Tennis Warrior part 2:Thai Boxing to better tennis

One Day I was teaching a boxing class at the club. There was beautiful, petite Filipino woman who was a regular there...

Now,

It was a classical boxing class. Not Kickboxing...

Yet when I asked them to kick, was stunned at how much power she had in her roundhouse kick!
And she wasn't into kicking at all!

I learned many years ago, from that experience with her, a secret to training for power.

The age old adage,
"as above, so below" applies here.

Muay Thai boxing movements work the obliques and abdominals in such a rapid fire way, that you couldn't help but increase raw power. In sports like tennis, that means more powerful returns, backhands, and forehand swings. Learning the proper movement involved in throwing knees, elbow and roundhouse kicks can help give you a great foundation upon which to build.
