3 Styles of Muay Thai Guards (Long Guard, Dutch, Etc.)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มิ.ย. 2024
- Today we cover 3 different style of Muay Thai guards, suited for different body types and style of fighter. When choosing your style, you ultimately want to consider the type of fighter you and your opponent are. Feel free to blend and use what works best for you -- that's what being a martial artist is all about!
1. Long Guard - Often utilized by taller fighters; hand traps, kicks, knees, and elbows.
2. Muay Khao - translates to "knee fighter" as someone who likes to close off the distance, clinch up, and work knees and elbow strikes.
3. Dutch Style - boxing heavy, tight guard, utilizing punch-to-kick combos.

Remember as a new student you're supposed to symbolically kiss your partners feet before each round.
You gotta keep these traditions going if you want to be accepted there.
@@digs1223 Didnt read "symbolically" at first lol
Dr. STEEL-FiST good luck bro
Good luck
Omar is very talkative guy ... Osu!
Highly enjoyed that antic
Osu u mean that muzic game Osu? Or Oss?
I'm little. I use long guard. Wtf shane. Must be why I get hit so much.
More cow tipping!
Cow tipping is a myth
😂
@@aqurio123 doesnt know the truth
Ay
Shane: "Training with me for couple of months now. How's it been?"
Omar: "Ama.."
Shane: "Veeeryy good, there's your testimony."
This is pretty funny to me after I've read History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi.
ikr, he was about to say "Amazingly dreadful."
der eques
Omar: AMATERASU!
0:33 Traditional Muay Thai
3:11 Muay Khao

@@HotPotatoOfficial that’s how you say it though
Muay Thai people are already funnier than the karate people.
I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took a Teep to the knee.

@@infamous9091 thanks
epic meme, friend!
nice
I like the dutch style guard. I love boxing combos and mixing it up with some kicks as well.
Couple of dudes have gotten their forearms shattered in k1 with dutch guard. Different strokes, I suppose.
He actually means that most of the K1 champions used Dutch style kickboxing 😂😂
U. NO REAL MUAY AT ALL.
U . A CLINCH HATER ???
abc def U. TYPE LIKE YOU BROKE YOUR KEYBOARD. U. ARE VERY LOUD.
@@WastePlace > yes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you dig deeper into Muay Thai there are very interesting postures/guards mostly utilized by fighters from Golden Era. "Drakula" guard for example. MT is beautiful!
I am not regular in MT but after i watch some good vids here i learned more about proper kicks and esp defense against kicks (and lots about ellbows) than in 40 years of Hapkido, Taekwon do and Modern Arnis before...so i say Dont mess with a Muay Thai Guy! And so i will train these moves in my own training of course...
Dracula guard is a variation of the long guard. X-Guard is another really strange but cool one
Dracula's one of the most OP positions
@@soullight8632 LEARN GRECO ROMAN STYLE HAND FIGHTING & YOU ADVANCE QUICK WITH LONG GUARD !!
This is a gem. Muay thai has some really interesting guards.
I literally searched this up yesterday are you reading my history shane?
No, but I do read the comments 😄👍
Thank you for explicating on the elbows-out guard. I would always get frustrated when someone would tell me "hey, you're leaving your body exposed."
Like, that's the point. I would also add that keeping your elbows flared out makes it much harder for your opponent to land hooks and kicks to the head, both of which are techniques that concern me a lot more than body shots.
It is the guard I use most, interspersed with a mid/long guard.
What I've found is I like using pointy elbow blocks on the foot the most. Elbows in that position allows you to do a 'hulla hoop' silly looking jelly-loose hip motion(if that makes sense?); a wiggle just like when you loosen out your hips. So I can ropa-dope my body away from kicks and such.
Being a wiggly target & there being unusual body target realestate; people throw their teaps and kicks deep into the spots your elbows usually cover. So you just return your elbows to that position with downwards & forwards force like you are elbowing their teap. Optimally I land elbow down&forwards on their toes or top bridge of the foot just as they drive it in.
It'll f@#k their foot up bad.
It can make me a pain to spar with, a much loved tool in the arsenal along with short inner-thigh knees in clinch & full-weight koala-resting/riding my opponent in clinch to drain them to shit.
