Advanced Muay Thai Techniques

[disgruntled]

i just read a bit on a book called advanced Muay Thai Techniques on my lunch break and i thought there was some really cool tips for counter attacks and attacks that i thought i should share.

- if some one is about to round house kick you, teep their supporting foot
- if someone straight punches you, block with the mirror side arm and then slide the arm over their arm and punch their face
- if someone is about to straight punch you, step into it while doing a upper block and then throw and upper cut to their chin.
- feign a round house, but last minute pull it in an do a teep to the face
- feign a teep, and if they lower their guard slightly, instead of kicking, use the momentum to step forward into a straight punch.

from the clinch (i found these the most interesting):

- if the person is taller than you, get an undergrip position and wrap your arms tight around their rib cage to hinder their breathing. then, while maintaining tight pressure, push their rib cage away from you to open up a knee. (NOTE: if their breathing is not restricted they may find it easy to counter attack)
- if some one has you in a really tight grip, pulling your neck down and making it hard to breathe, turn your hips into them while thrusting up your (inside) arm through their grip. this should allow you to stand up in more control and breathe better. the arm that is thrust up is then used to slam down an elbow to their neck.
- use a thigh kick or a tailbone kick when in the clinch because they can not block their back. (not sure if allowed in competition rules)
