×The simplest way to get better at Muay Thai, is just to do more Muay Thai! I used to think soreness meant progress. If I wasn’t waking up stiff, bruised, or dead-legged, I’d wonder if I had even trained hard enough. So I’d double down — longer pad rounds, heavier bags, extra roadwork, more lifting sets. Because more work means more gains, right? That’s what I told myself… right up until my body said otherwise. Turns out, chasing exhaustion isn’t the same as chasing excellence. And that’s where Bryan Popejoy flips the script...

Thailand Muay Thai strength and conditioning is often stuck in its ways. “Train hard and you’ll get results,” they said. But what happens when you train hard... and the results don’t show up? Angela Chang knows that frustration inside out. She didn’t slack. She didn’t skip. She trained like a machine—morning runs, hours on the pads, heavy bag, clinch, sparring, rinse and repeat. The Thai way. The “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” way. Except… something was broken.She felt flat. Worn down. Like she was pouring more and more in—and getting less and less out…KEY MOMENTSFollow along using these quick timestamps: 00:00 Stubbornness Can Be a Strength—Until It Isn’t 00:31 Push-Ups, Sit-Ups, Pull-Ups… and a False Sense of Progress 00:59 The Hidden Gap: Skill Without Strength Is a Dead End 01:44 Cultural Habits Can Be a Cage—Unless You Think for YourselfFurther notes and resources at https://heatrick.com/2025/04/25/is-thailand-muay-thai-strength-and-conditioning-ok/…
It’s easy to avoid the stuff that actually builds you up—especially if you’re only training from fight to fight. You’re in the groove, your bread-and-butter combos are sharp… until you touch the awkward stuff. But that “awkward stuff”? That’s where the real gains are. When I spoke with Professor Tony Myers—a legend in the world of Muay Thai—he shared something crucial: Skills are perishable. They come and go. You don’t just ‘have’ them. You’ve got to keep developing—mentally and physically. Otherwise, they slip. Too many fighters think training hard for six weeks before a fight will solve everything. It won’t. Still just training fight to fight? This episode will show you what you’re missing.

Ever wonder why some fighters look completely unfazed… even when they're eating clean KO shots?It’s not just that they’ve got a chin. And it’s not just experience either.A punch doesn't knock you out just because it's hard. It knocks you out because your head moves.More specifically, because your skull moves—and your brain doesn’t.That little delay is all it takes for your brain to slam into the inside of your skull. That’s the knockout.Mike Tyson’s famously thick neck wasn’t just for looks. It made him ridiculously hard to knock out.You can do the same—without having to bulk up like a Marvel character.Here’s how:-Brace your neck.Deliberately push your head into your gloves when you’re in your guard. It switches your neck muscles on and helps absorb the impact.-Engage your lats.Think of your elbows as tusks. Squeeze them in with purpose—it’s not just “hands up,” it’s “structure on.”-Adapt to the range:Long range (Green): Relaxed but ready.Mid-range (Amber): Structure engaged.Close range (Red): Hands tight, head braced—go full crash helmet mode.This way, even if they land a shot, your brain doesn’t get rattled.You stay standing. You stay sharp. You stay dangerous.KEY MOMENTSFollow along using these quick timestamps:00:00 Introduction 00:10 What Really Causes a KO 00:44 Strong Neck = No Whip, No KO 01:33 Your Guard Isn’t Passive—It’s a Shock Frame 01:51 Range Awareness = Guard Readiness 03:22 A Crash Helmet Saves You 04:07 From Cover to Clinch: Turning Defense Into Offense 04:37 Confidence in Your Shields Further notes and resources at https://heatrick.com/2025/04/11/become-ko-proof/…
To both fight smart, and keep it simple, isn’t a contradiction. But in the heat of battle, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by tactical decisions... Do I press forward or stay patient? Do I counter or attack first? Should I stand my ground or move? I used to overthink every exchange—until I simplified everything to just two primary fight modes; Aggressive/Elusive. Once I built my strategy around these two modes, my performance skyrocketed. If you know when and how to switch between them, you’re in control—no matter who’s in front of you.

