Muay Thai Footwork Drills You Can Do at Home

As your Muay Thai experience increases and you begin to establish some training milestones, you’ll become curious about what you can do outside of class. For some, that might mean extra rounds of drills with a partner or practising on a heavy bag. If neither options are available to you, however, what then? Well, here’s your answer: Muay Thai footwork drills.

Doing Muay Thai footwork drills may not be as flashy as dropping bomb kicks on the heavy bag, of course. Make no mistake, though, it’s no less important. Good footwork helps with agility, balance, and coordination—qualities every fighter must have. These qualities will not only get you out of the way of any incoming shots, it’ll put you in a position to deal strikes of your own. 

So when the gym is closed for the weekend, and you’re itching to get some practise in, you can do these Muay Thai drills at home. All you need to get started is a little bit of space, rope, and some tape.
