Fight training without a fight? It may seem counterintuitive, but you CAN capture the performance benefits of a fight camp without ever stepping foot in the ring. The secret lies in periodisation - strategically planning your training into blocks that progressively build strength, power, speed, and Muay Thai specific skills. This optimised structure allows you to simulate a fight camp and its gains without the fight itself. In this video, 51-year-old ex-pro fighter and Muay Thai performance specialist Don Heatrick breaks down the major benefits of using a periodised approach in your training whether you compete or not. Avoid plateaus, prevent injuries, ensure sustainable progress, and align training to your unique goals - periodisation helps any Muay Thai athlete make consistent gains for health, fitness and self-defence. Don draws from decades of experience showing how planned, progressive training variations beat out stale, repetitive routines. Break out of your rut and design a periodised plan tailored to your needs. You'll unlock better performance, faster recovery, and increased motivation. Think periodisation is just for competitors? Think again. Use these proven techniques to transform your own training. It's time to start stealing those coveted fight camp results - no actual fights required.
