Move Like Saenchai – Speed Training For Muay Thai

One name springs to mind when considering a worked example to analyse speed training for Muay Thai... Saenchai is a Muay Thai living legend, and his trademark moves are based on an inherent plyometric ability that he’s naturally exploited to awesome effect. Saenchai is an elastic animal! He’s super efficient at storing and returning elastic energy in his muscles and tendons, what sports scientists call stretch-shortening cycle – and not everyone has developed a body that can do this. But you can if you train for it… Let’s look at how you can use your strength and conditioning sessions to develop this ability too.
