Muay Thai Fight IQ – Master Switching Fight Modes for Any Opponent

Your Muay Thai fight IQ isn’t just about what you do best—it’s about what breaks your opponent. The key? Adaptability.

You can’t force your favorite game onto every fighter. Instead, you need to recognize their style and adjust accordingly.

Winning a game of rock-paper-scissors against someone who only ever throws rock is easy!

Now, imagine stepping into a Muay Thai fight with someone who does the same thing—same attacks, same rhythm, same predictable game plan.

If you know what’s coming, it’s only a matter of time before you crack the code and take over.

But what if you’re the one stuck in a pattern? What happens when your favorite strategy isn’t working?

I’ve been there. And so has every fighter who’s ever stepped into the ring.

The problem? Sticking to one fight mode instead of adapting.

The solution? Understanding Muay Thai Fight IQ—knowing which mode to use, when to use it, and how to switch gears mid-fight.

Too many fighters think their style is set in stone.

But this week’s episode breaks that myth—showing you how to fluidly switch fight modes and become your opponent’s worst nightmare.
