You have been training for Muay Thai Sydney in New South Wales Australia for a while and now you are about to have your first fight. You have been good in sparring against experienced guys. Now you want to put your skills to the actual test. Preparing is very important because it will determine the outcome of the match.

Do what your Muay Thai coach tells you

If you are working with an experienced coach, there are high chances that your coach has trained a lot of professional fighters. You should listen to what your coach says. You should also understand that every coach has got his/her way of doing things. Generally, you will need at least 20 hours of training per week. On an average day, you will need to run at least 30 minutes, 30 minutes of bag work, 30 minutes of conditioning, 60 minutes of pad work, and 30 minutes of clinch and 30 minutes of stretching.

I have not included sparring because you don’t need to spar every day. You can spar every second day. If you spar daily you will have a high chance of getting an injury. The downtime is one of the most important parts of Muay Thai fight camp. You will need to rest at least one day per week. During your rest day, you shouldn’t go near the gym. You can sit on the couch and relax. If you are smashing bags and training hard every day, you will get run down.

Get quality sleep

Quality sleep helps your body to recover. You will also perform efficiently in Muay Thai gym Sydney in New South Wales Australia if you get quality sleep. With the availability of digital media, most people stay up to very late watching movies, chatting or reading news. However, if your Muay Thai match is approaching, you shouldn’t compromise your sleep. You should have at least 8 hours of quality sleep without being interrupted by electronics. Switch off your phone and sleep on the bed. Lying on the bed without engaging your brains can help you get enough rest.

Drink a lot of water

You should make sure that your body is properly hydrated. This will protect your body from wear and tear and lubricate your muscles.

Take a multivitamin

When training for a match, your body will get run down. This can compromise your immune system. There is nothing worse than getting sick on the day before a fight. You should use high-quality multi-vitamin to boost your immune system. Eat something after every 3 to 4 hours. Watch your diet and avoid large meals. You can break your large meals into smaller meals. Do not eat until you are full. Only eat until you are not hungry.

Avoid simple carbs

When preparing for your Muay Thai Sydney match in New South Wales Australia, you should try to cut on simple carbs such as white bread, sugar, white rice. Instead of simple carbs, try and eat complex carbs such as brown rice, sweet potato, and whole wheat bread. Avoid eating carbs after six o’clock.
