Good Muay Thai sparring should not feel like a choreographed exchange. It should ask questions the fighter has to solve in real time. Tonight’s 1.5-hour class with my client was built around that idea. The goal was not to collect rounds for the sake of fitness. It was to teach better strategy, better ring generalship, and better decision-making under pressure.

Tonight's lesson's focus was on adapting. This particular client has been consistently training with me since 2014. His lessons are 1.5 hours in length. We decided to train within different ranges with specific weapons together rather than pitting these against one another. Next lesson will take the latter approach. The order of the rounds was structured so that we regularly switched from different ranges rather than following a more linear path of adding on extra weapons. Fo
