In case you ever wondered why Luk Mai was reserved for only the most trustworthy students or for that matter why there are 15 techniques in this strategy, reading the previous set of posts must have given you some clarity. Here’s the next set of techniques in Luk Mai – Hiran Muan Paen Din, Naka Mud Badan, and Hanuman Tawai Waen.
The Hiran Muan Paen Din or the giant overturning the earth technique is basically borrowed from Mae Mai. This is primarily used against circular attacks. The fighter rotates inside the line of fighting to evade the opponent’s strike and counters with a reverse rotational elbow. This connects with the side of the opponent’s head and is thus capable of dealing much damage.
This is also referred to as the serpent sneaking down into the ocean kingdom technique. To execute, the fighter ducks the opponent’s roundhouse kick and at the same time throws a teep to imbalance him.
It’s easy to remember this move if you imagine it as Lord Hanuman presenting the ring technique. It involves countering an opponent’s clinch or punch by opening the arm and delivering a crushing double uppercut. Quick reflexes are paramount as the move requires one to time the uppercut just right.
Reading this blog has introduced you to nine Luk Mai techniques so far. Knowing the names is secondary to knowing the movements by heart. It should almost feel like your reflexes are responding instinctively in a fight as your brain chooses the appropriate counterattack.
Keep practising and you’ll get there. The next post continues with Luk Mai, covering the Yuan Thod Hae, Thaye Kham Sao, and Hong Peek Hak.
