Introduction Behind every great fighter is a coach who helped guide the way. At TAG, our coaching staff has years of combined experience both inside and outside the ring. We asked them one simple question: “What’s the best advice you ever got in Muay Thai?” Their answers offer timeless wisdom that applies to everyone—from day-one students to seasoned nak muays.

- “Consistency Beats Talent When Talent Isn’t Consistent” Coach Bryan Dobler emphasizes showing up, even on days you don’t feel 100%. Skills sharpen through repetition, not mood.
“You don’t need to be the fastest or strongest. Just be the one who keeps coming back.”
- “Protect Yourself at All Times” More than just a boxing rule, this piece of advice from Coach Lena is about situational awareness in and out of the ring.
“Always stay mentally sharp, especially when you’re tired.”
- “The Fighter Who Controls the Distance Controls the Fight” Coach Jimmy Lange shares this gem about range management. Knowing when to step in, angle off, or disengage is a sign of mastery.
“Footwork matters more than flashy strikes.”
- “Fight How You Train” Coach Eric reminds athletes not to rely on a switch-flip mentality. Habits built in practice are the ones that show up under pressure.
“If you spar sloppy, you’ll fight sloppy.”
- “Don’t Compare Your Chapter 1 to Someone Else’s Chapter 20” A favorite of Coach Ali, this advice speaks to mindset. Everyone grows at their own pace.
“Your only competition is who you were yesterday.”
- “Your Breath is Your Superpower” Coach Zoe includes breathwork in every training session. Calm breathing keeps adrenaline in check.
“Inhale confidence. Exhale tension.”
- “Stay Humble, Stay Dangerous” One of TAG’s mottos. Confidence without ego. Power with respect.
“Respect everyone. Fear no one.”
