Muay Thai Moves: Turn Front Side Punch

February 3rd, 2010

Welcome back to Muay Thai Boran Lessons or Ancient Muay Thai Lessons if you want to call it that. Thanks for coming back regularly and for those of you who accidentally came here, well you’re lucky. Because right here we give away Muay Thai lessons for free. Even though these are Muay Thai Boran techniques, I’m sure these will be useful for you.

Muay Thai is not an easy sport. Long time ago it was really used in battles. So pay attention and look out for knowledge. Any possible things you can use and adapt to improve your Muay Thai skill. Enough chitchat. Let’s get started with our today’s lesson.

Turn Front Side Punch or Prakan Perd Lok is a Muay Thai technique used for defense or escape. Here’s how to do it. The boxer or you will take a step forward and proceed to throw a right or left uppercut to your opponent’s chin which is the main target of this move. You can use either left or right hand for this matter, however, the fist you use should be delivered from the inside only. Since it will put you in a vulnerable situation if you throw the punch from the outside because the opponent can easily wipe away the punch or counter attack due to you give him a lot of time to defense-attack while gaining the force pulling the fist back.

To the attack: The boxer or you have to use your left hand to create a sweeping move and sweep away the opponent’s arm downwards. While doing this, lean you head back to get away from oncoming uppercut.

To the defense: Your left foot kick will do the trick. Use your left foot to kick the opponent in the abdomen area. You can also deliver your elbow to the opponent’s face. Reverse the side of the foot for counter attack if the opponent is left handed or uses his left hand for the turn front side punch.

That’s it for today’s lesson. I hope to see you come back to learn more because I won’t stop putting them here. More lessons are waiting. Enjoy your Muay Thai and see you next time.

Our new MMA gloves

January 30th, 2010

Welcome back! Who’s here is an MMA fighter? We have launched new MMA products in our store a few months ago but didn’t have time to talk about them yet.

It’s kinda new to our store since we’d only been selling Muay Thai equipment before. So now to be good in the business, I have to learn more about MMA and its products or equipments. So I did some research online on how to pick an MMA gloves.

The purpose of MMA gloves is just like Muay Thai gloves. The gloves are for absorbing the impact from the blow that might damage the knuckles. Good MMA gloves should be durable, light weight and allow the mobility of your hands.

MMA fighters need to use their hand for grapping. So if wearing MMA gloves that don’t feel comfortable and don’t allow the wearer to move their hand and fingers freely, then those are not the gloves you’re looking for.

Light weight gloves are best for high level fighters. The professional MMA gloves weigh about 4 oz. Amateur MMA gloves will weigh more. The reason is not different from Muay Thai gloves. Heavier gloves are perfect for learning and practicing and good for building muscles. Lighter gloves are great for fighting as they allow the MMA fighters to move their hands with greater speed.

Look for durable gloves when it’s time to invent for ones. Durable gloves will last much longer than the cheap material ones. Real leather is what you’re looking for.

Ask your trainer is the best way to go since there are a few types of MMA gloves to choose from.
Here are the samples of what we have. Check out our store for more.

Muay Thai Learning Clip: Reverse Horizontal Elbow

January 27th, 2010

Welcome back to our Muay Thai learning clip! The first time I started writing about the lessons I didn’t expect that there would be quite a lot of people read them, let alone like them. But as it turns out, I got some good feedback about the lessons and will definitely continue writing them. So thank so much guys.

Today is another Muay Thai elbow lesson. We will finish the elbow moves soon enough and will continue with the thai boxing knee right after, so don’t forget to check back whenever you can to complete all Muay Thai moves for free right here.

The elbow move today is the Reverse Horizontal Elbow or Sok Gratoong or Sok Wiang Glap. This Thai boxing technique is ideal for attacking target like the side of the opponent’s face. There are two ways to perform this technique creating two different results. The elbow is thrown horizontally back combining with the movement of your elbow, shoulder, waist, hip and leg to add more power to the attack.

First is the lead reverse horizontal elbow. This particular technique is used as an attack when you’re in close range to the opponent. You start with twisting your left shoulder, waist, hip and leg to the right with speed and strength. Then follow that by swinging the ready elbow back horizontally to hit the target using the point of your elbow.

The Rear Reverse Horizontal Elbow will do great as a follow-on move. Use this Thai boxing technique when other elbow attacks like the elbow slash or the horizontal elbow is failed to hit the target. Look at it as an opportunity and turn it into an advantage by retracting the elbow back with speed and impact the point of the elbow against to side of your opponent’s head. For example, if you’re using the right horizontal elbow and it misses the target, swing the elbow further to the left and pull it horizontally to the ground back forcefully to the right along the same path to hit the target.

Practice this with your Thai boxing master. You will be able to do this boxing move in no time and you will enjoy Muay Thai even more.

If you like the lessons here, do not forget to spread around to your friends!

Muay Thai Gloves Review

January 24th, 2010

Welcome back! How has your new year been? Pretty good right? Are you ready to experience another pair of Muay Thai gloves? I’m talking Twins today if you wanna know. Since it’s one of the best Muay Thai factories in Thailand and millions of its products have been sold worldwide, I don’t see the reasons why not.

I have been reading reviews after reviews of Muay Thai gloves. To tell you the truth, Twins’ are not the best gloves you can ever get. However, if you compare the price and the quality, their boxing products are still at top.

There are quite some complains about its quality. I gotta admit, in this case, Twins Muay Thai gloves can’t be compared to some other brands. The quality of the materials is in OK-good grade. So in case you bang them up quite often by using them pretty much every day a week, they will start to show the sign like wrinkles or breaking in about 2-4 months.

However, the good things about Twins brand are that their prices of about 50 bucks a pair are quite reasonable with the quality. They are affordable by most boxers and great for starters. The foam at the point of the fist is quite soft so it’s great for sparring. And with the Velcro straps fasteners, their muay thai gloves are very easy to put on and take off. And since their prices are not freakingly high, you can have a collection of Muay Thai gloves and you can alternately wear them. This way your boxing gloves will last much longer.

Watch out for the fake ones that use low grade materials! Only buy all Muay Thai products from a trusted store.
