Frequently Asked Questions

Can I learn Muay Thai from shadow boxing?

You can learn the fundamental striking techniques and combinations. Shadow boxing is how Muay Thai fighters warm up, drill technique, and build muscle memory. For full mastery, you'd eventually want bag work and sparring, but OOWEE is an excellent foundation.

Is Muay Thai shadow boxing harder than regular shadow boxing?

Yes—Muay Thai engages your entire body. Throwing kicks, knees, and elbows requires more balance, flexibility, and core strength than punching alone. It's a more complete workout, but also more challenging.

Do I need flexibility to do Muay Thai shadow boxing?

You don't need to kick head-height to start. OOWEE's Muay Thai workouts accommodate all flexibility levels. Body kicks and low kicks are highly effective and require moderate flexibility. High kicks come with practice.

What's the difference between Muay Thai and boxing shadow work?

Muay Thai incorporates kicks, knees, and elbows—making it a full-body striking art. Boxing focuses purely on punches. Muay Thai shadow boxing is more physically demanding but builds more complete striking technique.
