When Thai athletes were very young, there was a saying similar to that of China, that is, they soaked their bodies in soup to increase their physique and strengthen their bones and muscles. Soaking the whole body with decoction is called "bathing" in Thailand. This process is still a bit cruel. Soak the whole body with medicinal juice first, then let people punch and kick, then soak and wash the bruises with medicinal juice, and then be beaten until you get used to the combination of fists and feet, and then hit with a wooden stick until you hit the whole body with an iron bar without knowing it, and you're done. In fact, this method is different from that in China. China is used to enhance physical fitness, while Thailand is a bit like rubbing a nerve.
Not only that, Thai boxers have other exercises, such as taking heavy sandbags as targets day after day and practicing hitting. In the past, boxers often kicked the trunk repeatedly to exercise the toughness of the instep and tibia. Another method is called leg training: take a short tree trunk, throw it into the air, and kick it continuously and quickly from left to right to prevent falling, so as to improve the attack power of your feet step by step and improve your judgment ability. And in this way, a branch can be used many times, which is also very economical and interesting. There are even coconuts to practice. Everyone should know how hard coconuts are, and you can imagine how hard their training is.
They have been training since they were teenagers. Although it is very hard every day, it will take six or seven years to participate in all kinds of formal boxing competitions, or that is to say, everything comes to him who waits.
