Muay Thai Fight Style And Becoming A Complete Fighter
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- A Muay Thai fight style can be broken down into something far more useful than the traditional Muay Thai styles such as Muay Bouk, Muay Matt, Muay Tae, Muay Khao, Muay Sok, Muay Plam, and Muay Fimue...
By understanding how the four fight modes and four fight ranges create a personal and highly adaptive overall fight style, you can evolve your fight IQ to beat whoever is in front of you.
your style is individual to you. It depends on your build, your athletic abilities, and of course your Muay Thai technical and tactical skills at the different fighting ranges.
Don’t limit yourself to a labelled fighting style!
The mix of possible fighting modes and ranges, using different Muay Thai techniques, makes for a far more sophisticated, personalised, and fluid style definition than simply calling yourself Muay Khao for example.
Styles do make fights, but it’s important to realise that no one style is the best.

my coach told me that i had lacked a style in my sparring and told me to try and develop it. This video has helped so much thank you!
That's fantastic feedback Martin, thank you.
Be prepared to experiment and find out what works for you. If you're open to a little trial and error, you'll find your own style - and be all the more effective for it. :)
I'm a pretty new , and pretty tall (195cm) muay thai practicioner, been having a bit of trouble finding out what works best. This helped a lot! Cheers!
MrDiamondWings you’re very welcome, I’m glad it helps.
Be prepared to experiment 👌🙏
I saw in a vid that taller Muay thai fighters tend to be very good clinch fighters so maybe that is something you can look into
@@MrNadav1995 [nods in Dieselnoi]
Excellent video. I am recovering from a two year injury and video just increased My fire.
Really pleased to hear I’ve increased your fire! But sorry to hear you’ve been suffering with injury for two years... what’s been the problem Drae? Anything I can help you with?
Wish you a Speedy Revovery. Stay Hungry
Wtf this video was so useful, why don’t you have like a ton of subscribers? thank you brother I’ve learned a lot
Sincerest thanks, and glad it helped. :)
this is an interesting look at styles! I enjoy tactical breakdowns like this and so few people do them
Thank you Robert. I'm pleased the approach has helped you out. :)
The ABSOLUTE BEST summary of the muay thai fighting styles out there! Thank you very much sir!
You're welcome! I'm glad you've found it useful. :)
If knees,elbows and kicks to the head of the grounded opponent is legal...mma fighters who specialize muay thai would dominate mma more
It would certainly change the game considerably!
Elbows are legal as long as they aren’t going straight down in a “12 to 6” motion. In ONE Championship in Singapore, as well as Pride back in the day allow head kicks and knees to a grounded opponent, nicknamed “Soccer Kicks”.
The main problem with Muay Thai fighters in MMA is the smaller gloves. With these gloves, traditional Muay Thai guards are a bit harder to use. In addition, the traditional narrow Muay Thai stance that makes it easier to check kicks is more susceptible to wrestling takedowns. The problems they have has nothing to do with what strikes are legal.
That said, Muay Thai fighters are still one hell of a force in MMA, with Israel Adesanya and Valentina Shevchenko both holding world titles and being basically untouched in their weight classes.
GiganX13 it’s cool to hear about difrent styles I was told to have a broader and more square base for that reason bc my gym is mauy thai but also does some mma we have been told that if they fall on the ground instead of a knee somthing like a lead Superman or liver shot works well as an alternative to stun them
Nah
@Andrew Onymous I agree but I can see the argument the other way. The small gloves make head movement and punches more important in mma and head movement and punches are less emphasized in Muay Thai compared to boxing. Further the footwork in boxing transfers well to MMA cause ppl are movers nowadays but there are no mover in MT. The threat of takedowns to caught kicks make the emphasis of kick in MT not ideal.
I agree with you personally, the head movement in boxing can def get you kicked or kneed in the head tho and obv the threat of 8 limbs is the same as the threat of 8 limbs in MMA and boxers also like to hide behind their big gloves as well sometimes but I can see the other argument.
