10 Must-Have Items For Your Muay Thai Bag

If you're new to Muay Thai, chances are you've wondered what's in those huge gym bags that other fighters lug around. You'll need lots of equipment to practice Muay Thai safely, so here is a quick breakdown of the necessities:
​


​
  1. Gloves: Some fighters carry two pairs of gloves: a lighter pair (generally 10 ounces) for bag and pad workouts, and a heavier second pair for drills and sparring. It’s always a good idea to check with your instructor before buying your first set of gloves, as he or she might have a preference for a specific type or brand.
  2. Groin protection: No explanation needed. This item is a must-have for men.
  3. Mouth guard: Don’t leave home without this item in your bag. A mouth guard is an inexpensive insurance policy against getting some teeth knocked out. Additionally, they are much cheaper and much more comfortable than dental work and the bill that goes with it.
  4. Shin guards: These are not only important for your protection, but also for the protection of your training partners. Shin guards come in all sizes, so be sure to try on a few sets before settling on the right one.
  5. Headgear: This is a must-have piece of equipment for students of all levels. The expense of headgear is nothing in comparison to the effects of a concussion. If you're not sure of which type of headgear is best for you, check with your instructor. He or she can recommend the best type of headgear for your level.
  6. Hand wraps Toss a few wraps in your bag so they’ll be “handy” at all times.
  7. Athletic tape: A roll of good athletic tape is worth its weight in gold; tape a sprained finger, secure your shin guards, tape your gloves shut, or tape up a fighter’s hands with this all-purpose tool. Never leave home without it.
  8. Elbow and kneepads: If you've ever taken a slam to unprotected elbows or knees, you know how much it hurts. Elbow pads will also protect your opponent from your strikes during sparring.
  9. Ankle braces: These gems will save your ankles from the heavy force generated by kicks and are a must-have for students of any level.
  10. Muscle liniment: These products help ease the aches and pains of contact sports. Dab some on any sore spots before training but be careful not to overdo it. Keep any muscle liniments in a separate, sealed bag. You don't want to open your bag only to find liniment all over your equipment and clothing.
 
There you have it: the essentials that should be in every Muay Thai student’s bag. If you’re in the Los Angeles area, you’re in luck. We are a world-class Muay Thai gym in Los Angeles, and we are proud to be home to the finest Muay Thai trainers in the Los Angles area. Stop by or give us a call and see for yourself.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his whatsapp +2347012841542 or email emutemple@gmail.com website: Https://emutemple.wordpress.com/ Https://web.facebook.com/Emu-Temple-104891335203341