There's a secret to advanced Muay Thai footwork. A hidden rhythm in every fight that no one talks about—if you’re not controlling it, your opponent is.They’re "stealing your step", keeping you reacting instead of attacking on your terms.The Secret to Controlling the Fight...Most fighters naturally step from foot to foot, right?That movement creates a rhythmic bubble—expanding and contracting as you and your opponent adjust distance.If you can disrupt that rhythm, you can dictate the exchanges.This is where “stealing the step” changes the game.Aggressive vs. Elusive Sway* Aggressive Sway: When you both step onto your front foot at the same time, your heads move toward each other. This loads up your power shots while they step into range.* Elusive Sway: When your opponent steps in and you shift back, their strike falls short. Now, they’re exposed, and you can counter with precision.This isn’t just movement—it’s control. You’re making your opponent fight on your timing, not theirs.KEY MOMENTSFollow along using these quick timestamps:00:00 The Bubble of Range – Understanding Distance in Muay Thai Footwork00:44 Stealing the Step – A Hidden Thai Secret01:07 Aggressive Sway – When the Bubble Collapses02:10 Elusive Sway – Manipulating Distance for Defense02:37 Recognizing and Controlling the Sway in Real-Time03:34 Don’t Overthink It – Feel if the Bubble is Compressing or ExpandingFurther notes and resources at https://heatrick.com/2025/03/28/advanced-muay-thai-footwork-stealing-the-step/…
Are you asking the right questions during a fight? The fight isn’t just about power—it’s about strategy and problem-solving...Your brain is wired to recognize patterns and make split-second decisions based on experience.Sometimes, that gives you razor-sharp reactions. Other times, it leads you straight into danger.Every weight class has its own typical balance of strength, speed, and reach—and every fighter instinctively calibrates to those expectations.But the best fighters don’t just recognize patterns–they break them.A Muay Thai fight is a race to figure out your opponent before they figure you out.So when your opponent seems like that monster with all the answers, don’t panic.They don’t have you figured out—you just haven’t figured them out yet.KEY MOMENTSFollow along using these quick timestamps:00:00 Introduction 00:32 Fighting Is Like Driving a New Car 01:37 Respecting Differences in Relative Range 02:12 Three Questions That Shift the FightFurther notes and resources at https://heatrick.com/2025/03/21/asking-the-right-questions-in-a-fight/…
Your Muay Thai fight IQ isn’t just about what you do best—it’s about what breaks your opponent. The key? Adaptability.You can’t force your favorite game onto every fighter. Instead, you need to recognize their style and adjust accordingly.Winning a game of rock-paper-scissors against someone who only ever throws rock is easy!Now, imagine stepping into a Muay Thai fight with someone who does the same thing—same attacks, same rhythm, same predictable game plan.If you know what’s coming, it’s only a matter of time before you crack the code and take over.But what if you’re the one stuck in a pattern? What happens when your favorite strategy isn’t working?I’ve been there. And so has every fighter who’s ever stepped into the ring.The problem? Sticking to one fight mode instead of adapting.The solution? Understanding Muay Thai Fight IQ—knowing which mode to use, when to use it, and how to switch gears mid-fight.Too many fighters think their style is set in stone.But this week’s episode breaks that myth—showing you how to fluidly switch fight modes and become your opponent’s worst nightmare.KEY MOMENTSFollow along using these quick timestamps:00:00 Introduction 00:44 The Aggressive Fighter 01:41 The Tricky Fighter 03:01 The Counter-Fighter 03:44 The Elusive Fighter 04:25 Fatigue and Switching Fight Modes 05:01 Fight IQ in a NutshellFurther notes and resources at https://heatrick.com/2025/03/14/muay-thai-fight-iq-master-switching-fight-modes-for-any-opponent/…
Do you tend to fight on instinct, not quite sure what your actual fight strategy is? Maybe you’re great at pressing forward, but struggle against elusive opponents.Or perhaps you prefer to counter, but aggressive fighters throw you off your game. Every fighter has a natural, primary fight mode, and understanding it is the key to levelling up your game.Although, your fight mode alone isn’t enough. It’s when you combine your Fight Mode (how you engage) with your Fight Range (where you engage)—as discussed in last week’s episode—that your full fight strategy takes shape. This combination is what defines your fight style. The Four Main Fight Modes... At its core, Muay Thai fight strategy revolves around four key fight modes—aggressive, elusive, counter, and tricky. Most fighters lean heavily toward one mode, with a secondary they switch to when needed. But the rare ‘complete fighters’ can flow between all four seamlessly, adapting to any opponent. Understanding these modes is the key to reading your opponent and refining your own game.

