Looking for a muay thai online course so that you can learn and train effectively from home?
The best muay thai online course for you depends a lot on your current muay thai level and what your goals are.
There are specific courses for Beginners all the way up to experts.
And they cover a range of topics from the basics, clinching, kicks and of course strength and conditioning.
For me a muay thai course I purchase online should be one that I can use and refer to for a long time to come into the future.
But there are also very valuable free resources you can use to learn and train from home. And these are discussed further below.
The muay thai online course I highly recommend and one that I have used since 2015 up until today is the Heavy Bag Blueprint by muay thai fighter and well known personality in the online muay thai world – Sean Fagan.
Sean has been a huge member and contributor to the online muay thai community for a number of years now.
He is known for producing some of the best quality online training and muay thai online courses.
The Heavy Bag Blueprint 2.0 (25% Discount offer!!!)
This is my go to muay thai online course.
All you need is a heavy bag to take your solo training to the next level.
And you instructors and teammates will definitely notice your improvement when you are able to put in focussed quality heavy bag training outside of the gym.
You can use this program to get ahead through extra solo training.
Or if you are just starting muay thai, this muay thai online course will have you establish strong basics of stance and footwork and fundamental attack and defense.

Free Muay Thai Online Courses
There is a ton of free video lessons online, that you can use for your own muay thai training.
The main problem I find with free muay thai online lessons is that they often aren’t structured and modular to provide the best learning and training experience.
You can find may excellent muay thai lessons for free online but often they are isolated and out of context and may not build on the basics.
That being said here are a few excellent resources for free muay thai online courses:
i) Sean Fagan aka The Muay Thai Guy
His YouTube channel has over 547 videos and covering just about everything there is on muay thai training and technique.
There is also a huge library of free muay thai information available on Sean’s site nakmuaynation.com.
He is also the creator of my favorite muay thai online course, the Heavy Bag Blueprint.
ii) Muay Thai PROS
Another excellent YouTube channel with 276 videos that cover muay thai from stance and footwork to advanced technique and strategy.
You really can’t go wrong with the Muay Thai Pros YouTube channel for excellent free online muay thai instruction and lessons.
iii) Bazooka Jo Valtellini – YouTube Kickboxing Course
So while this course is not strictly muay thai, Bazooka Jo is an incredible kickboxing former champion who has structured an extremely useful free learning resource on his YouTUbe channel.
Beginning from Episode #1 focussed on Stance & Footwork, I believe there are over 60 lessons which are follow along, structured and modular i.e building from the basics of stance and footwork to include techniques and more advanced techniques and strategies.
Paid Muay Thai Online Course Recommendations
So we have covered some highly recommended sources for free online muay thai instruction and lessons above.
And the suggested sources above are really all you need to get started in learning muay thai oline.
Especially if you are on a low budget or don’t want to or are not able to pay for lessons and online instruction.
However, if you are able and want to take your online learning to another level, then paid courses are highly recommended.
The major advantages with paid courses for muay thai online, in my opinion are:
- There is structure which builds from the basics all the way up to more advanced techniques and skills. Oftentimes free courses are isolated and not structured to build you from the basics up.
- You can have direct contact with the course creators and other students to be able to ask questions, seek guidance and get help in areas you may need extra attention.
- With paid muay thai online courses you are often able to download the lessons and watch and follow along offline.
So here are the best in terms of online muay thai courses in my opinion and as someone who has been learning muay thai and martial arts mainly online for the last decade.
#1 – The Heavy Bag Blueprint 2.0
Created by the hugely popular online muay thai personality, Sean ‘Muay Thai Guy’ Fagan, this is my favourite online muay thai course.
I first got the HBB version 1.0 back in 2015 and got Version 2.0 as soon as it was launched.
Whether you are a beginner learning the basics or an advanced nak muay, this course is especially designed for you to learn and train effectively from home with just a heavy bag.
Conditioning, techniques and strategy, nutrition and strength and conditioning are all covered in this course.
And once you purchase it – you own it for life!

#2 – Liam Harrison – liamharrisontraining.com
Liam Harrison is an 8 time world champion and with a highly successful fighting career in muay thai.
He has made available online all his knowledge of muay thai and fighting for all interested no matter what their level and experience.
The training lessons can be trained at the gym, or at home on the bag or with a training partner.
The lessons are grouped into beginner, intermediate and advanced lessons.
However unlike the Heavy Bag Blueprint which is a one-off own for life payment, liamharrisontraining.com is a monthly or annual subscription fee based site.
But you can cancel anytime you like and there is a huge library of video lessons which will keep your training fresh, fun while raising your knowledge and skill level for a long time to come!
#3 – Evolve University
Having trained at Evolve MMA in Singapore, I can say the instruction is exceptional.
And you can learn directly from world champions from different disciplines including muay thai.
In addition to subscription based learning, whereby you can access a huge library of streaming video lessons, instantly, there are also Master Courses which you can purchase and own for life.
So Evolve University offers you both the monthly subscription option but also excellent video courses featuring muay thai world champions including video courses on muay thai clinch, distance control, fundamentals and a special series featuring Nong-O and Sam-A where they teach their styles.
Which Muay Thai Online Course to Choose?
Which muay thai online course is the best for you?
This depends on whether or not you are willing to spend the money to get structured lessons from highly qualified and accomplished muay thai fighters.
But even with the free lessons and instruction discussed above you can really go a long way in your muay thai solo training and learning from home.
So whether you are a beginner wanting to learn the basics or an experienced fighter wanting to improve skill and implement more solo training outside of the gym, I am sure the resources discussed in this post will help you achieve your goals.
