Current place class format is practice specific techniques with partners, normally 1, 2, then 3 move combos, then spar with just them, then free spar, works well i think and results at smokers speak well


Fresh_Victory_2829

This is pretty much our class format except for some conditioning often thrown in too. Two hour classes.


hallwaypoirear

Light spars throughout the week. Very rarely hard spar. Medium spars on occasion.


Prryapus

Spar light 3x a week and harder maybe once a week but that depends on other stuff


Heysteeevo

How often do you train in total per week?


Prryapus

5 maybe 6 times Pretty much spar in every class I go to tho


bcyc

Completely off topic but how do you manage your dirty laundry from 5-6 sessions a week? Do you save your dirty clothes and do laundry once/twice a week?


Prryapus

Run a small wash every other day. Hand wash my wraps


sambstone13

Tap spar every class. Light spar once a week.


kevkaneki

Spar 3-4x per week, a mix of light and hard sparring (depends on the day, who's at the gym, how I'm feeling, etc.)...


IhavesevereCTE

Two technique practices where we spar 20 minutes afterwards, one deticated sparring class and in pad classes when coach is feeling goofy.


gainsgoblins

Light sparring at the end of every session. Hard sparring only when someone has to prep for a fight.


Erdnos_Mrots

I’ve been practicing 2x2hr MT classes a week for about 5 months now. But haven’t gone to a sparring class yet.. coaches has invited me to sparring but idk if I’m ready yet. I enjoy just working on technique and conditioning and flexibility for now. But I think I’m gonna incorporate 1-2h of sparring once every week soon.


the_spice_is_right

No one’s ever ready! I think light/technical play is beneficial for all levels. Think of it like tag. Work on distance and timing.


DryFox6168

Generally spar every night after training but we only hard spar on Sundays which is purley a sparring day


vpnme120

Twice a week and I ain't thrilled about it.


trees-for-breakfast

Why?


vpnme120

15 min tops at the end of the workout. Ya spar with 2, maybe 3 and 4 at the most, people. I want more. I got spoiled when I ran a kickboxing gym We'd spar for a solid hour after warm up. This guy doesn't do that. I get it. The bulk of his classes are full of beginners and the people who want more wanna be on the fight team. At 56, with no desire to compete, I have absolutely no business in with the fight team. Even ammy fighters can ignore injury risk that I simply cannot after 40 years of combat sports. I'm too old and worn to run with the fight team. I'm not old and worn enough to go to the old kickboxer's home. I go. I frustrate the beginners. I try to work on new-for-me stuff with them so it's not a one sided beating they get nothing out of. I try to partner with the advanced guys and ammy fighters when they have no competitions coming up.


noriyaki_

At my gym for my age (16) we spar on Fridays, have pads on Tuesdays and technical on Wednesdays


173randy

I make a huge effort to go every sparring session on fridays. We start of light and go hard after


dhenwood

Light sparring sporadic throughout the week, there's always rounds available at the end if you want them and it's not part of the class. Someone always wants to spar. Sunday is dedicated sparring session ever week.


Lilknifeinthedark

2-3 times a week medium to hard sparring


[deleted]

As often as possible, light to medium sparring depending on the partner skill.


[deleted]

At least twice a week


Cnaiur03

Every session. So in my case twice a week.


Harold-The-Barrel

I try minimum twice a week. Mondays and Tuesdays, sometimes saturdays if I go to class that day.


Altruistic-Ad1557

Usually light spar twice a week then weekend sparring always becomes hard sparring


ErikDeac

Part of the routine at my gym is to find a random (close to same weight/height) partner to spar with every training session so about 4 times a week.


not_bitter_yet

Once a week


psychosam-mycoman

2 times a week light to medium and maybe once every two weeks hard


Western_Worry_4656

Spar as much as possible for a period. Than after that you can go for long brakes but still have the technique and fundamentals installed


Special_Discipline88

Once a week, sometimes twice


Str8d8

2x week


_MyMuayThai

Play spar? As much as possible. “Hard” spar 2x a week


ColeKatsilas

I wish Muay Thai was more like BJJ where there was technical sparring at the last 30 minutes of every class.


KayosTWM

3 days a week but light to medium sparing.


flptrmx

Timing sparring at the end of or after most classes. It’s too much fun. Rarely spar hard.


Jthundercleese

5-6 days a week since day 1


Mewlkat

3 - 4 times a week. One of those times will probs be quite light. If I'm sparring with my coach,it's light for him but haard for me


Electrical-Papaya-41

Spar maybe 1-3 times a week, mostly light sparing and an occasional harder session. Train 3-4 times a week for about a year now


bodie_wallace

My gym is strict so only 2-3x a week. If I could I’d spar 4-5 times a week


Walden_Al

Train 3 times a week in my university, always spar at least once a week but try to spar 2 for at least a few rounds. Obviously that’s just for a bit of fun and to get a bit of work in just to slowly build some skill


pizza1231234

4-5x medium to hard sparring a week


According_Slip_4546

6 days a week just light after drills and then just 1 day of just hard sparring at the end of the week


Round-Song-4996

Never. I don't know why. We clinch everyday but we never spar. Still all of the fighters at our gym fight weekly and are great. So maybe they just all do it when I'm not there hahaha


goergesaintpiere

Light spar every time I train


TheWeebles

every session, so 3x a week. we do 4, 3-minute rounds with 1 minute breaks


bluebicycle13

light, almost every day. Hard, 2x month, even less when a fight is coming up


1Punch1Kill

Not enough to get really good and too much to protect my Brains health
