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.
