Essential Footwork
Learning the proper footwork in Muay Thai is a fundamental skill to effectively utilizing the weapons of the fist, foot, knee, and elbow. No one is going to stand there and just allow you to hit them with heavy weapons. In order to successfully strike your opponent, your distance and accuracy must be correct. Without a firm grasp of the footwork, you will never be able to consistently control your distance from the opponent, making it difficult, if not impossible, to execute your attack with much probability of landing your weapon on the target. And so, learning and developing skill in the Muay Thai footwork is required for progressing beyond a beginner level.
-
Essential Offense
The basic offensive techniques in Muay Thai use hands, elbows, kicks and knees to punch and kick the opponent. To hinder an opponent for both offensive and defensive purposes, small amounts of stand-up grappling are used: the clinch. Defensively, the shoulders, arms and legs are used to thwart the attacker from successfully executing his techniques. Almost all techniques in Muay Thai use the entire body movement, rotating the hip with each kick, punch and block.
-
Essential Defense
If you want to compete in Muay Thai at a high level, your defense needs to be on point. Failing to block incoming strikes will lead to unnecessary damage that can impact you in the long term. While some fighters pride themselves on having a strong chin, after years of punishment those fighters often suffer from severe concussions and memory loss when they retire. While it is important to know how to take a punch, that should be your last line of defense. A proper defense involves blocking, parrying, avoiding, redirecting, and countering strikes before they land.
