This series about fundamentals is great ! Thanks a lot.

[@Muaythaipros]

Glad you appreciate the fundamentals. Most people just want to see "5 combos that will KO your next opponent" type videos, but those don't actually help people learn.

[@corvoadrian6970]

The little details are the ones that give you a greater performance on your technic, amazing video a hug from Brazil 🙏

[@suspendedtwice4sayingrasis261]

I was expecting actual relevant details, not the equivalent of “if you get punched in the face, it hurts”…

Very nice pointers!

[@joseantoniosanz9045]

Great advice!

[@illumitabris]

I've been taught going on your toes is good for checking.
Of course, unlike the example they show, you're supposed to lean into it, not away from it.
Same concept as kicking or kneeing, you push your weight into them which I thought was supposed to be the whole concept behind muay thai, using your body weight.

[@dominusdone5023]

Doing it on your toes can be good sometimes. Maybe for bracing for impact but if you can block and counter sometimes toes isn’t bad

[@georgikrastev]

Nice and useful practical tips which I will make sure implement in the tragedy that is my Muay Thai game. I just need to tell you, the Thai coach, I might spell his name wrong, if so - excuse me, it is not intentional and I would be happy to be corrected, Ann, his English is really understandable. I do not think you need to repeat what he says, he really speaks clearly and well.

[@medk]

Thank you for sharing.
I need to ask you something.
Do you block with the shin bone, or the lateral side of the leg.
And woh do you do to not get hurt when you use this block.
Thank you

[@Muaythaipros]

Block with your bone, otherwise your leg muscle will get rekt from the side

[@medk]

@@Muaythaipros and how do you do to not have pain in your shins?

[@user-ll3xt3sm4x]

I love myai thai I training karate but using myai thai in sparing

[@danarief]

Thanks for the Video, bte the dude has tree trunk for legs .

[@PAINZDA]

Pretty interesting claim about keeping your foot flat on the ground, im training at chitalada finland under milja heino (3 time world muay thai female champion) and they teach to rise on your "toes" when blocking. Theres quite a bit of techniques on this channel that are executed the opposite of what im being taught.

[@Muaythaipros]

There is variations in technique that are taught among the Thais. Ann was one of the top fighters in Thailand in his prime and is known for his beautiful style. Choose whatever technique that works for you. In fact, why don't you show your trainer this video, and they will tell you it is perfect technique.

[@drhkleinert3245]

Of course. Sad that you have to say/show that. Massive impact needs massive stance.

[@bloodfurypk666]

just look the leg of the guy :) dont kick my leg plz

[@20FreeWill]
