I am a 15 year old training muay thai fighter, i stopped training due to financial problems,?

Question

anyways to train to improve myself?

Answer 1

The other respondents have the right idea in my opinion. Go back to your school/instructor and explain your situation. All fo the quality instructors I know would much prefer to give free lessons to someone who will turn up to every class, than receive tuition payments from someone who rarely turns up.

If such an arrangement is not possible, you could also look at trying to find a work-out partner by posting ad's on the internet or in your local newspaper. Such workout partners should be reviewed by your parents and the workouts should occur somewhere suitable.

Barring all of that, you might want to consider any program or disicpline in your area that is free, low cost, or that will accept you as a student in exchange for work you can provide. It may not be your desired discipline, but training, knowledge, and information are NEVER a waste of time and when you can afford lessons, you could always return to Muay Thai if that remains your passion. There are legal restrictions on what clubs can ask you to do in exchange for lessons, especially at your age, in most countries, but I'm sure they can work our some suitable and legal arrangement.

Good luck to you. Such challenges cna be tough, but they can also forge the fortitude that will make you an outstanding and dedicated martial artist.

Answer 2

I had the same problem when I was training. I was trying to train, go to college, and hold a job at the same time. I could not afford it and I did not have time for it. But the best way to train yourself is to first of all keep in shape. Lots of running and ab work. And you have to keep moving. Bouncing, working on your strikes, and your foot work. If you need something to give you a little feed back on your striking and can't find anyone willing to spar with you for free. Revert back to the traditional methods. Wrap some type of padding around a rather thin tree and work on your strikes. Softly at first to create the pain tolerence and then when you have it you can go harder. If you do this and don't hurt yourself when you back to train no one will having anything on you. Trust me. Their leg kicks won't even phase you and your stricke will break bones.

Answer 3

Yes, go buy the 4 pack Billy Blanks Tae Bo - Combo Set on eBay.

From there, you could step it up a notch and buy the Ultimate Billy Blanks Tae Bo Kickboxing Experience!

Answer 4

I agree with everyone else. Talk with your instructor, be honest and see if you could work something out. You must give in order to receive just like in the old days. They had to prove that they were worthy off to be trained. Good luck.

Answer 5

Find a job at a MT academy or work off your gym fees by doing work around the gym. Does your instructor know you have financial problems? Talk to him/her and be honest. If that doesnt work kick and punch trees, your brother, anything. Keep up your cardio.

Answer 6

Box-you don't get to kick anybody but the training is usually low/no cost. In the long run you will be a better kickboxer for it.

Answer 7

if you have treated your instructor good enough, tell him the truth then tel him that you really want to train/learn muay thai maybe he'll work something out...good luck kid

Answer 8

You can offer to apprentice/work for your trainer. Especially if there are classes for younger children they always need free help, and they may be willing to train you if you work for them

Answer 9

invest in a good video tutorial and exercise/meditate....
