The Learning Clips still go on. Now we are doing the punching section. That’s right, this is going to be another great Muay Thai collection where you can come in and take a look, so you can practice Muay Thai at home. That easy!
Fist in Thai is called “Mud” and to punch called “shok”, so this is for your information, so that when you heard these two words you will know what it is about.
As you know there are a lot of styles of punching in Thai Boxing. And of course we are not able to list and make a short clip for each of them but we try our best. I hope you like them.
Today’s punch is the most basic one, the straight punch or Mud Dhrong (Dhrong means straight). The targets aimed are eye-sockets, chin, nose or mouth.
How to do it is nothing much to explain. Just throw a direct punch forwards towards the targets, keeping the palm downwards. The reason is because you want the back of your knuckles hit the targets for the best impact.
The power of the Mud Dhrong is from twisting the shoulders, hips, and heel at the same time. Now it’s time for you to take a look at our short clip. Enjoy!
There are two types of straight punch; first is the Cross and another is the Jab. Basically the cross is Mud Dhrong with the rear fist and the Jab is the straight punch with the lead fist. Really simple! So now you can see that the clip above is called the Cross.
Don’t forget to keep your palm downwards always for the greatest impact on the aimed targets.