Ever watched a Muay Thai fight where one guy just seems one step ahead the entire time? No matter what his opponent throws, he’s already gone—or already in his face, shutting everything down. It looks like magic, but it’s not. It’s range control. And if you’re not thinking about it, you’re giving away fights before they even start. Why Techniques Alone Won’t Save You... Most fighters get obsessed with perfecting techniques. Sharper combos. Faster kicks. Better defense. But here’s the thing: Techniques are just tools. If you don’t understand when and where to use them, you’re just throwing weapons into the void, hoping they land. Winning fights isn’t about memorizing moves—it’s about controlling where the fight happens. That’s what separates tactical fighters from brawlers. Strategy first, tactics second.KEY MOMENTSFollow along using these quick timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 00:33 Strategy vs. Tactics: The Big-Picture Approach 01:17 Breaking Down the Ranges 02:18 How to Exploit Your Opponent’s Weaknesses 03:23 The Flow of Range Control in a Fight 04:38 Your Body Naturally Selects the Right Weapon Further notes and resources at https://heatrick.com/2025/02/28/mastering-muay-thai-range-control/…
Ever feel like there’s too much conflicting advice on training? One coach tells you to run every day, another says it’s a waste of time. Some fighters swear by cutting hard and fast, while others say slow and steady is the only way.So which is it?This week, while helping the new Heavy Hitters intake get set up, I pulled two big questions from our YouTube comments that cut right to the heart of these debates:* How much running actually benefits a Muay Thai athlete, and when does it start hurting performance?* Should you cut weight aggressively or focus on slow, steady body recomposition?Let’s clear things up.KEY MOMENTSFollow along using these quick timestamps:00:00 Introduction00:26 Question 1 How much running?01:01 Avoid More of the Same01:20 Plug Gaps in General Fitness Adaptations01:43 Targeted Cardio = 3x Sessions Per Week01:57 Avoid Long Steady Cardio Over 60 mins02:09 Fighting Demands 6–15 mins work02:30 Minimum Training Dose02:55 Aerobic Capacity–When?03:26 Question 2 Lean first or go for slow fat loss?04:24 Muscle is Hard Earned & Easily Lost04:43 Focus on Performance Not Body Weight05:12 Nutrition to Hold Onto Muscle05:46 My AdviceFurther notes and resources at https://heatrick.com/2025/02/14/how-much-running-how-fast-to-cut-fat-lets-settle-this/…
Ever feel like you’re a step behind in sparring? Is your Muay Thai footwork letting you down? You throw a combo, step in, and suddenly—bam! You’re off balance, eating a counter. Or worse, your opponent angles off, and you’re left chasing them–like a beginner at their first dance class. Muay Thai footwork isn’t just about moving—it’s about controlling the fight. And if your movement isn’t sharp, everything else suffers. I know how frustrating that is. You drill your strikes, sharpen your clinch, but when it comes to footwork, it’s easy to overlook the details. Most fighters focus on power and technique but overlook the one thing that makes it all flow: balance . Without it, your attacks weaken, your defence slows, and your movement becomes predictable. Footwork isn’t about speed—it’s about control . In this episode, we break down the fundamentals of Muay Thai footwork—why it matters, how to fix common mistakes, and the drills that make all the difference. Check it out now and level up your game.

