Starting a new activity, especially one as intense as fighting, can be daunting and it’s natural to feel fear and anxiety. However, with the right mindset and approach, it’s possible to overcome these fears and thrive in a fight gym. Here are a few tips that may help:

  • Start slowly: Take it one step at a time and don’t try to do too much too soon. Start with basic techniques and movements, and gradually build up your skills and confidence as you become more comfortable.
  • Focus on the present moment: Instead of worrying about what might happen in the future or dwelling on past mistakes, focus on the present moment and what you’re doing right now. This can help you stay grounded and prevent anxiety from taking over.
  • Seek out a positive and supportive community: Surround yourself with people who are positive, supportive, and encouraging. This can help create a positive and safe environment where you can grow and improve as a fighter.
  • Remember why you started: Keep in mind why you decided to start training in the first place. Whether it’s for fitness, self-defence, or personal growth, remember that the benefits of training far outweigh any initial fear or anxiety.
  • Practice mindfulness and relaxation techniques: Mindfulness and relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation and yoga can be helpful in managing anxiety and reducing stress.
  • Be patient with yourself: progress takes time, and you will make mistakes along the way. Be patient with yourself and don’t be too hard on yourself. Remember that everyone starts as a beginner and that it takes time to improve.

It’s important to keep in mind that overcoming fear is a process that takes time and practice, but with the right attitude and approach, it’s possible to not only attend but thrive in a fight gym.

Muay Thai Advanced

Throwing a punch is a complex movement that involves coordination and proper technique. Here are some key points to keep in mind when trying to throw a perfect punch.

  • Stance: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with your weight distributed evenly on both feet. Keep your dominant foot slightly behind the other one.
  • Grip: Hold your fists with your thumb on the outside, with your index and middle fingers touching the top of the gloves, and your other fingers wrapped around the gloves.
  • Body position: Keep your body facing your opponent with your chin tucked down and your elbows close to your body. This will protect your head and torso while also providing power to your punch.
  • Wind-up: Begin the punch by turning your hips and shoulders, winding up the power in your punch.
  • Punch: Snap your punch out by straightening your arm and rotating your fist. Make sure to keep your wrist straight and your elbow close to your body.
  • Follow-through: Finish the punch by bringing your arm back to your starting position. This will help you maintain your balance and be ready for your next punch.
  • Breathing: remember to exhale as you throw the punch, it will help you to relax and generate more power in the punch.

It is important to remember that punching is a skill that takes practice to perfect, so it’s important to practice regularly and work on your technique in the gym with one of our experienced trainers.

💥Explosive Straight Punches💥

In combat sports when punching a target we contract our muscles 💪🏻 in two ways ECCENTRIC vs CONCENTRIC

Concentric movements shorten the muscles that accelerate the arm forward

Eccentric movements lengthen the muscle under the tension when making contact

The Landmine Punch Drill

✅ Is an exercise that replicates a sport specific movement
✅ Training for greater eccentric utilisation can create more powerful explosive punching
✅ Increases eccentric utilisation which can assist in explosive counter punching

For this drill we do 3 to 5 reps for 3 to 5 sets 🙏

🔥 Real Agility 🔥

During competition athletes have to react to live stimulus 💯 They have to change their body position and movements based on what is happening around them, in real time. At no point does an opponent tell you what they are going to do next and give you time to prepare for it. How good would that be if they did 🤣

Endless pre programmed drills doesn’t prepare you for real life competition so why train that way? 😳

Here’s some reactive agility drilling done ✅ at Synergy with our athletes
