1. Progress: Start from the combat stance. The front foot moves forward one step, and the back foot follows immediately, and then immediately returns to the actual combat posture.

2. Back off: Start from a combat stance. The back foot moves one step backward, and the front foot follows and immediately returns to the combat stance.

3. Sprint step: Start from a combat posture, step forward with the front foot about 75 cm, and at the same time sweep the right hand upward. When the hand sweeps upward, the hips twist forward almost at the same time to drive the body forward. Then the front foot lands, and the back foot follows and quickly returns to the combat posture.

4. Quick step back: Start from a combat posture, stomp the ground with your front foot quickly, use the rebound force to rush your body backwards, at this moment move your body's center of gravity to your back foot, and at the same time bend backwards to accumulate strength, push and stretch quickly, and coordinate your body to rush backwards. At the moment before your back foot touches the ground, your front foot touches the ground first, followed by your back foot landing and quickly returning to the combat posture.

5. Flash step: Start from the combat posture, move the front foot (left foot) to the outside of the body (left side) about 25 to 35 cm. When the front foot lands lightly, the right leg provides thrust. At the moment the front foot touches the ground, the front shoulder (left shoulder) turns to the inside of the body (right side), the center of gravity of the body moves forward, and the back foot moves quickly to resume the combat posture.

6. Circle step: Starting from the actual combat posture, the back foot moves about 25 to 35 cm to the inside (right side) of the body, then the front foot moves quickly and returns to the actual combat posture.

7. Forward slide: Based on the actual combat posture, the front foot moves forward, and the back foot immediately moves forward, almost stepping forward to the original front foot position. When the back foot is about to touch the front foot, the front foot moves forward quickly and quickly returns to the actual combat posture.

8. Back slide: The front foot quickly retreats. When the front foot is about to touch the back foot, the back foot quickly retreats to quickly return to the actual combat posture.

There are eight main footwork steps in Muay Thai practice, which also includes footwork from other martial arts. You must learn them correctly and practice them regularly to make progress. If you just treat it as a physical exercise, you must do it regularly. When practicing Muay Thai, you must prepare yourself before exercise to prevent physical discomfort caused by inadequate preparation, which can also easily cause injuries to the joints or body, which will cause harm and irritation to the patient. These problems must be avoided.
