Welcome to our blog! Thanks for checking back with us. I apologize for the long absence. Now I got a little more free time to write something useful for Muay Thai fans like us and I hope you would like them.
Today I wanna try something new to this blog. I have studied Muay Thai for quite some time and read a lot of books or articles and did some research about Thai Boxing. So I realized I should share what I know to you. I think it will be great for beginners. And feel free to add comments or correct me if I wrote something wrong.
Let’s begin with the very beginning lesson of Muay Thai “How to do a straight fist”. This Muay Thai technique is used for attacking, defending and escaping depending on the situation. The straight left fist or the left swing will be thrown by the boxer, or you in this case, directly specifically at the target. The targets for this Muay Thai move are such as your opponent’s eyes, nose or chin.
There are ways to make the punch more powerful. The tips are to use the knuckles for attack and to combine it with a twist of your shoulders. And for more effective result, follow this move by another trick or blow and at the mean time focus on what you’re doing and watch out for any counter attack. Since it is possible that you could miss the target while throwing the punch and left yourself open vulnerable.
What if your opponent use this move with you, here’s what you can do. Ensure that this Muay Thai technique will not land on your face solidly. You can ward it off with your right arm and, at the mean time, protect your face with both fists and try to move away as quickly as possible from any oncoming attacks.
To the defense, because the left side would normally remain open when the fist is executed. Use your right knee throwing it to the attacker’s left rib.