Sorry to go on a bit I do this sometimes to see to get some discussion going on
Watching this RIGHT after sparring tonight and this is so helpful. I am so stiff and feel like I lean towards a lazy counter style. I will keep rewatching this 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Awesome! Glad it's helped. Keep practicing :)
Very solid advice. This is the most comprehensive Muay Thai channel. Subbed. What this comes down to is fighting with your physique as Gabriel Varga discusses on his channel.
Thank you, I really appreciate your support. And yes, work with what you've got and optimise it to become a handful! :)
Love Gabriel Varga's work too, by the way!
No one really fits completely in one category.
For short fighters, they usually tend to fight in close range, they could be a mixture of muay khao, Muay Mat, and Muay Sok
You get it! That's it. Don't attempt to label yourself as a particular style. Instead, understand the strengths and weaknesses of your preferences (in terms of fight modes and ranges), and those of your opponent... Then take the fight were you can win.
I discovered your work today and have already become a fan. Greetings from Brasil!
@@leozindumau8832 thank you, that means a lot 😁👊
spectac!
my favourite vid from you so far
Cheers! And lovin’ the use of “spectac” 🤩🙌
Good lord the is the best breakdown ever
Thank you! I really appreciate it! :)
You’re one of the few UA-cam channels that I already know I’ll like the vid before I watch. This breakdown was great and it’s nice for me to compare with how boxing and mma describes styles. I think this concept is better as it requires you to define the 2 poles of fighting (fight “personality” and range) at all times. Whereas boxing’s “out-fighter” and “pressure fighter” for example each only describe 1 of the 2 poles. You could actually do a whole vid on what styles should be used to counter the others. That’d be fascinating. Thanks for the great content.
Thank you. I’m glad you find this a more comprehensive model for interpreting fight behaviour. I’ve certainly found it’s useful, not only to categorise behaviour, but also train winning habits and shift tactics during a fight to win too. 😁🙏
I loved how this video broke down the different traditional muay thai styles in a whole new way! One question I had, you broke down which of the four styles was effective against a specific one, for example Tricky is good against Counter, but there wasn't anything for what was good against Elusive.
Elusive fighters develop this style because they're typically not too strong. They usually can't take as much punishment as aggressive or counter style fighters.
Chasing him in early rounds is a waste of energy. Starting with a mix of counter and elusive styles yourself... even feign weakness to encourage them to become more aggressive - then KO them.
I'd also use fakes (even double fakes) while moving in, only really meaning to catch them with the final shot in the combo - when they've already reacted/evaded your initial fakes.
Be patient, trust in your power compared to theirs, and realise they'll settle down (even tire) as the fight goes on. Then you can adopt a more direct aggressive style.
Amazing Breakdown. I've been looking for a breakdown of they thai styles like this. Subbed.
Cheers Craig! Thanks for your feedback. :)
อธิบายได้ชัดเจนมากๆ❤
Love this breakdown, definitely an interesting take on fighting styles
Thank you, glad it's helpful perspective/model. :)
I think what I'd like to see more of is which styles are better for different body types. I am a stocky guy, my build is almost identical to GSP's just with a shorter reach. I'd like to know what style I should focus on to maximize my natural advantages.
There are many qualities that make up an effective fight "style", including relative athletic ability (coordination, mobility, stability, agility, strength, power, speed, endurance), and technical and tactical Muay Thai skill. Stature influences fight style less than the combination of these relative (to weight class) qualities in my experience.
However, you can drill down to analyse what natural style you currently predominantly default to.
But before you consider this though, can I confirm what you mean by fight style, when you ask "I'd like to know what fight style I should focus on to maximize my natural advantages."?
Very Grateful For this ! Thanks for taking the time to make this!
Thank you. Glad it was helpful! :)
Great video man, well done!
Cheers, much appreciated. :)
Coach, you are the best! Really helpfull content, appreaciate for that.