Have you ever watched an elite Muay Thai fighter and thought, “They make it look so effortless”? It’s not just their technique or strategy that sets them apart—it’s their balance . You see, balance isn’t just about staying upright. In Muay Thai, balance is the foundation of composure —it’s the ability to dominate exchanges, win rounds, and control the fight. Under the Thai judging system, it’s absolutely crucial. Scoring in Muay Thai isn’t just about landing strikes—it’s about proving their effect . Cuts, bruises, or a limp demonstrate impact, but nothing screams dominance more than causing your opponent to lose balance. Think about it : A well-balanced fighter absorbs even powerful strikes without flinching. An unbalanced fighter stumbles—even from weaker hits—giving away points. Here’s the catch : if you lose balance after throwing a strike, it won’t score as highly either. Professor Tony Myers, in his 2013 research on elite Muay Thai fighters, summarises it perfectly: “The findings also point to the need for athletes and coaches to focus on balance before, during, and after technique delivery.” Balance isn’t optional–if you want to level up, it’s your 80/20 priority .

If you're serious about dominating the Muay Thai clinch, you need better Muay Thai clinch training... You've got to go beyond random training and focus on what truly moves the needle. Too often, fighters add bits and pieces of technique or strength work here and there, hoping it’ll translate to success in the clinch. Instead, imagine training with each movement aimed directly at strengthening your clinch. When every session is part of a bigger plan, those small actions add up fast, turning your clinch into an overwhelming force. In this video, I’ll dive into what makes clinch training truly effective and how you can start stacking small wins that add up to major gains. We'll explore not just the mechanics of a strong grip, or “meat hook,” but the positioning of your elbows and the kind of strength work that lays the foundation for unstoppable clinch control. By the end, you’ll have a strategy that can take your Muay Thai clinch to new levels—right where it counts in the ring.

Is sparring in fight camp a smart move or a dangerous gamble? As fight night gets closer, every decision you make in training counts, and few choices are as critical—or risky—as sparring in fight camp. On one hand, it’s an opportunity to refine your timing, reactions, and technique under pressure. But on the other, there’s always the looming risk of an injury that could throw off months of hard work. In this episode, we’ll explore whether sparring in the final stretch of your fight camp is worth it, or if it’s time to shift gears to safer, more controlled forms of training. You don’t want to enter the ring compromised. Let’s look at the best way to prepare without taking unnecessary risks. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Introduction 00:17 Sparring in Fight Camp: Should You Risk It? 00:30 Two Weeks Out: Time to Shift Gears 00:44 Simulated Sparring: Getting the Fight Feel Without the Fight Risk 01:39 Sparring in Fight Camp: The Importance of Emotional Intelligence Further notes and resources at https://heatrick.com/2024/10/25/sparring-in-fight-camp-yes-or-no/…
Fight prep sparring isn’t your usual sparring. It’s more “specific.” The goal is to make every round feel closer to a real fight. For novice fighters, this bridges the gap between the gym and the ring, helping them feel more at home under the lights. For experienced fighters, it’s the ultimate way to refine fight IQ and sharpen tactical instincts in a high-pressure setting. All training should follow a general-to-specific progression, whether you're between fights or building through an athletic training phase. Sparring is no different. Simple tweaks—like sparring the same partner for multiple consecutive rounds or introducing an audience to raise the stakes—can make a huge difference when fight night comes.

