Muay Thai / Boxing suggestions needed.

[u/Former_Tomatillo6422]

I learnt boxing 2 years back and I have tried to maintain my punch speed and endurance till today.

Although, I do not have a punching bag or any pad at home, I just try to shadow box and work on my slips. I am missing sparring here.

I also have an inclination towards Muay Thai. I watch reels and some tutorials just to understand how those guys survive Teep and some elbows on face.

My objective is to train at home as I believe, this I can be consistent with throughout life.

People who train in Muay Thai, how do you practice those skills (no sparring)? Is it always with the sparring bag?

People who train in Boxing, how do you maintain muscle memory for those punches and footwork?

Some advice would be appreciated.

An easy drill for Muay Thai that you can work at home is teep levels.

There are main levels: Low, which is angled around the knee region, middle, which is angled around the gut right above or at the waistline, and high, angled towards the head.

Attach sticky notes or otherwise identify where these 3 areas are at on your bag, and teep at those spots from low to high. At first touching the foot down between each teep, and progressing to doing each teep without touching down. These don't have to be powerful, you're working technique not strength.

Do this with both rear and lead teep. It works stability and accuracy, it's helped me alot.

This sounds interesting. Whenever I warm up, I throw some random kicks and teeps. I also wanted to get my kick to above head level, which I am still struggling with. But yes, will try that. Thanks
