‘Yuan Thod Hae’ involves side-stepping the opponent’s thrust kick, and countering with a kick to the inner thigh of his attacking leg. ‘Thaye Kham Sao’ counters a kick by ducking low and kicking the leg the attacker is currently balancing on. ‘Hong Peek Hak’ blocks the opponent’s punch and counters with an elbow strike to his upper arm.

The Luk Mai war combat strategy is an effective counter for any attack, pre-empting or blocking the enemy’s strike and attacking with a powerful blow of your own. Having read about its first nine techniques, here are the next set of moves – Yuan Thod Hae, Thaye Kham Sao, and Hong Peek Hak.
Yuan Thod Hae is also known as the Vietnamese fishing net throwing technique. It involves side-stepping the opponent’s thrust kick, followed by a counterattack with a kick to the inner thigh or knee of his attacking leg. The quicker you are, the more likely he is to be caught off guard, giving you the upper hand in the fight.
Often referred to as the Thaye supporting the pillar, this technique is also used to counter an opponent’s kick or teep. It is executed by ducking low and kicking the leg he’s currently balancing on. This can often destabilise your attacker, buying you sufficient time to plan your next move.
Hong Peek Hak is easier understood and remembered as the swan with broken wing technique. It involves blocking the opponent’s punch and countering with an elbow strike to his upper arm. This can cause quite a bit of damage and ensures your opponent is not in a position to retaliate with an immediate punch.