If you're anything like me, there was a time you felt silly shadow boxing. Maybe you still do. Muay Thai is about inflicting damage and having an effect... Lashing out in mid-air feels, well, lame! But, I eventually realised how I could best use shadow boxing to do much more than just get my heart rate up and make me feel self conscious! Are you (still) wasting your shadow boxing? If you’re not making the most of your Muay Thai shadow boxing, you’re leaving a critical part of your training untapped. Shadow boxing isn’t just about warming up or working through your techniques—it's your chance to mentally rehearse fight strategy and tactics, to build the necessary reps required for instinctive action in the ring. It’s not only an opportunity to accumulate more random skill practice “clusters” that I’ve spoken of before to enhance your skill retainment over the long term. But, it’s an often wasted opportunity to try on different fight mode “attitudes” and fight “ranges” for size , and become more comfortable with attitudes and ranges less natural for you... A chance to enhance the range of chess pieces you have to play with on your chess board. In this video, we’ll break down how to maximize your Muay Thai shadow boxing by using fight ranges and attitudes/modes to gain the upper hand. Whether you’re up against a heavy-hitting boxer or a slippery counter-fighter, this method will help you control the fight, think ahead, and execute with precision. Let’s strip back the complexity and focus on what really matters. Further notes and resources at https://heatrick.com/2024/10/04/skill-based-muay-thai-shadow-boxing/…

If you’re an orthodox fighter who’s never drilled in a southpaw stance, you’re leaving yourself open to attack—and trust me, that’s a vulnerability you can’t afford in the ring. Whether you’re throwing a punch, missing a strike, or just stepping off-line, sooner or later, you’ll find yourself in that unfamiliar stance. In that split second, you have two options: scramble to get back or confidently launch an attack. In this episode, I’ll show you why mastering the southpaw stance—whether you’re naturally orthodox or vice versa—can be the difference between getting outmaneuvered or taking control of the fight.

When it comes to calisthenics vs weight training , which is better for fighters? In today’s episode, we’re exploring both. Calisthenics offers great benefits for mastering body control, stability, and movement patterns, making it ideal for fighters just starting out or focusing on form. But sometimes, even your body weight can be too much. When it comes to long-term athletic progress, free weights can take your training to the next level. Discover the part both calisthenics and weight training play in your fighter development...

Sound corrected version!! Many fighters and coaches misunderstand just how much Muay Thai training is really needed to achieve the best performance possible. ***Apologies for having to re-upload this episode! I completely messed up the audio with the background music on the original... Doh! A huge thanks to everyone who provided feedback—it really helps me improve these episodes.*** Generally, Thais don’t understand how to program progressive training. They throw everyone into largely the same regimen, regardless if they’re beginners or seasoned pros. And those that can’t keep up, or become injured as a result are deemed “lazy”. Even Damien Trainor shared with me in our podcast together, that after feeling like he was burning out in Thailand, he had to take a day's rest – and then nobody at the camp would speak to him for 2-weeks! And Liam Harrison has shared his thoughts on this too, explaining his experience while living in Thailand… That many top 10 stadium-ranked fighters in their late teens are giving up by the age of 21, because the training was killing them! And founder of Sumalee Boxing Gym, Dr. Lynne Miller goes on to explain how traditional Thai culture makes for slow progress when it comes to taking onboard newer philosophies. Overtraining is real and so are overuse injuries. And there’s a boneyard of discarded fighters that you don’t see. I’m not saying don’t train hard. I’m saying pay attention to your body and don’t break yourself trying to match those that have… a) incrementally adjusted to tolerate high training volumes over years of training, and b) are genetically more robust than the majority. And the truth is… Even Thais come undone when they’re training changes too much – even in as little as 5 minutes work!!

Is watching teammates before your fight a mistake? Coach Bryan Popejoy discusses the potential consequence of doing so on your energy levels in your own fight. Your body is a holistic system, mobilising energy based on your brain’s perception of your environment. The more emotionally invested you are, the greater the level of autonomic system arousal and the greater the energy cost, even if you physically do nothing… Your body is charged and ready to act, even if you deem yourself to be inactive! For fighters yet to fight on that same show, watching your teammates is draining you. When I flew out to Thailand to compete at the amateur Muay Thai World Championships back in 2007, my corner team sat next to me, eagerly watching the new (at the time) Rocky Balboa in-flight movie. Glancing across during a fight scene, I found my adrenaline levels going through the roof! Because I was competing myself when we arrived in Thailand, it was just too much for me. I had to stop watching such emotive fight scenes. This is an example of how draining even watching fights can be (if you’re emotionally invested). In the end, I watched Rocky Balboa on the flight home again after the championships instead, and enjoyed it FAR more!

