Switch-Kick (diary entry)

25.11.2024 Hour seven of my teenage client's Muay Thai course focused on the switch kick. We used the following rounds to train this particular technique. 3-minute rounds

1. Boxing permitted but objective is to touch the opponent's lead foot with the inside of the rear foot. This encourages correct fast foot placement to "switch" the kick.

2. Same as above but rear foot needs to be followed up with a lead hand to touch the shoulder. This pairs the two switches movements without the kick.

3. Attacking side only permitted to use switch-kick and punching.

4. Lead kick versus rear kick sparring

5. Free-sparring

6. Switch-kick in isolation and combinations on the pads

7. Heavy bag burn-out focusing on switch-kicks
