Combatfitness.com Muay Thai Trainer Nicholas Carter (Nico) demonstrates Upper Cut Elbow.
Of all Muay Thai elbows this is the most simple. Just as if you were combing the hair slide hand back over top of the head allowing the elbow to strike upward. Repeat left / right side. In addition to throwing this technique you can also step towards the opponent which can help increase effectiveness/damage. This technique is great for offense and can even be used as defense to block an attack such as hook punch or by allowing an attacker/opponent to run into the elbow if advancing on you.
Remember, chin down and hands in high guard.

This physical and mental discipline which includes combat on shins is known as "the art of eight limbs" because it is characterized by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees, shins, being associated with a good physical preparation that makes a full-contact fighter very efficient. Muay Thai became widespread internationally in the twentieth century, when practitioners defeated notable practitioners of other martial arts.
