Learn How To Perform An Advance Muay Thai Kickboxing Combination

Anybody who does kickboxing Columbia knows that muay thai kickboxing is an extremely fun martial art to do. Muay thai provides a great aerobic workout while building muscle and strength. It makes the practitioner feel strong and fast with every punch and kick they deliver.

Muay thai kickboxing is also very technical.  It is very important to make sure that your hands are positioned correctly when striking. When you strike with a punch make sure to rotate your arm so that your thumb is facing downward. When punching the shoulder should be slightly in a shrugged position and your chin should be tucked so that your arm protect you from possible counters. The roundhouse kicks should rely on hip rotation into the opponent. Roundhouse kicks that have proper hip rotation behind them can leave some people crippled from all that force. When shielding a leg kick the practitioner should raise the knee up to their elbow at a 45 degree angle to block the attack. Having the knee raised in front of them would just give the opponent the opportunity to kick their body and spin them around.

Kickboxing Columbia teaches their students some advanced techniques once they can understand and perform the basics proficiently. The following is an advanced muay thai combination and instructions on how to perform  it. The combination is not hard to learn but will take a lot of drilling before you are able to do it live. The following combo is called the 1-2, slip 2, and 3-2 counter.

1. Throw the Jab: Remember to keep your elbows in as you throw your punch and rotate your hand so that the thumb is pointing downward as your strike your opponent.

2. Throw the Cross: Now throw the cross, which is the power punch. Turn the hips toward the opponent and rotate the rear foot to ease the hip rotation.

3. Slip 1: Slip the opponents jab by tilting the head to outside of the fist. Maintain shoulder with footing and be sure to keep balance during the slip.

4. Slip 2: Slip the opponents cross by tilting the head to the outside of the fist. In doing so the setup for the counter is available.

5. Hook: On the outside of the opponent’s cross hand, the best counter is now the hook. When throwing the hook rotate on the balls of your feet, and be sure to elevate your elbow 90 degrees.

6. Cross: Now finish the combination by striking with a cross.

Kickboxing Columbia students drill this technique at home and in the classroom for accelerated mastery of the technique.
