The ‘Inao Taeng Grit’ blocks an opponent’s straight punch and immediately counters with a strike to his midsection using the other elbow. In the ‘Yo Kao Pra – Sumehn’, duck the opponent’s straight jab, and deliver a cross jab to his chin. The ‘Ta Then Kham Fak’ counters a straight jab by deflecting the punch upwards and away from your body.
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.
The master techniques of Mae Mai require time and effort to practise and sharpen. Passed down by ancient warriors, these can help a fighter turn around even the most hopeless battles. The next three moves in Mae Mai are Inao Taeng Grit, Yo Kao Pra – Sumehn, and Ta Then Kham Fak.
This is also referred to as the Inao stabbing with grit technique. It makes brilliant use of the elbows to defend and attack at the same time. Block an opponent’s straight punch with the elbow and immediately counter with a strike to his midsection using the other elbow. There should be practically zero delay between the two movements for maximum impact.
Often known as the lifting Mt. Sumehn technique, this technique alludes to Mt. Sumehn or Mt. Meru which is the sacred five-peaked mountain considered the centre of all physical, metaphysical and spiritual universes. To execute the move, first duck the opponent’s straight jab, allowing it to pass harmlessly over your head. Then deliver a straight cross jab to his chin. This could even knock him out if timed well and with the right force.
Also known as the elder holding up pot technique, it involves countering a straight jab by skilfully deflecting the punch upwards and away from your body.
That covers the first six techniques of Mae Mai. In the upcoming posts, you’ll read about the remaining nine, starting with the Morn Yan Lak, Pak Look Toi and Jarake Fad Hang in the next post.
