Muay Thai Training Exercises

(Ben Green) #1

Follow-up technique: spinning elbow


Execution
Mislead the opponent with a straight punch or side hook.
Move your foot on the same side of your body so that it
points to the outside, and turn across this foot. Continue
with a spinning elbow. The strike can be aimed from
below to the chin, or laterally from the outside to the jaw.
If you feint with a left punch, turn clockwise and hit with
your right elbow. If you feint with a right punch, turn
counterclockwise and hit with your left elbow.


A–D: Kem (left) feints with a straight punch. His opponent
tries to defend against the punch and changes his guard. Kem
steps forward with his left foot, turns clockwise, and continues
with a spinning elbow.
