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.

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!
