The Mid-Air Elbow Strike is also called in Thai “Sok Kradod or Kradod Sok”. Use this Muay Thai technique for impacting the targets like your opponent’s head, face or collar-bone. If you can recall, these are the same targets as the Muay Thai Chop or Sok Sap from last article. Anyway, the reason is because it’s basically the same move, but this time you’re doing it in the mid-air or while you’re jumping in the air at the point of coming down landing. You can apply this jumping elbow move with another elbow moves. Instead of the elbow chop, you can use the horizontal elbow hit while jumping. To be more successful, jump as high as possible and strike the elbow down to your opponent’s head as fast and as hard as possible at the point of landing on the ground. And always remain the boxing stance position while landing that you can either land with your both feet or just one.

Let’s do the move. First bend your knees for extra power for taking off and leap into the air as high as possible. Twist your body to the left just like when you do the right elbow chop. When you’re about to land, strike hard onto the target with speed.

I hope you like the clip and this move. Actually this is my own favorite muay thai move and let me tell ya it’s not that easy as it looks. What’s your fav?

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.
