Basic Muay Thai Techniques In the early days, Muay Thai was used for unarmed combat on the battlefield. It mimics the techniques of soldiers fighting with weapons. Let's take a look at the different Muay Thai techniques before getting into the methods for improving your Muay Thai skills:
Punches are among the fastest and most natural weapons in Muay Thai, which is a stand-up striking style. There are punches in nearly every stand-up martial art including boxing, karate, and many forms of kung fu. Compared with kicks, punches require less energy to execute, but if executed properly, they can knock out or send an opponent to his knees. Traditional boxing techniques influence Muay Thai punching techniques. In addition to jabs and straight punches (also called crosses), hooks and uppercuts are also used. PUNCHES
ELBOWS Most commonly associated with Muay Thai, the elbow strike is a signature technique. In the human body, the elbow is the hardest and sharpest bone, making it the most dangerous weapon. When throwing an elbow in Muay Thai, you can knock (like a hammer) or slash (like a dagger) your opponent. Muay Thai elbow strikes have often ended fights with devastating results, leaving deep gashes or outright knockouts. From different angles and directions, elbows can be thrown horizontally, upward, downward (12-6), or from a jump for greater impact.
Human knees are the largest joints in the body. Knee strikes are thrown in a stabbing motion and are similar to spears in Muay Thai. A knee strike usually targets the ribs, but it can also target the head like an axe with a flying/jumping knee. In terms of knees, you can either perform them within the clinch or outside at medium range. Statistics-wise, knee KOs are less frequent than other techniques, but they still happen. There are several basic Muay Thai knee techniques, including the straight knee that is aimed at the sternum or abdomen, the diagonal knee that is thrown to the ribs or the side, and the jump knee that is aimed at the head. KNEES
KICKS There are few weapons in martial arts as powerful as the Muay Thai kick. If the technique is perfected and conditioned, it can generate a great deal of force. All Muay Thai fighters rely on Muay Thai kicks as their bread and butter. Muay Thai kicks score higher under traditional Muay Thai rules, and they can finish fights as demonstrated in several instances. There are three basic kick techniques in Muay Thai: the roundhouse kick, the low kick, and the push kick (teep).
How to Improve Muay Thai Training consistently and giving your best during sessions is the key to improving Muay Thai. As well as training with the right gear, you also need to be in the right environment aYou should exert yourself, but also train intelligently. hard but also train smart. The following are some tips for getting better at Muay Thai:
TRAIN WITH QUALIFIED INSTRUCTOR Finding the right gym to train at can be easier if you ask around for recommendations. Muay Thai instruction can be provided by a qualified instructor with the proper credentials to ensure you learn the correct techniques and not a diluted version. Muay Thai rules should be taught to good trainers who have competed professionally.
FOCUS ON FORM The majority of beginners ignore the importance of form in favor of power. Form and technique will give beginners the power they need to achieve their goals. In order to deliver maximum power, one must rotate the hips and swing the arm back. Using the correct form can also help prevent injuries. A qualified instructor can correct your form at this point, which is why having one is important. You should start out slow, then work your way up to the next power level.
WATCH TRAINING & FIGHT VIDEOS Another great way to improve outside of training hours is to watch the greats at work. The best way to learn about champions and elite fighters is by watching them train or fight. It is possible to emulate their technique, movement, and ringcraft in your next training session or sparring session by studying their technique, movement, and ringcraft.
SHADOW BOXING Shadow boxing is often overlooked by people who just go through the motions. You can check your form while shadow boxing in front of a mirror and challenge yourself to think of creative combinations. Shadow boxing is great for developing your muscle memory and movement because you cannot spar all the time.
TRAIN IN THAILAND Muay Thai training in Thailand is one of the most effective ways to improve your skills. It is an enriching and inspiring experience to train twice a day with professional Muay Thai fighters in an authentic environment.
