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?
