Muay Thai Sport: Blog

Are you ready for today’s video lesson? We are back again right here to give you a free Muay Thai lesson. A friend of mine made this video and a lot more that you can also check out for yourself on YouTube. The boxing technique I’m going to talk about today is call in Thai “Sork Poong” or “The Forward Elbow Thrust”.

If you still remember, our Muay Thai video lesson from last month was the uppercut elbow. This one is not so different from that and even easier to perform. The only difference between the two moves is the direction that you throw the elbow to hit the target. In the uppercut elbow, the elbow is thrown diagonally. But in this lesson, the forward elbow thrust, the elbow will be thrown forward in front of the boxer to hit the target.

For this move, the targets are such as brow bone, nose, chin, eyes and head. How to hit the target is to raise the attacking elbow forward in a stabbing motion to the aiming targets. The common way to perform this Muay Thai technique is to use the lead forward elbow.

Let’s start by weighing your body weight onto your left leg. Keep your body up right and at the mean time raise your left elbow in readiness to hit the target. The readiness means bending the arm so that the tip of your left elbow is pointing out forward to the opponent making the upper arm horizontal with the ground and folding the forearm back so that the fist is right next to your cheek.

To add more force to the move, lean yourself forward bending your left knee and extending the right leg while thrusting the tip of your elbow very fast to the target. Here’s the video:

If you’re still new with Muay Thai and this Muay Thai technique is new to you. May I suggest that you do it with your Thai Boxing trainer? That way you won’t make mistake or at least you will be able to correct it.

Last time we were talking about the straight punch or straight fist. Today we’re going to add more with a little something with that move. I call it “another straight punch”. Basically it’s another straight punch of Muay Thai.

The technique has a Thai name: Prapailom Singkorn. Just ignore the Thai name. Let’s focus on the technique itself. This muay thai technique can be used for attack, defense or even escape. The boxer will throw a straight right punch while twisting the body to add more power or force to the fist creating more impact. The most important thing to be considered is the distance between the two fighters. To get closer to your opponent, take a step forward by using your right foot. The power or strength will automatically be transferred from your moving leg to the moving forward body and to the hitting fist. The targets of this Thai boxing move are such as head or chin.

To the attack: This straight fist or punch can be brushed away or swept away by a fist or an arm. If your opponent is using the straight punch creating by using his right fist, you can deflect this attack with your left arm or left fist to wipe the punch to the left outward.

To the defense: To stop this punch, the boxer can use his right kick throwing to the other boxer’s abdomen. If the boxer is left-handed, this counter kick can be done by using left leg.

There’s nothing much to it. You will be able to perform this Muay Thai move in no time. Give and a try and don’t forget to check back for more of free Thai boxing lessons right here. Have a great day and fun with Muay Thai.

Welcome to our blog! Thanks for checking back with us. I apologize for the long absence. Now I got a little more free time to write something useful for Muay Thai fans like us and I hope you would like them.

Today I wanna try something new to this blog. I have studied Muay Thai for quite some time and read a lot of books or articles and did some research about Thai Boxing. So I realized I should share what I know to you. I think it will be great for beginners. And feel free to add comments or correct me if I wrote something wrong.

Let’s begin with the very beginning lesson of Muay Thai “How to do a straight fist”. This Muay Thai technique is used for attacking, defending and escaping depending on the situation. The straight left fist or the left swing will be thrown by the boxer, or you in this case, directly specifically at the target. The targets for this Muay Thai move are such as your opponent’s eyes, nose or chin.

There are ways to make the punch more powerful. The tips are to use the knuckles for attack and to combine it with a twist of your shoulders. And for more effective result, follow this move by another trick or blow and at the mean time focus on what you’re doing and watch out for any counter attack. Since it is possible that you could miss the target while throwing the punch and left yourself open vulnerable.

What if your opponent use this move with you, here’s what you can do. Ensure that this Muay Thai technique will not land on your face solidly. You can ward it off with your right arm and, at the mean time, protect your face with both fists and try to move away as quickly as possible from any oncoming attacks.

To the defense, because the left side would normally remain open when the fist is executed. Use your right knee throwing it to the attacker’s left rib.
