The ‘Morn Yan Lak’ can be visualised as pressing against a pillar. It involves countering a punch by thrusting your foot forward to push the opponent away. The ‘Pak Look Toi’ anticipates an opponent’s kick and counters with an elbow strike to the shin. The ‘Jarake Fad Hang’ deals a spinning heel kick to the opponent’s head or back.

The Mae Mai gives a fighter an upper hand over the opponent in any close combat position. There are 15 techniques in this strategy of which six have been covered in previous blog posts. The next three moves are Morn Yan Lak, Pak Look Toi, and Jarake Fad Hang.
This is also known as the Morn pressing against the pillar technique. It acts as an effective defence against an opponent’s punch by attacking him with a kick instead. Basically, it involves countering a punch by thrusting one’s foot forward to push the opponent away, thereby creating some distance.
This is often referred to as nailing steps on the tree trunk technique. By anticipating the opponent’s kick in time, one can effectively counter it through an elbow strike to his shin. Even a kick with much power can be stopped this way.
While there are many ways to counter a punch, this is probably one of the most effective and lethal ones. The Jarake Fad Hang or the salt crocodile tail whiplash technique involves dealing a spinning heel kick to the opponent’s head or back, pre-empting the punch.
By now you should have a good understanding of the first nine techniques of Mae Mai. You’ll read about the remaining six in the upcoming posts, starting with the Hak Nguang Aiyara, Naka Bid Hang, and Viroon Hok Grab.
