EHC Red Bull München: Thai Boxing Training During Summer Preparation
All players will return to Munich by early August and then begin preparing together for the 2026–27 DEL season. Some of our guys have already been keeping in shape in Munich over the summer.
In addition to strength and endurance training, the program currently includes Thai boxing. This not only builds stamina and coordination but also improves reaction time and body tension—skills that can make all the difference on the ice.
“Movement Patterns and Coordination Are Key”
“Generally speaking, in the summer we place a strong emphasis on endurance in addition to strength and core training. Alongside training on the ergometer and running on the treadmill or outdoors, we offer the guys a welcome change of pace in their endurance training with Thai boxing. In Thai boxing, the movement patterns and coordination aspects are particularly important to us,” explains fitness trainer Tobias Bammer.
The sessions focused on various distances and incorporated new and more complex movement patterns, each of which presented new technical challenges. It is precisely these elements of coordination that make the training particularly valuable for hockey players.
“We enjoy Thai boxing because it’s a completely different kind of physical challenge, but we’re learning a lot from it,” says Philipp Krening.
Variety, intensity, and new challenges: Through Thai boxing, our team is working on key skills this summer that will be essential on the ice during the new season.
