Welcome to MuayThaiSport.com/weblog! Our MuayThai lesson continues today. We are still talking about the footwork.
In Thai Boxing, footwork is really important. It can help you avoid your opponent’s attack, give you an advantage over your enemy and put your opponent where he can’t attack you. This is why learning Muay Thai from the basic like footwork is really crucial.
The Step-Slide Shuffle or in Thai called “Sueb Tao” is a method of footwork that you will move your feet slid along the ground or the ring’s floor or you can also slightly lift your feet a little bit, the one that you can see in our short clip.
There are 2 variations: forward and backward. Too bad we only have the forward move for you to see. Now let’s take a look at the clip first then I’ll tell you step by step of now to perform the move yourself.
As you can see, for the forward Step-Slide Shuffle, you have to move with you right or left foot, sliding along the floor or lift it a little bit along the ground then you will pull your following foot in towards the first one with the same technique (slide or slightly lift).
The backward move is like the forward in the method which is move your first foot backwards then pull the other back in towards the first one. You can slide your feet or slightly lift them either way you prefer.
I hope that wasn’t too hard. Keep practicing at your own home or at the gym you join. I’ll be back again with another FREE great lesson with the easy to follow video clip. Please let us know your feedback by adding your comment right here below. See you next time same time same place right here.
