The ‘Hak Nguang Aiyara’ involves shifting sideways, locking the attacking leg, and dealing an elbow strike to the front of the opponent’s upper thigh. In the 'Naka Bid Hang’, grab the attacker's toes, twist his foot, and finish with a knee strike to the hamstrings. For the ‘Viroon Hok Grab’, thrust your heel to the frontal part of the attacker’s leg.

Having gone through the previous posts, you should have a pretty good understanding of how effective the Mae Mai strategy is in close combat. Even professional fighters are known to use several of these codified techniques or routines during the match.
The next three moves as part of Mae Mai are Hak Nguang Aiyara, Naka Bid Hang, and Viroon Hok Grab. All three are powerful techniques to counter an opponent’s kick. It’s up to the fighter to evaluate the incoming attack and decide on which is the most appropriate response.
The tenth technique in Mae Mai is called Hak Nguang Aiyara or breaking the tusks of the divine elephant. It involves countering the opponent’s kick by moving sideways and locking the attacking leg. This is followed through with an elbow strike that hammers the frontal part of the opponent’s upper thigh.
This is also referred to as twisting the serpent’s tail technique. In this move, one counters the opponent’s kick by grabbing his toes with both hands and twisting the foot. This keeps him off balance and temporarily unable to move, giving the fighter the opening to finish through with a knee strike aimed at the opponent’s hamstrings.
Also known as the Viroonhok somersault, this technique involves watching out for the opponent’s kick and countering it by thrusting one’s heel to the front part of the attacking leg. This stops the kick right in its tracks, pushing the attacker back into a defensive position.
Now having read about 12 out 15 major or master techniques, you can probably appreciate how advanced strategies like the Mae Mai can turn the tide in any fight. The upcoming post will complete your training in Mae Mai by introducing the Dub Chawala, Khun Yak Jub Ling, and Hak Kor Erawan.
