you're so beautifully articulate when you explain the techniques ! Thank you Sylvie !
In Kali and Silat, which incorporate similar empty hand striking concepts as Muay Thai/Muay Boran, we call those blocks "destructions", as they are designed to destroy any incoming "weapon" (fist, etc.). They're simultaneously offensive/defensive and allow for transitioning between offense and defense to flow much more easily and smoothly.
Yes, limbs destruction... train a lot in Panantukan/Pangamut.
It’s all from Southeast Asia
Correct, Silat and Kali use a lot of elbows too, but not as "conventional" as muay thai/boran
Hi Sylvie! Love the channel!
The elbow blocks you described and even the rotation with the arm movements is a foundational keystone of Muay Thai Chaiya (a lineage of Muay Boran). I trained it north of Chaing Mae in Mae Taeng! Some call it the durian fruit style: trying to grab something that is spikey so your opponent hurts themselves from your pointy elbow and knee defence.
Thanks for all the hard work you do!
Mentioning how the moment is balancing has been very useful thank you!
Omg Sylvie I love you so much! I can relate so much to your thought process, specially regarding defense. Thanks for everything you've done.
tough is the new sexy :))))
I use this constantly in both my boxing and Muay Thai. Got it from Panantukan.
I need to write this shit down! Always amazing to learn new things from this channel. I vote Sylvie for GOAT!
Amazing logic! Makes way more sense now. I'll show this idea to my teacher and I'll train more elbows and knees in my techniques
Her mind runs a mile a minute, so cool seeing her go full matrix with all the knowledge she absorbs.
Hi, Sylvie, in Thai it is called That Malaa, which means to put on the flower...as the movement looks like you are putting a flower on your hair, and also the opponents punch being the flower gets defflected and goes to your hair, or impact with your elbow and damages the hand.
The wonder woman blocks you reffer too, would be called Bphud in thai, meaning deflect.
This are all practiced in thai boxing, combininng the elbow techniques like wieng sok ( circular elbow) That Malaa ( putting on the flower) and Choop sok ( kissing the elbow) you will have that elbows from the guard that you reffer too. NIce video! Love to watch your experiences in Thailand. Cheers!!
WOW, thanks for that!
@@konkyolife You are welcome. I think Sylvie already knows all this, she speaks awesome Thai!! Much better than me!
Very cool! You're amalgamating and creating.
thanks Sylvie! i learn elbow block from KRu OH in tiger camp myaiboran class!he is amazing!
she would be a good coach to learn under.. If I get the time, I will look her up and fly to thailand and train in her classes.
This is devastating to boxers with a heavy hand. If they don't break it they will start holding back on the punch.
used commonly in bareknuckle fighting
52 blocks….. also known as jailhouse rock
Hey Sylvie, love this video. Thanks. In Jiu-Jitsu one might do this block with both arms and charge into a person’s chest when they throw a haymaker. At my school it’s called a “rhino charge.” While we would then look for a body lock and take down, it could lend itself to a Thai clinch I suppose.
We call it, the Elvis Presley uppercut elbow/ block.
Elvis Presley = comb his hair.
😎
I was given that name while a stockbroker....a.k.a. Slick.
Not bad...but many facets are involved in purpose of video IMO>
Very good advice, It's easy enough and it's viable enough to see just watching this video. I'm one that won't forget, and if you ever have more tips, I'd love to hear them. Keep up the good work cookie.