Happy to help! :)
Great video. New to Muay Thai and I like these theoretical basics.
Thanks Tony, and enjoy your Muay Thai journey! :)
I just appreciate that you brought up Muangthai
And no elbows, no Muay Thai! ;)
Mine certainly needs work. I used to be a counter fighter when I was younger and lighter. Now I’m older and stocky but very strong. But my mind is still that of a counter fighter. I certainly need to work on a more aggressive approach.
Good shout! Those physical attributes certainly sway your predominant mode, and can change over time.
Such an awesome video. I really like these strategic approaches to muay thai, it's a shame they seem so rare!
Which mode would you say is a fighter who constantly cuts angles to create openings? They would seem to fit in all of the four categories to some extent. Could this potentially be a new mode?
Thank you, much appreciated!
And good question, I can see how this kind of fighter feels like a hybrid!
The angled footwork is a common denominator, but it's the application of the footwork that determines the mode...
Angles used to attack - Aggressive mode
Angles used to evade - Elusive mode
Angles used to counter - Counter mode
Angles used to frustrate and trick - Tricky mode
@@heatrick thanks Don, that makes a lot of sense!
I love this framework but I don't know if I'd give "tricky" its own mode. To me "tricky" is a tactic within "elusive" or "counter". I'd switch that out with "defensive": parries, footwork, long guard, shell, checks, etc. Sometimes we want to focus on defense to wear down our opponent and gain reads on their tendencies before we start countering. For the most part, I like to start rounds off as defensive/elusive, then move into counter. Once I've countered them enough to (hopefully) make them hesitant to instigate exchanges, or I'm not finding success with counters, I'll move into aggressive mode.
Great to hear your thoughts, and that you've considered how you prefer to fight employing tactics too!
Yes, the modes can feel like their blur together. For example I really see aggressive and elusive as the two main modes from which you can then act as an aggressive-counter, aggressive-tricky, elusive-counter, or elusive-tricky. And there's also a cross-over to a trick-counter too!!
Tricky as a mode is really there to indicate deception, mind games, and/or rule bending. Pretending, feinting, faking, emotional manipulation, etc. And a tricky mode/attitude can be strategically adopted to tactically defeat the other modes. That's why it's presented as a separate mode.
👊
This was helpful, thanks!
quality videos mate love the content
Cheers James! :)
Great episode 👍
Thank you 😁🙏
Hmm .. A very informative and helpful video! I believe that hybrid is actually the name of the game these days since you never know who knows what! Btw dear, what style would work best against Lethwei fighters?
Interesting that you've stretched the style viewpoint between Muay Thai to include Lethwei too.
Because Lethwei rules use bound fists rather than gloves, punches become a more formidable weapon. This means that the medium range becomes a more effective (and dangerous) range.
Close/Clinch range also changes due to the use of headbutts.
So a Muay Thai fighter should be careful not to be surprised by unfamiliar attacks like this at these ranges.
But all in all, it's still a case of fighting the individual in front of you. Weighing strengths and weaknesses of your opponent against yours at the various ranges, employing the different modes...
Adopting a combination of these that suits you better and your opponent least.
Heatrick Strength & Conditioning first of all dear sir i really thank you for your kind and timely reply!
Secondly, ive become an avid fan of Lethwei to be honest because of its brutality and what it serves me as a fighter but unfortunately i see that whenever theres a fight between Thai fighters and burmese Lethwei fighters the Thais lose and get hurt bad 8 times out of 10! Thats why i wanted to know what style would be best against Lethwei fighters.
You have beautifully answered it and summed it all up for me sir and ure right! Carry a large and diverse arsenal and ud be a hard target ! 🙏🏼❤️
@@imawarrior313 Thanks for contributing! And to add a few more thoughts...
This question picks up from a response of mine to Damien Trainor’s recent post considering the Dunning-Kruger effect in professional fighting systems…
For me, it starts with what’s permitted within the rule set, then under these constraints (or lack of constraints), the key is then what’s Practical and Effective.