From a very young age my dad has always tought me the long guard and definetly on the street because it looks more passive. The problem is, now I always use it with boxing too :)
Knee fighters aka knee and elbow spammers in EA UFC 3

What are those
i’ve loved these style series! please do mma styles!!
You definitely have a gift for teaching. Very clear and enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
so clear ! thanks for breaking it down, it helps a lot ! always so crystal clear instructive & useful !
Thanks for this vid so happy u take our comments and make them into vids good vid Shane.
The video I’ve been waiting for, thanks Shane for the awesome content
Nice showing of the classic stances of Muay Thai.
GREAT breakdown. Thanks guys!!
Different things for different situations is a good way to put it imo.
That dutch style guard is very similar to what Petr Yan uses. Love the way he implements it into his game
I was just gonna say this
Really great to hear some advice for tall guys. It's a tough topic to hear much about because a lot of styles were designed by shorter guys. Love to hear what techniques and style's are best for tall guys. Thanks.
Try to pickup up a thing or two from successful people close to your weight and height you will always find something that works great for you once you have it down
Whether it is a technique a stance how to run a specific drill etc there is a always something you can pick up
A WELL VERSED TRAINER MUST KNOW HOW TO DEVELOP ALL BODY CONFIGURATIONS !
I think long guard is effectir for tall guy with longreach marie rumet use that successful y
I’m 5’9 with about a 71” reach, I use the long guard against all body types and kinds of fighters, it can work if you know what you’re doing, I prefer to use the long guard with taller fighters in training so I can get better at using it when I face someone my own size
Good stuff as always keep it up my man
Best instructor on youtube!
I use the Dutch stance the most but the second stance you showed looks interesting too.
I literally had a street fight 5 mins ago and the guy ran away and then Shane uploads
Today is my day
Suuuuuuure
We get it, you vape.
Levi what's wrong with vape?
@@drali230 cancer. There no long term studies. So they can claim that it doesnt
But it does
@@drali230 it's just obnoxious
in Vale Tudo we use dutch fight style cuz we know we getting into a brawl its very useful if u swerve side to side and under alot
Thank you Shane
Useful video
Here because Buakaw has inspired me to get into Muay Thai
Indeed, Ramon Dekkers highlights is insane. Dat power.
Oossss means "very yes" in Okinawa. Basic translation is "fucking A". We said it when we arrived and greeted each other initially, and before a match or sparring.
Dude thank you, learning kickboxing. This has helped a lot. I'm 5'3 125lbs just good to know I'm going the right route
Hey. How are you doing these days ? How is your kickboxing?
02:10 long guard into wrestling type hand fighting - transitioning to any where anything close range ... the CLINCH entry !!
Thank you for this lesson.....Osss
The muay khao concept is new to me. I don’t strictly train Muay Thai by any means but I myself tend to like to bait people and then counter like hell. I do a similar flaired elbows thing
INVESTIGATE GRECO ROMAN CLENCH TRAINING !!
Great video! I like the way his feet look!
These styles are cool!
I never knew there were so many!
You should watch Badr Hari, seems like he's using every style of muay thai is his fights. He's a master in it (with 92 knockouts)
th-cam.com/video/hVnNrbtLuoM/w-d-xo.html
I am worried about body strikes so i think i will use dutch style, thanks for the content!
Awesome!!!! great video
Needed this!!
Great video thanks
Really good content. Thanx
Awesome video sir 😊
Top channel, top content!
Excellent techniques
I think I'm gonna give a look at that Dutch kickboxing. Always great to watch these videos!
Watch some og's like, Ramon Dekkers, Ernesto Hoost, Peter Aerts, and the other Dutch fighters like, Nieky Holzken, Gokhan Saki, Tyrone Spong, Albert Kraus, Andy Souwer, Badr Hari, Rico Verhoeven, and many more..
Dutch thai boxing is heavy.
@@brianniw9729 thanks man! I'll def do that. I appreciate that
The 1st and 3rd stance was used by Jan blahowicz against izzy . Great fundamentals!
I’m short but love long guards just looks badass
Little note for anyone trying out the long guard: most fighters I've seen tend to shoot out into long guard when they need it then bring their guard back. Almost like they're pushing something away rather than walking like a zombie. Although I'm sure some guys can make the latter work!
