer for that matter understands the reality that a fighter will fight how he trains. If he trains mindlessly, is not present, not focused and simply goes through the motions to make it to the end of each round, to make it to the end of the training session, his expression in the Muay boxing ring will be the same. He will drift in and out of focus during the fight and will fight as if only trying to make it to the end of the bout!
The third principle exposed here is POWER! While training Muay Thai on heavy bags power is key! Each and every technique thrown should be thrown with as much power possible as if it were the last technique that could possibly be summoned by your spirit. The jab, the cross, knees, elbows and kicks, all techniques, should connect with the bag as if you are trying to knock out your opponent! Each and every technique should be thrown as a knockout blow.
Approach, Presence and Power. These three important Muay boxing heavy bagwork principles will give you a good base to work on while training Muay Thai on heavy bags. Follow all Muay boxing principles while training and train to do what you plan to do; fight!

Muay Thai Fighter (DVD) $21.62 Childhood friendships are put to the ultimate test when a talented emerging fighter faces off against a top underworld boxer in ART OF THE DEVIL 2 director Kongkiat Komesiri`s action-packed fight flick. As young boys growing up in Chaiya, Surat Thani Province, Piak, Pao, and Samor all trained under Pao`s brother Krang (Prawit Kittichanthira, a legendary muay Thai fighter who had in turn been trained by his own father Tew (Samart Payakaroon). When Samor is badly injured, Piak and Pao continue to train under Tew until Tew and Krang are recruited by a high profile Bangkok gym. Unable to resist the call of the capitol and largest city in Thailand, Piak, Pao, and Samor decide to travel to Bangkok as well, bringing a nurse named Sripai along to look after their injured friend. Though Sripai is engaged to Piak, Pao harbors a secret affection for the girl that he doesn`t dare mention to his friends. At first it seemed that Piak was set to take the fighting world by storm, but after his quick temper gets him banned from the sport he is forced to enter the brutal world of illegal, bare-knuckle boxing. Later, he and Samor go to work in an underworld go-go bar where Piak enters into a sordid affair with sensual dancer Warn. Before long, Pao has worked his way up through the ranks to become a famous fighter in Bangkok, his upcoming match against feared brawler Diamond Sullivan becoming the hottest ticket in town. But Sullivan is on the underworld payroll, pitting Pao directly at odds with his old pals Piak and Samor. By now Piak`s relationship with Sripan has ended, and Sripan has moved in with Pao. When Piak`s boss is killed in a deadly play for power, the hot headed brawler takes over as head of the family. Meanwhile, as Diamond pummels Pao in the ring, the brutalized boxer thinks back to happier times in an attempt to summon the strength needed to win the fight. |
