Breaking the Muay Thai Plateau: The Truth About Real Progress | Pu'u Muay Thai Podcast Ep. 216

You’ve been training Muay Thai for months—maybe even a year or two—and it feels like you’re stuck. You’re showing up, putting in the work, but your progress has slowed down. In this episode, Jonathan Puu, host of the Pu’u Muay Thai Podcast, breaks down why that feeling happens and how to push through it.

This episode explores the Dunning-Kruger effect—why your awareness may be growing faster than your skill—and how this illusion can make even good students doubt themselves. Jonathan shares practical ways to overcome the plateau, including:
🥊 Tracking your training and filming sessions
🧠 Understanding “invisible improvements” that don’t show right away
💪 Building resilience through consistency and community

If you’ve ever felt like quitting Muay Thai or doubted your progress, this episode will show you that you’re not falling behind—you’re right where you need to be.