I’ve always been able to take a body shot. A bulletproof core has always been my superpower. It allowed me to become a dominant Muay Khao fighter, completely unfazed by trading the heaviest of knees in the clinch… Confident I could inflict much more damage than I would take . To take a Muay Thai body shot you must both develop the prerequisite core strength and shot absorbing technique . The truth is, that even a strong core can only absorb a body shot without taking damage IF it’s tensed. And there’s a skill to this!

Unlike many sports, in Muay Thai you can excel regardless of your stature or body type. It's possible to find a personal Muay Thai style for you. Tall fighters, short fighters, strong fighters, fast fighters! With so many tools in the box, Muay Thai allows you to play to your strengths. Develop the Muay Thai skill to fight using a style that suits your body type and athletic abilities, and you become a unique puzzle to crack! I practiced several different martial arts before I found Muay Thai – Judo, Kyokushinkai karate, Taekwondo, Boxing, Kickboxing... But none of them afforded me the freedom to fight full force, using my whole body like Muay Thai did. Instead of being pigeonholed in a way that disadvantaged me, I could play the game how I wanted to.

Now in my fifties, the training mistakes I made as a young fighter are finally catching up with me... If some training is good, and more means quicker results, then even more training is even better, right? That's how it felt at the time. However, time and scientific evidence have proved me wrong! The fact is, I'm part of an emerging demographic of caucasian males in their early fifties who, after years heavily involved in sports, now need hip replacements .

Even for fighters, running efficiency matters! Wasted running effort hurts more than just your running time… Injuries will catch up with you sooner or later. And don’t assume your running technique is good – even if you’re fast, and you don’t currently have injuries. I did, and I was wrong! Although combat sports athletes don’t need optimal running mechanics like say, track athletes, or even field sports athletes might do, fighters must run well enough . Well enough, not to sabotage fitness testing (like the 12-minute Cooper Run for example)… And well enough not to cause excessive wear and tear – creating issues such as shin splints, tendinitis, meniscus damage, IT Band syndrome, etc. In this episode, I share a very quick and simple running efficiency check, and fix .

The secret to training fighter endurance is to plug the gaps in fighting fitness typically left behind by regular bag work, pad work, and sparring practice. Don't do more of the same, develop what's missing. For most fighters, that means targeting GENERAL ENERGY PRODUCTION – the heart and lungs – rather than LOCAL ENERGY UTILISATION at the muscles themselves. And this emphasis shifts as you get closer to your fight, or toward the end of your training phase if you're not competing. Join me in this episode as I explain this transition and offer two extreme examples: 00:00 Fighter Energy Systems 00:38 Supplemental Local Muscular Endurance? 01:09 Progressing 3x Cardio Sessions Each Week 01:39 Cardio Session Examples 02:23 The Right Cardio At The Right Time Further notes and resources at https://heatrick.com/2024/04/26/fighting-fitness-how-to-plan-fighter-endurance-training/…

When it comes to heart rate training, your maximum heart rate is far less important than knowing your anaerobic threshold heart rate . Most of the time, I don’t care what a fighter’s max heart rate is. But it’s vital I know their anaerobic threshold heart rate… Was that a hard training session? Your heart will tell you – if you know what you’re doing! Testing for, and training based on your anaerobic threshold heart rate (your maximal sustainable pace) is the secret to knowing if your Muay Thai or cardio conditioning session was easy, moderate, or high intensity. Training at a pace above your anaerobic threshold is high intensity, at this pace is moderate, and below it is easy. In this video I discuss how to test your anaerobic threshold and how to use this information both in your training and to win fights! This is boosting your fight IQ by weaponising your energy systems conditioning.
