Muay Thai Classic

Welcome back to our blog! We are still continuing with Muay Thai Boran’s punching moves and right now we are at number 13.

The trick of learning Muay Thai Boran from this article is that you should practice it with your Muay Thai trainer who is familiar with the moves because sometimes the writing here is not clear enough and you might misunderstand something. Your trainer will be there to correct your move and give your move advice about the move.

Let’s start with the move of today. “Hak Dan Lom Krod” is the Thai name of “Throwing the Fists and Elbows”. Here below is the explanation of the move that you can follow.

This move is used for attack, defense, and escape. It is actually a two-step move, the first punching with a fist, and the second, using the elbow of the same limb. First, the boxer delivers a punch, straight to the opponent’s left jaw, with his right hand. As he steps forward with his right foot to come nearer, he then delivers another blow, this time using his right elbow. It can be directed at either the same target or at the opponent’s neck.

Deal with this attack: The boxer’s blows should be wiped to the left using the left arm. One can also throw the tip of one’s foot to the boxer’s midsection.

Deal with this defense: Perform a quick right kick aimed at the boxer’s left rib. If the boxer uses his left fist and elbow to strike, then you must use your right arm to Attack the blows and deliver a swift kick to his rib with your left leg.

This will be our twelfth Muay Thai Cherng Mud already. And that means there are only 3 more to go and then we will get to start the next move, the elbow moves. We expect to do that at the beginning of the next month so if you want the complete Muay Thai Boran moves, don’t go anywhere!

I really hope this article will help those of you who want to learn a bit more about Muay Thai. This stuff you might never get to learn in the gym you go to because they are ancient and are not allowed to be used in regular boxing fights today.

“Cross Switch Punch” is the name for this move today. This 1-2-3 combination is mainly used for attack. The boxer first throws a left uppercut aimed at the opponent’s abdomen. He then takes a lateral step with his right foot to deliver a straight punch with his right arm, directed at the other fighter’s chin. This is immediately followed up with another punch to the chin, this time with the left fist.

Deal with this attack: In order to avoid this deadly combination, one should move away from the aggressor to increase the distance between them and keep the boxer from throwing consecutive kicks and punches. After stepping back and gaining your composure, forcefully throw your left foot towards the boxer’s vulnerable or unguarded areas.

Deal with this defense: If the distance between you and the attacker is not great, you can throw your right knee to the boxer’s abdomen as a counter-attack. If he is a leftie, reverse the moves from one side to the other.
