Is there any way to learn proper Muay Thai withou any money?

I am particularly interested in Muay Thai Boran, but any branch is easily acceptable.|||books/videos








people say yeh its better to have someone teach it 2 u. but who sed they know the right way?? i mean if u learn from a book or video and it works dusnt that make it correct also?


the teacher will teach u in the method that works best for them however if u adapt the style urself u learn it to the way that suits u best.





its the best solution of learning without money


nutin as a free lunch. sum1 willin 2 teach u without money i take my hat off to them.|||In Thailand, there%26#039;s a gym that would take you for free if you%26#039;re capable of keeping up with whatever they make you do. Meaning they only want someone who%26#039;s determined to become a professional fighter. Even if you%26#039;re able to keep up on day one but can%26#039;t on the next day, they%26#039;ll kick you out. You wouldn%26#039;t be able to complain because they%26#039;re letting you do it for free.|||you are very limited in your options. You can try to find someone that will teach you for free or you can learn through books and videos. I wouldn%26#039;t recommend going the book/video route unless you have taken some classes already. You can learn alot from instructionals but unfortunately without learning proper technique first. Without someone critiquing you while you are performing the techniques you could develop incredibly bad form.





For instance there are alot of things people do like drop their hands when punching and alot of the times you don%26#039;t notice unless someone tells you. Another example would be counter balancing yourself when throwing kicks. You most likely will be shown these things in a video but there is a good chance you won%26#039;t be performing correctly.





I think once you get the basics down from learning in a class setting you could transition into the videos/books. You%26#039;ll have a better understanding of what you are being taught from actually seeing it in a live setting and performing in live setting rather than just seeing it on your tv or reading about it.|||I did, but that was back in the late 1970%26#039;s and early 1980%26#039;s when Muay Thai was new in the United States. Today, there are thousands of schools and instructors whose only goal is to make money by training students. I am sure there are retired fighters out there like me who are not necessarily instructors, but would gladly offer you advice for free. There is no replacement for a good instructor though and that will cost you today.|||Go around to all of the schools in the area, explain your situation and offer to work for tuition--cleaning the school, etc.|||Find a muay thai instructor who%26#039;ll have you paint his fences, sand his floors, and wash and wax his cars.|||Best choice for free would be www.youtube.com


they have everything on there... other than that.. you could problaby search it up on yahoo and read about the moves..|||its somewhat possible to learn muay thai through videos and books





there are many books and videos out their which are great to supplement training but nothing beats an instructor watching over you. even though you may think you are doing things right an instructor can fine tune your skills and tell you the lil tiny things you are doing wrong.








even after 3 yrs of training my coach still coaches me throughout sparring giving me real time feedback and things to work on





it also possible if you are learning the technique wrong then when you actually do have money and get professional training you%26#039;ll take longer to learn because you have to go over all the stuff you previously learned





books and videos are good at showing other aspects of training your coach doesnt focus on and you can practice and improve from there but as a sole means on learning its not the best





when i started thai boxing my coach handed me a piece of paper saying the times of practice, the equipment i needed, and a book he recommended me reading, but of course he didnt want me to only learn through the book, just to help with my training





so books and videos are one idea thats fairly cheap but like i said they are better supplements.





next cheap idea is to find someone in your area on something like myspace.com meetup.com, at a rec center, college club that knows/practice muay thai that%26#039;ll teach you for free or next to nothing





and of course theres actually muay thai lessons from a gym but of course that cost money usually anywhere from $60-$120 per month





those are pretty much your only options good luck finding a way to learn muay thai. i love it. i pay $90 per month and to me its worth every penny. i highly recommend you join a gym whenever money is no longer an issue|||Find a someone who is already paying for lessons and make friends with them. And then, have them teach you.
