muay boran -- new section needed !!!!! :)

[Transk53]

ever heard of the "knife elbow" --- basically you throw an elbow as per normal but instead of bringing your arm across your body you take it up in a diagonal across their face with a returning single axe elbow to the head for good measure

oughta give em summat to think about --- again these moves are outlawed in MT competition.........

Yeah now I get what you mean

there's loads of little moves like that one which are allowed in MB --- you can add more to that combination if things aren't going to plan like using the axe / knee combination i mentioned and then tripping them up backwards and side kicking them in their windpipe

Yeah, that is an awesome combo. From what I have seen from Youtube, Tony Jaa and what not. Think a trample would also suffice, rather than the side

the reason i said sidekick is that when you trip them up your body is already positioned to the side of them so it's easy to just sidekick the windpipe than trample them --- suppose either would work just depends on your body positioning after you've tripped them up

glad to see that you're getting the jist of what muay boran is all about it's almost the polar opposite of what competition muay thai is about. there's just so much to experiement with and it's upto your coach/training partner to work out what it is that you're going to do next i know that scotty knows that there are some combinations that i like so if he says mid kick then he's gunna get a right mid kick followed by a low left kick with a reverse elbow and backfist on the end of that

it's upto you how you do your combinations but you need to learn the forms that make up mae mai and luk mai to get a full understanding of just what muay boran is about

today scotty told me that there is a muay thai/boran seminar coming up in about 3 weeks

so i've doubled my practice workload and am using the seminar as a reason to get as good as i was plus i want to be in sort of shape so that i can sponge any new ideas pretty quickly
