Hey im just wanted to ask if i should cross train. im taking muay thai right now but i think even though our attacks are one of the strongest its not fast enough, neither is our movement,like moving towards ur opponent (first front leg then the back and so on). and well i need some feedback on what to do,i could keep the style pure and just keep with it or i could cross train to make myself faster and more agile.. this place called integral combat school of martial arts teaches muay thai,jeet kune do,kali/esirma. bu u see i dont know, im being tought in muay thai by a thai champion(ajan suchart). and i reall dont know what to do and if i cross train is there going to be multipull stances or just one plz i need some feedback.

Hi BT
If you ARE going to add to your Muay Thai training then I beleive you've found a good choice. They should already have integrated much of Muay Thai into their methods - and their stance should eb very much compatible with your Muay Thai boxing stance. Where is this club & who is the Instrcutor - maybe I can do a little homework for you on their lineage etc.?

| if you are gonna cross train your muay thai with something else, do it with a grappling style, that way you will be a well rounded fighter in the ring and on the street |

Hmmmm..... a lot of people get confused with the term "cross training." Originally the term cross training was used in sports when an athlete would do other forms of sport or training that would benefit his/her main sport - like a Sprinter may do cycling to hit the legs from another angle.
Grappling, whilst a VERY good method (one of my faves) will not make you a better Thia Boxer and is therefore not really cross training. A Thai Boxer going to a Boxing gym to work his hands - THAT is cross training.
Now then - if our Thai Boxer's main goal is to be an all round fighter - THEN the grappling would be cross training.
Yeah, I know, I'm nit picking

I think you would be better to train in weights, running, plyometric and agility exercises to supplement your training. Build a strong base of aerobic work and develop anaerobic work.
You need to make a programme designed specifically for you personally

It sounds like you just started training in Muah Thai (or else you wouldn't think it was slow) Give it some time before you start confusing yourself with a similar style for cross-training. I think you will find you get MUCH faster in the next 3 months.

Well if you want to improve and become more faster and more agile in Muay thai then I say you should if you really want to.
But if you arent sure then maybe just stick with Muay Thai.