Under these terms, aesthetics are secondary. Achieving the task of (ideally) stopping your opponent without the need for a judges decision primarily depends on a practical and effective strategy.
Concerning yourself with aesthetics is only viable when you’re discernibly outclassing your opponent. An evenly matched fight rarely provides enough “wiggle room” to stray from what’s practical and effective.
Muay Thai thrives amongst the full contact upright striking arts because it never forgets this - the scoring rewards this - and historically benefits from less (rule) constraints than other upright arts.
However, this is where Lethwei benefits from even fewer constraints!
Allowing headbutts, and using bound fists rather than gloves makes a big difference when comparing two equally athletic and skilled fighters.
During a fight, it’s crucial for a fighter to find “flow”, access an automatic (almost unconscious) state where technical patterns are executed almost by themselves.
This happens when you’re familiar with the environment and don’t need to cognitively engage to a great extent.
For example, suddenly dealing with a headbutt at a range that you don’t normally expect see something like that as a threat, will see a fighter surprised, and spiralling into thought processes - while the other fighter flows on with attacks automatically, because they’re used to it, it’s common place, expected.
Although borne out of practicality and effectiveness, both Muay Thai and Lethwei are without a doubt complex and technical. When I say Practical and Effective, I'm not intending to infer lack of complexity...
Rather it's whatever best gets the job done - and sometimes tactically that requires far more complexity than most realise.
A Muay Thai fighter competing in Lethwei will either need to spend enough time automating anticipation and delivery of the techniques not used in Muay Thai, or understand which ranges these unexpected techniques will flow from, and avoid spending too much time there.
Ranges and modes are principles, rather than methods. And as such, the matrix of fighting modes and ranges provide a practical model on which to dissect and train for any fight… even one between two different rule sets.
Heatrick Strength & Conditioning sir i have to say that you are an extremely knowledgeable and well educated person on this matter .. I really enjoyed this and reading all that wonderful insight you gave me as true teacher .. Wish one could come across the likes of you quite often so they have the privilege of being worked on and made a champion! .. I plan to start Lethwei soon as the stepping stone of my martial journey .. Lets see what happens to this 30 year old and his wild dreams to become a champion haha! Thanks a million 🙏🏼❤️
@@imawarrior313 Thank you, and no problem! All the very best on your journey... stay in touch. :)
I trained Muay boran and muaythai for instense months. Because of this video i will find a muaythai class again
Taking what you've learned from Muay Boran and applying it to your own Muay Thai style will be a great advantage. And it's great to hear a little Muay Thai love may be rekindled too. _/|\_
Great video brother 👊
Thank you, really appreciate it. :)
Dude I love this video, suscribed!
Cheers Jorge, much appreciated. :)
Great information thanks m8
I'm about to turn 50 fairly fit and heading to Thailand for 3months to train as an absolute newbie with zero fighting experience what advice would you give 🤙
You're welcome! Check this video out... ua-cam.com/video/IJL4r4Icxe0/v-deo.html and this guide... heatrick.com/2019/10/10/thailand-training-guide/
Hi don really great video please could you list the style and fighter you said typifies each one?
Glad you like it Sonny. :)
Yes of course, here you go mate:
Muay Bouk fighters are mainly aggressive fighters that use a variety of ranges and techniques, such as Buakaw.
Muay Mat fighters are mainly aggressive fighters that favour punching and low kicks, mostly working from medium and close ranges, such as Anuwat.
Muay Tae fighters are mainly aggressive fighters that like to kick from long to medium range, such as Yodsanklai.
Muay Khao fighters are mainly aggressive fighters that like to knee from medium to clinch range, such as Petchboonchu.
Muay Sok fighters are mainly aggressive fighters that like to elbow from close to clinch range, like Muangthai.
Muay Plam fighters are mainly aggressive clinch range fighters, like Yodwicha.
