Muay Thai Sport: Blog

Welcome back! Muay Thai Moves at our blog is still moving on and today Muay Thai boran moves is called “the bent fist”. I hope you like the lessons so far. However, I might not have done the job perfectly so if you see I wrote something wrong about Muay Thai technique, please feel free to correct me right below the comment. But so far I think the lessons are pretty good, especially for newbie. Who knows you might learn something from here that you will never get to learn from your boxing gym.

Since some of these are ancient Muay Thai moves, you might think you don’t need to know. However, I found that a lot of professional Muay thai fighters also need to learn ancient moves to get improved. So why wait, let’s take a look at Today’s lesson.

Its ancient name is Khok Nasa. But that doesn’t describe why it is the bent fist move. This move is perfect for attack. To start the move, throw the punch while bending the elbow and deliver the blow from the side downwards. Aim for the targets like nose, or jaws. To create more force to the punch, also twist or bed the inner wrist while punching and also step forward with your left foot and twist the body to the left (when you’re using the right punch).

To the attack: Do not look down on the boxer’s feet or ground to avoid the uppercuts. To defense against this Muay Thai fist, the left hand should be held up to block the incoming blow from your left side. The left arm is then used to wipe away the boxer’s punching fist outwards. Keep balance by swaying yourself a bit.

To the defense: Attack your opponent’s right rib with your left knee kick. Reverse the side of your knee kick if the blow is coming from the other way.

It’s time for another Muay Thai Learning Clip. The move we are talking about today is called “The Elbow Chop”. This move is pretty easy to understand but hardly find the right time to get a chance to use it. I hope you like the video made by a friend of mine. See the whole video series in YouTube if you like.

This Muay Thai elbow or Sork is called “the elbow chop” or “Sork Sap” in Thai. It is used for such targets like head, face or collar-bone. If you do things right, this Muay Thai technique can help you winning the fight because it’s pretty deadly if you ask me. Interested now? There’s nothing to it. You can bring your elbow vertically down to impact onto the target. And if you use both elbow for this matter, it will be called “the double elbow chop” or “Sok sap koo”.

However, the only time you can use this move is when your opponent is in a lower position for example while he’s stooping, or if he’s shorter than you.

Two ways to get your elbow in ready position for the hit are: to bring your arm or both arms straight up high above the opponent’s head before bring it vertically down powerfully to the target. Second way to do it is to bend the elbow pointing the elbow to the top of the opponent’s head placing the fist right over your shoulder, then bring it down causing the point of your elbow to hit the target.

There are two types of Muay thai elbow chop : Rear elbow chop and Lead elbow chop.

Let’s start with the rear elbow chop. Start with the boxing stance as always. Twist the body, shoulder, hip and extend the back leg. Raise the arm up ready for attacking and boom.

For the lead Muay Thai elbow chop, do the same without any twisting.
I hope you like the demonstration in the video. Rate it if you think it’s useful or perhaps recommend to your friends. See you soon.

Welcome back to Muay Thai Boran Lessons or Ancient Muay Thai Lessons if you want to call it that. Thanks for coming back regularly and for those of you who accidentally came here, well you’re lucky. Because right here we give away Muay Thai lessons for free. Even though these are Muay Thai Boran techniques, I’m sure these will be useful for you.

Muay Thai is not an easy sport. Long time ago it was really used in battles. So pay attention and look out for knowledge. Any possible things you can use and adapt to improve your Muay Thai skill. Enough chitchat. Let’s get started with our today’s lesson.

Turn Front Side Punch or Prakan Perd Lok is a Muay Thai technique used for defense or escape. Here’s how to do it. The boxer or you will take a step forward and proceed to throw a right or left uppercut to your opponent’s chin which is the main target of this move. You can use either left or right hand for this matter, however, the fist you use should be delivered from the inside only. Since it will put you in a vulnerable situation if you throw the punch from the outside because the opponent can easily wipe away the punch or counter attack due to you give him a lot of time to defense-attack while gaining the force pulling the fist back.

