Muay Thai Boran Punches 12: Naka Pon Fai Kan
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.