Muay Fimeu fighters are technical fighters that use predominantly elusive, counter and tricky modes at long to medium range. Such as Nong-O
Great stuff! Keep it up!
Thank you, much appreciated. :)
Excellent video that completely changed my perspective! This is needed in more gyms!
My champion coach and I are going to Thailand in a few months
He wants to train at a Muay Kao specialist gym and I was worried because my knees are my weakest link (I love ranged kicks)
Looking at it from your new perspective and I'm very excited to strengthen my weakest aspects of Muay Thai especially for my first Thailand trip
I'll reward myself by training my preferred style of kicks in the next trip🤣
Building a healthy level of close/clinch range knee fighting ability will serve you well. If you're taking people apart at range, you can bet they'll try to shut you down and get close!
Enjoy Thailand! :)
Sagat was one the best Muay Bouk/Mat
Good shout! 👌
This is gold, just put this into practice and my training is evolving 🙏👊
That’s great! Putting ideas into practice is the crucial step. Nice work. And have fun evolving!
Great video as always! I will definitely try out the changing fight modes and ranges during sparring and eventually during fighting :)
Thanks Lenore. Do give it a go - with a bit of practice it becomes instinctive, and is a really effective way to make you opponent's life harder! ;)
What a great video! Why doesn’t this have 100k views at least!
Haha! I get this a lot! Thanks Jack C 🙏
I didn't know any of the types! Thanks!
Glad it helped! :)
It shares a different perspective, that can be very practically applied.
@@heatrick for sure man, I always take a few rounds to figure out my opponent, some of the techniques go hand in hand with the styles. I can better prepare myself now! Great way to teach it! Great video!
Thanks for this video. I wasn't even aware of the tactical and strategic philosophy prior to this.
Too technique focused lol.
This is a very insightful video. Looking at your other channel content, it was an easy decision to subscribe. 👍
Glad it's helped you out Dave. Have fun plugging in your technique into a more strategic gameplan/awareness. :)
thanks. this made me see a different light to training. 🤔☺
That's great! I love sharing "aha" moments! :)
Hi, I know others have asked this before but I wanna know what style to focus on would you advise for man 5’11, 250 pounds/115kgs, naturally stocky but now with fat and muscles both, I got power in my hands (I believe) and also my low kick is strong, but compared to others I have a speed disadvantage, any tips or advised? I am also new to muai thai, ive boxed for a few months before.
I must say you deserve more subscriber anyway im new to your channel and i already like it keep posting vids
Thanks Ferdinand. :)
I'll keep them coming... there's so much more I'd like to share, just got to free up the time to put them together.
Hi Don! I love this framework for breaking down fighting styles in an easy and understandable way! Do you have any resources to study the tactics and strategies that work best against different fighting modes and styles? Also, how could it be modified in an MMA context? Thanks!
Glad you've found the breakdown useful. :)
I originally came across this framework in the book, Fighting Strategies of Muay Thai - Mark Van Schuyver & Pedro Villalobos. That would be a great place to dig deeper.
With regards to MMA, the four "fight modes" as I call them (aggressive, counter, elusive, tricky) are the same...
However, the ranges need updating. I'd suggest to include 3 more ranges: Shooting, Ground & Pound, and Ground?
@@heatrick Thank you for responding! Unfortunately, I can't find the book on Amazon or anywhere else, do you have any idea where I could get it?

Fatou Kourouma I’m afraid not. The only other resource I can point you to is an article I wrote here: heatrick.com/2019/05/07/how-jonathan-haggerty-did-that-to-sam-a/
I’m honestly quite stuck I love the femur style and the Matt style but I’m more proficient with the boxing and low kick Muay Matt style also my coaches orient our padwork with mostly punching with a little bit of elbows and knees mixed in very heavy and powerful strikes
U may start out a Muay Khao for example u can certainly evolve into a muay tae or what have u
I agree. Fighters will evolve over time, and become more complete... becoming able to adopt a strategy that is better able to beat the fighter in front of them.
