Are you ready for the next Thai Boxing lesson clip? The next lesson is still one of the Muay Thai Cherng Sork or elbow, “The Mid Air Elbow strike” or “Sork Kra Dode” or “Jumping Elbow”. It’s not that hard to perform but you need to be skillful at other powerful elbow hits since in this Muay Thai technique the fighter will have to make a Muay Thai elbow strike while in the air.

The Boxer can use the forceful Mid-Air Elbow strike to hit his opponent at the face or head or collar bone. The reason why this jumping elbow is extra powerful is because the elbow attack will best be performed at the point of landing that’s how the boxer’s body weight will add to the blow making the impact great.

Which elbow strike should you use? It can be any Muay Thai elbow technique but the recommended is the Elbow Chop which is perfect and very convenient to used even while jumping. And the sharp point of elbow together with the boxer’s weight while jumping down will create a very dreadful result to the opponent.