To the attack: The boxer or you have to use your left hand to create a sweeping move and sweep away the opponent’s arm downwards. While doing this, lean you head back to get away from oncoming uppercut.

To the defense: Your left foot kick will do the trick. Use your left foot to kick the opponent in the abdomen area. You can also deliver your elbow to the opponent’s face. Reverse the side of the foot for counter attack if the opponent is left handed or uses his left hand for the turn front side punch.

That’s it for today’s lesson. I hope to see you come back to learn more because I won’t stop putting them here. More lessons are waiting. Enjoy your Muay Thai and see you next time.

Welcome back to our Muay Thai learning clip! The first time I started writing about the lessons I didn’t expect that there would be quite a lot of people read them, let alone like them. But as it turns out, I got some good feedback about the lessons and will definitely continue writing them. So thank so much guys.

Today is another Muay Thai elbow lesson. We will finish the elbow moves soon enough and will continue with the thai boxing knee right after, so don’t forget to check back whenever you can to complete all Muay Thai moves for free right here.

The elbow move today is the Reverse Horizontal Elbow or Sok Gratoong or Sok Wiang Glap. This Thai boxing technique is ideal for attacking target like the side of the opponent’s face. There are two ways to perform this technique creating two different results. The elbow is thrown horizontally back combining with the movement of your elbow, shoulder, waist, hip and leg to add more power to the attack.

First is the lead reverse horizontal elbow. This particular technique is used as an attack when you’re in close range to the opponent. You start with twisting your left shoulder, waist, hip and leg to the right with speed and strength. Then follow that by swinging the ready elbow back horizontally to hit the target using the point of your elbow.

The Rear Reverse Horizontal Elbow will do great as a follow-on move. Use this Thai boxing technique when other elbow attacks like the elbow slash or the horizontal elbow is failed to hit the target. Look at it as an opportunity and turn it into an advantage by retracting the elbow back with speed and impact the point of the elbow against to side of your opponent’s head. For example, if you’re using the right horizontal elbow and it misses the target, swing the elbow further to the left and pull it horizontally to the ground back forcefully to the right along the same path to hit the target.

Practice this with your Thai boxing master. You will be able to do this boxing move in no time and you will enjoy Muay Thai even more.

Welcome back to our Muay Thai sport blog! If you can recall, last 2 months’ lesson was also about Muay Thai Straight Punch. Today’s straight fist will be a little bit different. As you can see now, there are more than 1 ways to perform a direct punch in Thai Boxing. So, knowing as many as you can will definitely be advantage.

However, as I always tell you, if possible I would recommend you to always train Muay Thai especially every time when you want to start a new move with your Muay Thai trainer unless you have passed all the basic lessons. Memorized the wrong moves are hard to be fixed later on.

In Thailand, they named this boxing technique “Wanorn Hak Dan”. I’m not sure where and how they got that name but it doesn’t matter. What really matter is to understand it and know how to use it well. The move is often used for attack, defense and escape. You can do it by throwing a swinging right fist to deliver a traverse punch. However, to be able to succeed, the boxer must get closer to his opponent by stepping forward with his left foot while delivering the punch to support a greater weight of the body and using the right leg to be the secondary support in the rear. With a twist of your body, the power will be transferred from the leg to the body and to the fist. The aiming targets for this Muay Thai move are jaws and the left part of the ribcage.

To the attack: To escape from this direct punch, brush or wipe it away by using your left fist or arm when the boxer is using his right fist to deliver the straight punch. Alternate the arm or fist if the boxer uses the left fist for this move.

To the defense: Stop the punch by throwing a strong left knee kick to your opponent’s right abdomen. If the fighter uses his left fist for the punch, counter kick by another knee.

That’s it for today. Do not forget to check back later for more Muay Thai lessons. And remember they are free. Anyway feel free to leave some comments and if you think these given Muay Thai lessons are useful, recommend this blog to your boxing friends. Enjoy!
