Here’s a recap of an 18-count drill from last week’s more advanced Thai class. It comes from Ajarn Chai who is Dan Inosanto’s Muay Thai instructor and the man who first introduced Muay Thai boxing to the USA back in 1968. What’s happening in the combo: Stu throws a lead front kick which I deflect and tee off a bit, then he throws a low roundhouse kick which I check, then tee off a bit, then he throws a right hook which I stop, then tee off a bit. It’s meant to develop flow and understand the different ranges represented by the feeder’s strikes. If you’re thinking ‘I wouldn’t do that in a real fight’, I wouldn’t do press-ups in a real fight either, but we did some in class. 🙂🙏☯️
