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.
