🥊 PREPARING FOR INTERCLUBS
Interclubs are a great way to test what you've been learning and gain experience outside of your own gym.
But we don't want them to be something you simply put your hand up for and turn up on the day to give it a shot.
We want an interclub to be a goal you work towards.
🥊 BEFORE WE PUT YOUR NAME DOWN
We want to see consistent training week to week, regular sparring, improvement, listening to feedback and good technique and control.
You don't need to be the best or the hardest worker. We just need to see that you're progressing and show your ready for the experience.
🔥 ONCE YOUR NAME IS DOWN
We generally have around four weeks to prepare. Use them.
Train consistently. Watch your diet. Work on what your coaches are giving you and where possible, arrive early and run before training.
It's not about turning it into a fight camp. It's about learning to set a goal, prepare for it and turn up knowing you've done the work.
🦍 ON THE DAY
You're not only representing yourself, you're representing your gym, so take pride in that.
Don't come out trying to prove something. Use the first round to feel out your opponent and find the level you're both at, then allow the intensity to build while maintaining control.
No ego. No showboating. No trying to "win".
The goal is to have the best quality sparring match possible. Test your Muay Thai, experience a different style and learn from each other.
If you both walk away challenged and having learned something, that's a successful interclub.
We arrive as a team, support each other and stay until our last teammate has finished.
🥊 WANT TO FIGHT ONE DAY?
Interclubs are the perfect learning platform. The preparation, nerves, listening to your coaches and performing against someone unfamiliar — it's all practice.
And if you never want to fight but want to challenge yourself at interclubs, that's completely fine too.
Either way: set the goal, prepare properly and make the experience mean something.
If you have any questions about interclubs or what you need to work on, come see me. I'm always available for a chat.
