Yes, you can learn Muay Thai at home, but it will require some investment on your part. You'll need to purchase training equipment, including a heavy bag, gloves, hand wraps, and perhaps Thai pads. You'll also need to find a reputable online or DVD instructional resource.

Muay Thai training is tough. Each session lasts from 1 to 2 hours and incorporates multiple rounds of shadow boxing, heavy bagwork, padwork, strength training and conditioning exercises. A traditional training for fighters will even include a 3-5km run as a warm-up. A sore body today is a strong body tomorrow.
