All levels are welcome at AKA Thailand. This includes seasoned professionals and day 1 beginners. Muay Thai trainer, Kru Bird, shows beginner Muay Thai for anyone who is interested in starting their training in the discipline. Some of the moves seem simple, but everything has to start somewhere.
Proper Stance:
Before any strike can even be thrown, simply standing the right way is lesson number one in Muay Thai. Feet, hip, and arm positioning are paramount here.
Basic Jab
The simplest of any strike and also the most effective at measuring and keeping your opponent at range is the jab.
Jab 1-2 Combo
Here, Kru Bird shows us how to stand properly and throw an effective Jab 1-2 combination.
1-2 Hook combo
The jab then 2, followed by a hook can usually be a knockout blow in a fight. Kru Bird shows how to properly twist the trunk of your body to ensure solid power of the hook.
1-2 Uppercut
Similar to the 1-2 hook combo, instead of finishing off with a hook, here you throw the punch that no one sees coming. The uppercut comes from seemingly out of nowhere and Kru Bird shows how to effectively twist your body the correct way to ensure proper form.
