Muay Thai timer with 5×3 minute rounds
Five rounds of three minutes with two minutes of rest: that is how it is fought in Thailand, and how you train here. The timer is already set up — the combo callouts shout Muay Thai combinations with teeps, elbows and knees at you. Free, no sign-up.
Round formats in Muay Thai
Muay Thai has a fixed professional format. Training follows it so pace, breathing and rest feel familiar when it counts.
| Use | Format | Rest |
|---|---|---|
| Pro fight (Thai rules) | 5 rounds × 3 min | 2 min |
| Amateur fight | often 3 rounds × 3 min | about 1 min – depends on the federation |
| Gym training (pads, bag) | 5 rounds × 3 min | 1–2 min |
| Beginners & technique | 3–5 rounds × 2 min | 1 min |
How to train with the Muay Thai timer
- Pad and bag rounds (5×3) — one focus per round: teep and low kick, elbows and knees, clinch work on the bag, a free round.
- Technique rounds (5×2) — the same technique for a whole round, clean and slow first, then faster. You can switch the combo callouts off for these.
- Finisher — after the rounds, a Tabata block with knees and punch flurries.
- Training as a team — “Share link” sends the configured timer to your training group.

Frequently asked questions
How long is a round in Muay Thai?
In a professional fight under Thai rules a round lasts 3 minutes, and five rounds are fought with 2 minutes of rest. Amateur bouts often use shorter formats such as 3 × 3 minutes; details depend on the federation.
What rest period is normal in Muay Thai?
Two minutes in professional fights. In training, 1 to 2 minutes is common: shorter rest raises intensity, longer rest leaves room for technique corrections.
How do the combo callouts work in Muay Thai mode?
At the interval you set, the timer picks a random combination from the Muay Thai pool — including teeps, low kicks, elbows and knees — and speaks it. It also appears in large type on the display.
Can I use the timer on my phone in the gym?
Yes. While the timer runs, the page keeps your screen awake where your browser allows it. Set the volume so you can hear the bell at the bag.