This is really great! Will apply this. Thx
Nik Male you’re welcome! Hope it helps you as much as it has others I’ve worked with. 👍
Good review
Thanks, glad it helped. 🙂👊
Popped up in my feed, and I'm very thankful for that.

Haha! Love it. 🙏
Real well made deep analysis on the different styles of Muay Thai, have never found this detailed information before. Knew only about "the big three" (Mat, Khao & Femeu) apparently. ^^
Muay Sok/Plam 4 life from now on! (:
i used the aggressive, counter and tricky way
i am also focus on long, close and clinch range
Nice mix there. And you love the extreme ends of the fighting ranges! 😁🙏
@@heatrick and i wanna be honest. I also have a taekwondo background. That is why long range was my thing. I train at the gym to train muay thai then while i was at the bag. I also combine my taekwondo kicks.
Axe kick, hook kick, tornado, side kick, turning side kick, then i did like a cartwheel like saenchai. But it is too risky i might broke an arm if i did a cartwheel
That makes sense… A TKD background makes for a strong sense of the long range game. 👌👍
Thanks for the wonderful insight
You're very welcome - glad you found it insightful. :)
Love your energy. Subscribed :)
Thank you, and pleased to have you subbed with me. 😁🙏
Speaking of complete fighters... Namsaknoi immediately comes to mind.
Adapting to become a problem for whoever he fights! 😁👌
tnx . very good explanation.
You're welcome Freya, and thank you. :)
I typically stick and prefer long to mid range kicks and punches. I tend to have issues with very aggressive opponents but i myself am very aggressive. I have trouble switching from aggressive to looking for counters and being elusive
I hear you! Adopting a different mode, like switching from aggressive to elusive, takes some practice. It comes from a both the timing of your footwork and management of range. I'll need to do another video on this when I get a chance. ;)
Do You know long-tall and agressive fighters names? Muay matt muay tae fighters with long range
Just looking for quick advice, I absolutely love playing counter but of course there are going to be strikes that’ll be too hard to catch. Whats a good way to dictate when should I counter instead of play defense and guess?
Can you tell me more about what you mean by "play defense and guess"?
@@heatrick Sorry for the extremely late response, but yeah I meant play defense and guess when to counter a kick or a jab, ect
Amazing episode
Cheers! :D
This is my fravirout muay thai talking video ima subscribe
Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for subscribing. 😁👍
I feel like I'm an aggressive and counter style fighter, and I use close to medium range. What is this called?
Don't worry about calling it a name... It's your style! Understanding the particular modes and ranges you favour helps you magnify your effectiveness against anyone that doesn't.
You can start taking your opponent where you fight best and they struggle, or to change strategy if you find your normal mode and/or range isn't successful and you need to play the game elsewhere. 😉🙏
Epic video 🙏🏻
Thank you Sam. :)
I'll be an elusive muay bouk fighter that's good at countering.
Nice! And what style fighters do you find the most challenging, and why?
I don't know exactly I don't have much experience with the different styles probably something that does alot of feints and counters. I tend to get impatient and head straight into the fight without waiting for an opening.
@@aydenbelcourt6035 Yes, you sound like you favour the Agressive mode, with a switch to Counter mode. So your reflection on which opponents you find challenging makes sense. :)
A good counter fighter will make it harder for you to make your aggressive mode work...
And a good tricky fighter (feints etc) make it harder for your own counter mode to be effective.
It would be worth adding some other fight mode habits to your arsenal too - just enough to feel proficient. So you have a different answer in the mix depending on your opponent...
So if you find you're up against an accomplished counter fighter, you can set them up with feints (tricky) style, and then plough into them aggressively once you've made them commit prematurely.
And the solution to an awkward tricky fighter who keeps feinting etc. is to ignore them, and aggressively march them down with pressure.