Diesolnoi LIVING Legend! Still alive and clinch kneeing!
Trained with him and Toddy in 2017! But I found out while training with Nieky Holzken I am more successful with the Ramon D. DUTCH style!
As you may know...DieselNoi = Little Diesel engine...MT boxer (Nak Muay) carries a stage name as a first name (it tells his/her character) & training gym’s name as a last name to honour his trainer/teacher....Honour & respect is very important to must uphold (if you are a just protector/fighter) in Martial Arts , Performing Arts & Learning process in traditional Thai (Siam) as a whole...try Muay Boran style & Krabi Krabong (sword & staff/stick fighting) similar to Filipino-Eskrima/Arnis ...but with Wai Kru ritual (respectvto teacher).....🙏
Salve do Brasil 🇧🇷👊🇹🇭
Great stuff Shane as always hope you are healthy and staying safe!
Somluck Kamsing
Somluck Kamsing (name used in the 1996 Summer Olympics) or Somrak Kamsing (Thai: สมรักษ์ คำสิงห์; RTGS: Somrak Khamsing; born January 16, 1973) is a Thai Muay Thai FIGHTER and Olympic gold medal-winning ** amateur boxer **. During the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok, Thailand, Kamsing lit the torch during the Games' opening ceremony. Kamsing was born in Khon Kaen. His older brother Somrot Kamsing also competed at the highest level as an amateur boxer.
Muay Thai career
At age 7, Somluck began training and fighting in Muay Thai. At 11, he moved to Bangkok to fight in the bigger stadiums. Prior to switching to amateur boxing he was viewed as one of the best fighters in the sport. He didn't compete competitively in Thailand after making the switch, but he did take up the occasional fight against foreign fighters.[2]
In 2012 he made a return to the major boxing stadiums, not as a serious fighter, but to fight other semi-retired legends in hopes of attracting people to the sport. He beat fellow legend Jomhod Kiatadisak on October 4, 2012 at Rajadamnern Stadium in a fight with the largest ever side bet in Muay Thai, 5.27 million baht on the line.[3]
They fought again in December 7, 2012 on the Lumpinee stadium birthday show. This time Jomhod Kiatadisak won by points.
They fought third match with a 6 million baht side bet on February 7, 2013 and Somluck won again by decision.[4][5]
However, he lost to American Nak Muay Chike Lindsay by unanimous decision in a modified Thai boxing Push Kick: World Stand Off in Pomona, California, on March 2, 2013.[6]
Somluck fought to a draw with another legend, Yodwanpadet Sor Junlasen under special rules, at Rajadamnern Stadium on 2 April 2015. Somluck was only allowed to punch while Yodwanpadet could fight full Muay Thai.[7]
THIS FIGHTER WAS A SIGHT TO SEE !!
Very good vid.
Many thanks
I'm already boxing heavy, and successfully taught myself to just specialize with low kicks.
Did you go to Wraysbury?
@@iesakhan3413 no..
Thanks Omar
Thanks a lot
Just learned that the style I use is Dutch thanks Shane
I recently start Muay Thai, coming from a Boxing background changing my stance and guard is taking me a little
Same man, I'm also more aggressive when I combo so it feels so weird keeping my weight on my back foot/off my front foot
Yay Shane is finally fighting back
I always wondered what they called tapping the ball of your foot on the ground. Muaythai's traditional style, in northern Shaolin kungfu we would call that "fighting from a hanging leg stance". So some techniques are universal techniques.
I love the Dutch, but after listening to this I need to study the traditional Muay Thai
I think Muay Thai has a serious issue with mobility out of fear of low kicks. Samart didn’t use the traditional rear foot heavy style and was able to move and evade much more easily. Committing to counting on getting your leg cut up is a bit strange to me. It feels very cultural. Like when Brazilians looked down on leg locks.
I really like the elbows wide , gonna try for sure
“Don’t feel like you’re in a box”
Omar: *Stays silent*
Shane I’d love to see u do a video on boxing v kickboxing who wud win and a breakdown love wath u do keep up good work . Your an inspiration to me and probably millions of other people . So thanks we are so grateful Shane .👏
In a kickboxing fight, a world class kickboxer beats a world class boxer every time. In a boxing match a world class boxer beats a world class kickboxer every time.
