In the first technique, the striker catches the pad-holder's kick, countering with a cross jab to the face and a cross knee to the midsection. Next, he evades a hook punch using a 45-degree block, releasing a spinning back fist and angle kicks to both sides. The last one involves dodging a face kick, blocking a roundhouse kick, and countering with a cross jab and low kick.
Seasoned Muay Thai fighter and 3-time bronze winner in the world championships, Kru Hemanth Kumar has also perfected Self-Defence techniques targeting vulnerable pressure points. He has spent three decades teaching and training in multiple styles of Muay Thai.
After reading up on the previous combinations in Muay Thai Pad Work, you’ll now be introduced to Combination 7. There are three techniques in this particular routine and we’ll be covering one by one.
This involves the striker catching and locking an opponent’s roundhouse kick with walk-side footwork. This is followed through with a powerful cross jab to the face, and finished off with a cross knee to the midsection. Because the opponent’s leg is locked, there’s usually very little he can do to dodge the jab and cross knee.
This one starts with the opponent attacking with a hook punch. The striker anticipates the move and evades using a 45-degree block from the lead hand, followed by punch #10 (spinning back fist) to blur the opponent’s vision. This gives him time to counter and finish with angle kicks aimed at both sides of the attacker.
This particular technique is slightly more complex than the other two as it involves successfully evading two of the opponent’s kicks before going on to counter. The striker sways back to dodge a face kick and then blocks a roundhouse kick with a female 45 block from the rear leg. He then counters with a cross jab as well as a low kick to finish the move.
That completes 7 out of the 10 Pad Work combinations. If you’ve been following the blog till now, you’re nearing the end of your training in this full contact fighting sport. That means you’re pretty close to mastering Muay Thai. Keep reading and practising to elevate your skills.
