The third set of elbows includes a spinning rotation elbow which lands on the frontal portion of the opponent’s head. There’s also a spinning reverse elbow which moves in a reverse thrusting motion. The 45-degree uppercut elbow has a thrusting motion in an inside diagonal angle, attacking the left or right side of the opponent’s face along the jawline.

When it comes to Muay Thai, there’s never a question of too many Elbows. Each of the 12 variations of elbows plays a distinct role during fights, depending on relative position, timing and other parameters. If you’ve gone through the previous posts, you should have a fair idea about six elbows. In this post, Kru Hemanth shares the next set of elbow moves that he’s perfected over the years.
For this strike, the elbow is dropped in a rotational manner on the frontal portion of the opponent’s head. It’s swift and has the potential to deal much damage. When practising, it’s always a good idea to repeat the move several times and fine tune the rotational motion.
Getting the direction of motion right is the key to landing this elbow correctly. The elbow moves in a reverse thrusting motion advancing towards the opponent’s chin or face. Compared to the uppercut elbow, this is like a reverse upward variant of the uppercut.
This is yet another variation of the uppercut. The movement is a thrusting motion in an inside diagonal angle, attacking the left or right side of the opponent’s face along the jawline. It’s just as deadly as the uppercut elbow, if not deadlier.
The kind of power these Muay Thai elbows pack becomes much more evident with time as one progresses along the journey to master the full contact fighting sport. The upcoming post will show you how to execute a downward 45-degree elbow, side and reverse side elbow, and diagonal rotational 45-degree elbow.
