Muay Thai Boran Punches 14: Ruesee Luem Yan
Also known as “The Unreal Fists”! I know you are now wondering why it is called that way. Check this out and I hope you can make this move become useful to you.
This technique can be performed using either the left or right hand, thus benefiting both left-handed and right-handed fighters. For instance, a left-handed boxer may opt to deliver a punch with his left fist. Before doing so, he would first have to push out with his right arm to mislead the opponent.
As the right fist is held in the act of being thrown, the opponent gets the wrong perception that he will be hit by your right fist. Impulsively, he will then sway his body to the right side in order to avoid the potential attack. As he does this, however, you stop the action of your right arm and then throw the unexpected left punch to his right jaw, which is now unguarded.
This “unreal fists” technique can also be used to target other parts of the body apart from the head area, such as the neck, the ribs, or the abdomen.
Remember to practice the move with your Muay Thai master because he will know the best and will see your mistake and correct it. Do not leave it until it’s too late to fix your mistake because that would be too difficult.
