While many people associate Muay Thai with elbows and knees, there is a whole range of techniques that are available to Muay Thai practitioners of the sport. While, not all techniques are created equally, it is important to understand the different types of offensive and defensive weapons that are available for a fighter.

The techniques range from basic punch combos to advanced moves that you rarely see executed in the ring. It is important to learn the basic Muay Thai techniques before you try and learn some of the advanced techniques that have more risk, but offer more reward.

Boxing Techniques Only:

BASIC PUNCHES: 

Jab – The most basic punch in Muay Thai is the jab. The jab is often the first offensive weapon you will learn. The Jab  can be used offensively or it can be used defensively to stop an incoming opponent. A strong jab should be a part of every fighters arsenal.

Cross – The cross is a weapon that is known has the power shot. This is a punch that will put fear into your opponent if you connect properly. This is the lights out shot that will hurt if you land it. Setting up the cross if something that will take time, but it is something everyone needs to perfect.

Hook – The hook is a technique that is extremely effective if you can connect on your opponents chin. Also known as the knockout punch, a good hook is something that will strike fear into the heart of your opponents. The most common hook that is thrown is the left hook by orthodox fighters. Typically this is known as the knockout punch because it is something you often don’t see it coming.

Uppercut – The uppercut is a technique that is effective in close range or at distance. A clean uppercut can easily render an opponent unconscious. The uppercut can either be used with the lead or the back hand and the power is generated from the fighter’s core.

Overhand Punch – The overhand is a punching technique that is used with the fighters back hand. The momentum generated from the overhand punch makes this one of the most powerful punch techniques that a fighter can throw. In order to land an overhand punch, you will need to set it up effectively.

ADVANCED PUNCHES:

Spinning Back Fist – The spinning back first is another punch technique that is not commonly used in Muay Thai. The spinning back fist generates its power from the momentum of the fighters spinning and generating that torque into the back of their fist.

Superman Punch – The superman punch is a popular technique because it is a tricky fake that can fool opponents. Landing the overhand will require a fighter to set it up properly to ensure that the opponent falls for the fake when the punch is thrown. If used effectively, this is one of the “coolest” moves you can use.
