In Episode 237 of the Pu’u Muay Thai Podcast, Jonathan Puu answers one of the most common questions beginners ask:

How often should you train Muay Thai?

Most people assume the answer is “every day.” Train harder. Train more. Go all in. But that mindset is one of the fastest ways to burn out and quit before you ever see real progress.

In this episode, Jonathan breaks down the truth about training frequency — and how to build a schedule that actually helps you stay consistent, improve, and avoid injury.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

•  Why training too much too soon leads to burnout 
•  The ideal training frequency for Muay Thai beginners 
•  Why consistency beats intensity every time 
•  How recovery impacts your progress more than you think 
•  What happens when your body doesn’t have time to adapt 
•  How to build a sustainable training schedule that fits real life 
•  When and how to safely increase your training volume 

Jonathan explains why most beginners don’t fail because Muay Thai is too hard — they fail because they try to do too much too fast. Real progress comes from showing up consistently over months and years, not going all in for a few weeks.

Whether you’re just starting Muay Thai or trying to improve your training routine, this episode will help you understand how to train smarter so you actually stick with it long enough to get results.
