The Techniques Of Muay Thai

A large portion of the offensive techniques used in Muay Thai specifically focus on a student’s hands, elbows, feet and knees to strike their opponent. In order to capture the opponent for both offensive and defensive reasons, there is a minimal amount of grappling on the feet that is used which is the clinch.

A grappling move called the clinch occurs when someone is within the stylists range, usually inside of his/her inner zone. This grapple is used so that it is much easier to execute knees and short kicks from the inside. Thai fighter make the clinch of great use to tie up the opponent on their feet and to start pounding on their stomach, knees, legs and ribs with pure brute strength. The Thai fighter spend most of their time training on their knees and elbow strikes which is why knees are very popular within the Muay Thai martial arts.

To the audience, high kicks or round houses to the opponents head looks and make a fight amazing, high leveled Thai fighters always say that knees and elbows have a lot more impact then any other, doing the most damage possible on the body. Depending on the experience of a Thai fighter,  the stylist can have enough power in his strikes to easily kill someone with lethal techniques.

Overall, out of all Muay Thai techniques, specifically two of them have become popular with other styles of Martial Arts which are:

The roundhouse kick is a very lethal technique for both offensive and defensive positioning, which is very efficient when it is executed properly. The stylist executes the kick by fully extending and straightening the leg putting all their force into is as they rotate the whole upper body from the hip. The hip is then locked before the strike makes impact on the opponent which can easily throw the opponent in a stats of unconsciousness.

Another very popular Muay Thai is the low kick, involves a circular movement from the stylist’s body usually to kick the opponent in his most sensitive area to achieve maximum damage to cripple the opponent. If the low kick is not blocked correctly or not at all, it can easily lead to a fighting being ended. The reason behind all this is so that after a few well placed low kicks, it will render the opponents leg useless, unable to put pressure on his legs due to bruising, and will eventually crumble.

Martial arts like Tae Kwon Do, stylists use a different type of kicking called the snapping kicks which are allot faster to execute but has much less power compared to the low kick. On the other hand, Muay Thai teaches the stylists to attack with kicks, specifically using their shins instead of their foot.  A large number of the techniques involved with Muay Thai emphasis movement with the body as a whole, which directly means that the stylist rotates his/her hips each time they kick, punches, or blocks. The techniques may be slow but they are much more powerful then the techniques within Tae Kwon Do and even Karate.

Most people know, the training and conditioning found is the martial arts of Muay Thai is known for the intensity and the rigorous training. The training in Muay Thai specifically aims to harden the weapons being used in the arts to a highest degree- legs, shins, knees, elbows. Stylists in the art of Muay Thai that have trained for many years can absorb a large amount of hits, yet if they land a kick onto your shin it will feel as if you were being hit with a baseball bat.

Overall, Muay Thai is a very dangerous martial art that teaches the stylist finishing blows with little to none grappling.  Thai stylists are physically strong and are capable of taking down an opponent of any size with a couple of well placed hits. Muay Thai is widely known throughout the Ultimate fighter Championship(UFC) and the world – which is why this art should be studied without hesitation.

A sample of defense, which is based on spoiling the principle of the attacker’s throw, is presented to enhance understanding of how the throw operates. Some historical or background information about the throws fills out this introductory but detailed analysis of each set of throwing techniques.

This video, on the Dai Ikkyo (“first teachings”), introduces the first 8 throws of the Go Kyo No Waza, the central throwing syllabus of Judo. While simplest in principle, these techniques may be difficult to master and apply in free play or contest situations. Cunningham-sensei explains the basic elements of centered action, balance, timing, stepping, alignment, and movement patterns required to achieve the most efficient application of power for the Dai Ikkyo techniques. These are information-dense videos for instruction and reference. The pace of the presentation is steady but unhurried, allowing the viewer to select and review within sections according to individual needs and preference.

These tapes should be of interest not only to Judo students, but also to students of Jujutsu, Karate, and other martial arts.
