Muay Thai Classic

      Welcome to Muay Thai Classic! This is the place where you can learn all of the Muay Thai techniques used since long ago. Some of them might not be used and familiar today anymore. But it is always useful to learn from the history. And this is Muay Thai history.

     This is our last Muay Thai Boran Punches. Next time at the beginning of November, we will start the next Muay Thai Boran technique, Muay Thai Elbows. So don’t go anywhere because you might don’t want to miss all this good stuff and besides it’s free.

     The move is also known as “Throwing the Back Punch from Above”. Let’s see what this technique is all about now.

     Mainly used for defense, this action is done by bending the joint of your right elbow up to a point where it is level with the ear. In the meantime, the left fist is at an oblique position to the front. As you sway to the left to build up power, you should then throw the right punch to the opponent’s face. This punch is thrown at a downward angle, with most of the body’s weight being supported by the left foot.

            As the right punch is thrown, the left hand remains close to the face to defend against any counter-attacks directed to your face.

    Deal with this defense: The opponent should jump back, support his body with the right leg, and deliver a left kick to the boxer’s chest or midsection as soon as an opening is found. If the boxer uses his left arm to throw the punch, then the right leg should be used to kick the boxer with.

Stay tune! Next month, Muay Thai Elbows for the first time at this blog!

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.