Ye but wath about in a street fight u wouldn’t be in Cline to through many kick well maybe low kick or head kicks of course but body kicks not ideal. But the clinch can be super effective against someone who doesn’t no how to defend it,and a boxer wouldn’t know.
Suppose your right but I’d like if he did a break down .
The answer is so obvious Ray Charles could see it. Kickboxing all day. Why limit the tools you have available. Do you watch the UFC or Pride?
The last style reminds me of Mike Zambidis too, to be sure ( as well as the late, great Ramon "The Diamond" Dekkers, [ among others])
Kickboxing next!!
Perfect
I KNOW you have a Much larger channel, But you Should do some videos with Icy Mike over at hard2hurt.
I think a couple/few Collaboration videos would make for some really cool Cross-promotion... And most importantly, some Awesome content!! 👍 You produce some Great, high quality, informative stuff, man! Keep it up 👊💥
Tanks !!!
Those gloves are massive
Do a video talking about how to fight people with more weight than you, say if they are running at you, standing grappling with you or just trying to trade punches with him.
Street, spar/supervised or what?
@@brannix7417 Both? Preferably streetfighting cause you wouldn't be in a match against someone significantly weighing more then you.
Don't go to master wong. He's trash
Follow the howl wait I just looked him up and he’s wing Chun, I thought Wing Chun was actually useful?
@@charles8769No, wing chun would be used as a main style in mma if it was useful
To clarify dieselnoi was very much a muay khao fighter great knees and he used the long guard not typical muay khao guard so go for what suits you best
I actually love to use a mix of long stance and Dutch stance
MMA GUARDS NEXT!
Hey man what is the perfect stance for dirty boxing like the muay khao stance with punches
Dutch style for me for now. I plan on doing MMA and boxing was my base for so many years
Shane whats the martial arts you train in
shane ive been a martial artist since i was ten, and i can say your videos are amazing . keep up the great work i respect you as a martial artist
Omar seems like a really cool guy...
it reminded me of Hunter x Hunter, OSU!!!
Same
5:30 if you're into throwing low kicks with combos you should checkout Liam Harrison probably one of the best foreign fighters in muay Thai
@Meditatin_Bry sure
@Meditatin_Bry Jonathan haggerty isn't a lowkick specialist, his known for his dangerous elbows and a good teeps. And the last time I checked he lost his belt to iron man and the fight after that.
I personally am not a Liam Harrison fan but I'll give credit where credit is due.
@Meditatin_Bry then why did you reply to my comment, read my first comment but Slowly
@Meditatin_Bry the fucking sentence before that, the timestamp is for lowkicks, only person that does dutch-style lowkicks who is also at the top is Liam Harrison, most of his fights get stopped because of a KO or the opponent can't stand on their legs
Do a video about taekwondo stances!
When are your gloves getting restocked?
Nice
MMA Guards Video please
Omar, your tattoo is gigantic
As someone who does Taekwondo, I’ve been implementing other styles for more effective power
So for the short and stocky fighter the dutch style is best? Im 5'7 and pretty stocky.
Mine is dutch style. You gotta have good agility. Not only inwards outwards, even the sides.
Hey I want to start a lesson but I am anxious about physical touches I mean I don’t want to injure myself or anyone. Will it be the right thing for me to join
i like handmovement, its super confusing if they move up and down with no real pattern, combined with slight shoulder rolls it gets super hard to guess punches and an opponent has to focus on the hands much more what gives you great opportunities for quick low kicks to the inside or sweeps
How to activate the ultrainstinct?
So what's the "traditional style" u mentioned at 5:21, whats the "teep"
I was doing mma but im doing muay thai now i can’t wait to be the most dangerous man
I use the karate stance like McGregor and Till use but if the guy im fighting throws alot kicks I stand in the traditional muay thai stance
Sure you do tiger.
@@myjizzureye I do why would I lie
@@chrisklitou7573 Yeah nah totally for sure.
MyJizz UrEye dude what? Lmao why would someone lie about there stance
Are hooks, jabs and other punches allowed on the middle section of the guy
