Yo /asp/
I'm an amateur lifter, who picked up muay thai a month ago.
I took a liking to it, but I have some problems with my fundamentals, namely cardio, flexibility and balance.
I already started doing daily stretches so that should help in time, and I also go jogging at least once a week, but that will increase when spring comes around.
What I can't really think of is how to improve my balance.
Any tips/ideas you guys can share?

tl;dr: Are there any exercises I can do after my workouts to improve my balance?

Well for kicks you could try throwing like twenty kicks with every foot, slowly and controled after every training.

Jump rope, jump rope, jump rope.

I have no access to poles like these, but what's the name I can look this up by?
>>882210
basically meaning it would get better through the training itself?
>>882223
neat, I was thinking about picking up jumproping as a means of cardio
how come it helps with balance?

Shove a dildo up your ass, it'll help with your balance.

Jump rope is what boxers use to train footwork, cardio and balance. Don't ask how, just do it. If it works for millions of combat athletes around the globe, it must be legitimate.

plum blossom poles or meihua.
Don't even have to be big tall poles tbph.
You can use firewood, short stumps, big rocks, garden paver stones or even a hop-skotch-esque pattern on the ground.
I even found a portable version. http://suninsunka.blogspot.com/2012/03/meihua-saga-continues.html

You could also practice kicks on a balance beam, take up skating, dance lessons or look-up some agility drills on youtube.

Not sure how jumping rope works exactly, but it forces you to concentrate on how your feet land while you keep time with the rope. It makes your calves strong too, and that makes balancing easier.

cool, thanks

Yes, in training you mainly throw kicks with a focus on speed and power, doing it slow means you work on control and balance