She is such a legend man 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Awesome i wish I could train with you . Keep the hard work up and i know you have a huge heart !
Love the content you just gain a new subscriber.
My coach has trained me to block like this lol mostly for hooks since since I’m not advanced enough to enter a fight that allows elbows, but this is also great for body shots. You kinda roll with the punches to take some impact away
Sylvie- hope to see your fight clip with this perfecting blocking idea soon.
🔔 excellent Coach Sy. I'm gonna use this . Come to Ann Arbor Michigan start gym near University of Michigan
I got blocks similar too you and it's fine when I'm on the outside bc I'm long but I've been looking for guard to transition too when I'm on the inside.
Love it.👌
I've used this against my friend in sparring and his hook connected and basically had to take a break right away and said his wrist/forearm was still hurting two weeks later 👍
Rampage's block useful against aggressive puncher
Sylive, always up in someone's business. To the max!
McDarren Paschal hahahaha
Brian Ortega from UFC has a pretty similar guard. There is some holes open for body shots and straight shots, from the small gloves. But all in all its pretty solid.
Diaz likes to jab to make you lift your hand to block and then cracks you with body shots or maybe not. Everything is a chess game in a sense
elbow guard is very useful , but need to train sense
Turbo Fartbox not against Holloway bro his face was like a pound of mince
Dany Bil did this alot!
All 5 m training, my master didn't let me wear gloves but white cotton tapes. Tbh, I feel like as you say feel more when elbow or punch. He says that you can't find any gloves at street fight. You have to make your hands and feet tough and rough. So you won't whine if you have to punch someone. He doesn't teach to fight on the ring but to defend if something happens.
But I wear gloves now when I hit a bag, I asked him a permission, hahaha.
I shared my little experiences to you too.
nice!!!! when defense & offense combine together , opponent is hard to read.
i've been training werstling, bjj, mt ,
many skill & concept in traditional martial arts is excellent in any condition,
such as palm strikes is better than punch in empty-handed,
nearly have the same damage to ur opponent ¬ easy hurt by their skull
low,middle, kick beautiful, but when chin crash chin...chin crash elbow...
our leg will get broken or injure
in traditional mt /karate ,when catch opponent leg,
will immediate use elbow or any skill to destory their joint, not only td
(off coz wont really hit parnter in sparring )
and oblique kick is extermly useful in real fight , i've watched ufc game use it& trained too,
all kind of traditional martial arts is want to maim ur opponent,
in those condition, will narrow the gap between weight, height,
useful or useless just all about how u train , sparring to set up gd sence & reaction,
some of my classmate said traditional martial arts all trash b4,
but after they sparring with me, they understand real fight is different
those Kali and Silat, chinese kf sifu weak coz they dont have sparing,
even not used to opponent so they never know the timing,distance, how to set up,
,afraid punch/kick/knee/elbow....etc
sorry my eng is bad...
It is Amazing! I'm think it is boring and trash video about Muai Thai and i'm play it because very like Thai boxing)) But i meet real interesting lesson)) Thank you very much! I'm download it on hard))
You are very cool Budoka, you're movement very free and you has realy happy eyes. It motivated me practice Muai Thai way!
Sorry for my cut Eng)) Thanks!

I always block that way since I was beginner. I was taught that it is called the horn block. But I find that it leaves me pretty susceptible to being attacked on my body because a smarter fighter will pick up on it and feint attacks to get me to to block. Haha but it's just become my default blocking method so it's kinda hard to kick the habit
PRSer In Muay Thai the body is protected by the knees and shins, not by the arms. This guard leaves you no more open than any other. Just learn to defend the body elsewise.
@@8limbsUsthis block seems effective Ive never tried it but wouldn't they go for your eye you can't you cover your whole face?
Check out 52 blocks, it's in that style
Nice
this is great for silat
The Pointy Forward Elbow Block
4:41 what's the name of that thing? pls
Elbows and knees all day 🤘
Hey Sylvie, found this vid today, what are your thoughts about this guard at the moment? And another question, do you actually count in your head to 500 or do you eyeball it or just do it for a certain amount of time. Appreciate your answer🙏🏼
I use this guard a lot. I count in my head.
Spike Guard!
The look of desperation trying to figure out what to call it haha
500 reps ? now I know what kind of numbers I need to be achieving. A video on a days training for you maybe ?
Hey those are karate blocks from waaaay back lol
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cha cha movement is like joe walcott
I've been a fan of traditional martial arts defenses for a long time and think modern boxing defenses are overrated, once you integrate elbow blocks, leverage blocks, palm strikes and stiff arms into your game you can transition so fast into the clinch that the opponent doesn't even realize what happened. When every defensive maneuver is a strike or every offensive maneuver is a block it becomes that much harder for your opponent to read your defense.
agree! when defense & offense combine together , opponent is hard to read.

Step in when they hook and try to get that elbow in their shoulder or bicep.
Comedy.
Siddhartha Roy Chowdhury Buakaw did it in 1 of his fight. The guy come in with a punch, Buakaw elbow him straight to the chest (close to shoulder) and push him away
Ha old video. But i found a better way to explain the chatchai twist. Instead of pulling your heel up, push the toes in the ground lifting the knee and heel. It engages the chain better tban just lifting the heel
Sylvie's sticks, papers and stones...that's the ticket.
Sticks=parallel arm with elbow forward, disorienting open hand outward is paper, and stones are fists.
That's my epiphany towards a name for your defensive tactics shown in video....maybe I should work for Hallmark.
From the corner...heard "Sticks!" "Paper the face!"....Give coinage please.
Good Luck.
Your body is not too much vulnerable ?
Ah, eh, arg, iah...
We train this in Krav Maga. Also it is used to burst in to the chest, works against agressive foward moving opponents.
Bloody hell, it’s reeeeeaaaaalllyyyyy annoying that Silvie is mentioning foot work a lot but the dude filming doesn’t show her feet at all......what’s with that ?!? Dude, show the feet so we can see the aforementioned foot work.....phewww
