Man distance management is such a critical part of Muay Thai - I almost feel like I had to unlearn all the time I'd spent hitting a stationary heavy bag because it gave me bad habits (disconnecting footwork from striking) when the two need to be in perfect unison for your striking to be effective. The 'thai hop' is killer-effective and not really mentioned much, a great base to throw all kinds of things off with the serious forward momentum.
The fake with the hands and foot works is also good to get in closer to ones opponents. Then one can utilize the hooks to the body or side cheeks, push away, then low leg kick or roundhouse to the body or face. The fake, move on and the hook will distract and set the pace for landing ones kicks. Speed have to play a vital row in this movement
i have a question to ask Sean i been practicing muay thai for almost 5 years. studying over 100 combination till this day my mind is allway thinking of combinations day and night sometimes it can be overwhelming and obsessive to have a mind that only think about combos constantly on a daily basic do you know any way i could calm my mind from over thinking these combos
hello! i m a beginner in ITF taekwondo and i am very short. i m struggling about how to get closer to the opponent. i am so afriad that if i step toward too fast and the opponent use snapkick , that will land a big damage on me. using snapkick to kick first while guarding my head and ready to land punches seems a good way. thank you for your advice:) i will try this and see how it works
