The importance of Muay Thai training when acquiring and maintaining any and all skills cannot be over stressed. This applies to any area of human endeavor, however, in this article we will focus on the development of martial arts and combat sports skills such as Muay Thai or Mixed Martial Arts. Human beings do not appear to have any instinctive motor responses and so any activity that we engage in, particularly pursuits that use movements that require complex motor nerve programming and the constant monitoring of external activity that will require the an alteration in response carried out by the skilled movement being performed. This is especially important in combat sports such as Muay Thai and Mixed Martial arts where the opponent's actions are changing constantly and rapidly. In order to learn the skills to prepare us for these sports we must train and we must train specifically for the task that we want to engage in, whether it be for business, sport, personal development or just leisurely interest. The body movements themselves are under constant adjustment by feedback from the balance and tactile sensors with minute, precision adjustments being made rapidly and constantly. All these responses require Muay Thai training to develop the neural pathways. These pathways must be continually reinforced because over time they deteriorate and fade.