Try that on for size, and see how that works after a bit of practice. :)
Thanks for the tips this should help me out nicely.
Great video
thejarg0n thank you 🙏
Dang the best video on youtube on Muaythai. I thought Muaythai is only hitting. But those elite fighters are scientist in the art of muaythai. Western fighters use their balls but thai elite fighters used their head and intelligence
Wow! Thank you, I'll take that! :)
Yes, using balls alone only gets you so far... and you need something else for when that's not enough.
When you come across someone with bigger balls, you need to have the bigger brain. :D
What would Samart Pakrayoon have been?
Samart Pakrayoon was predominantly a tricky mode fighter, Muay Fimeu style.
im 6’4 and struggling, most videos are made for shorter fighters
Hey man i got a question i got really good punches my punches are fast and i got really nice combos and i like to end them with leg kicks so im a muay matt fighter but i also really like close dirty boxing clinching and using elbows my elbows are devastating and i got some pretty good knees do what is my style i am a mix of muay khao and muay matt so what is my style and what guard and stance do i use
Using the classical descriptions, it seems you are a Muay Matt/Muay Khao/MuayPlam hybrid! See how that’s not very useful?
Don’t label yourself, be yourself.
I’d rather describe you as a predominately aggressive, medium, close, and clinch range fighter. You simply select the the best tools (and are skilled in these tools) for the job fighting at these ranges.
Your stance and guard should should be dynamic, depending on which range you are fighting at, your orientation relative to your opponent, and the reactions/attacks your opponent is making...
Just like you select the best attacking technique depending on these variables too.
Experiment and find what works best for you against different opponents. 😉🙏
Yeah im trying to go for the dutch guard at medium range and start punching them then get close and stick my elbows out in the muay khao stance that seems to be best and sometimes mid fight ill switch to muay khao to bait them to teep wich i check easily and it hurts bad then switch back to muay matt and utilise leg kicks on it wich forces them to switch stance then i go back to muay khao get close and them not being so good with the southpaw stance and vice versa will make the walking down pressure of muay khao much easier
Thank you for replying

Thank you !
You’re welcome! 😁
for muay mat did you say Sarawut sor jor ?
I mentioned Anuwat Kaewsamrit :)
What would you call tricky, long, medium range?
I'd call it just that... Tricky mode, favouring long and medium range.
Don't worry about 'naming' your style. Just understand what attitude or mode (such as Tricky) you are predominantly using, and at what range you prefer to deploy it.
Keep it simple. And the more you can take the fight to this place (assuming it's disruptive to your opponent's style), the better you'll fare. ;)
What was the name of the muay sok fighter again? 🙇🏽
It was Muangthai. 😁
Catch and sweep
Counter fighter style! :)
So i am a tricky long range fighter
Nice! Do you have a natural, 'secondary style' that you fall into when you find yourself unable to maintain long range?
My coach ripped my ass because I was trying to fight like other people and not finding my own style I’ll still say tho I love my lead teep
It's great to "try on other's style for size", but ultimately you must distil everything down into your own style. :)
Lol ! Just come across this clip. For Thais, there are only three styles of fighters. Technical, muay cherng. Puncher, muay mud. Clincher, muay plum ( khao). Techinical fighters are generally vulnerable to clincher, and clinchers are vulnerable to puncher. Punchers are vulnerable to technical fighter.
Yes, I prefer a more inclusive framework that allows greater flexibility and personalisation. 😁🙏
From Thailand Oh! you is Albert Einstein.
Haha! My best ever comment!
Einstein's genius aside, I'm jealous of his mad hair. :D
Combo between tricky and aggressive i am...
Great combo!
Who's the fighter he referes.to at 3:23?
Yodsanklai Fairtex. 👍😁
@@heatrick Looks like a dark souls boss name. Love It!
imagine winning a fight being long ranged and elusive and then you switch to close range and aggressive then get knocked out 😂😂😂
Yes, choose your ranges and fight modes wisely!
