Targeting the body and legs in Muay Thai

ree

My 1.5 hour client returned to a theme we explored almost a month ago: targeting only the body and legs. This unusual restriction created some interesting situations before and we decided to try it again. We came to these following conclusions:


  • Elbow strikes were virtually unused due to no head shots

  • Kicks dominated, but could not be relied upon due to how wearing they become especially after taking and defending leg kicks

  • The need to land body punches meant overall more engagement and fighting in the pocket
