Muay Thai combos

[alphacat]

Hey,

I'm a Muay Thai beginner and would like to practice shadow boxing (when i'm not at the gym).

Could you post up the combos you like using when sparring?

Thank you.

I'm not a Mauy Thai practitioner myself but I do have some favoured practise combo's.


Left Straight Fake, Left Straight, Right Hook, step in Left horizontal Elbow, Raising Right knee Strike, Falling Right Hook, Reversed Right Elbow.


Left Straight, Right Straight, Left Hook, Left Reversed Elbow, Right uppercut hook.


Low Right straight -- Right rotating low kick <-- performed at the same time, not in chain, with the right kick hiding under the right straight.


Low Right Straight, Reveresed right full arm with step in, left rotating knee strike, Left Straight at the face, Snap front kick to the stomach.

And this is if you hold a regular stance of right leg forward, right? I stand goofy(actual skateboarding term!).

Some of my favs:

- Left Jab, right cross, right elbow
- Left Jab, Left jab, right cross, right round knee strike (this knee strike is aimed at your opponents side/ribs)
- Right cross, left hook, right cross, left round knee strike
- Left jab, right cross, switch feet, left round kick
- Left jab, right cross, left hook (or upper), right round kick (to leg, mid section, or head...I'll switch it up)

Left leg foreward actualy, which is standard for Shukokai karate, it means your dominant hand in 80% of cases (right hand) is further back.

So straight replaces the jab?

[Torre]

-jab, cross, left hook, spinning hook/back kick

-jab, cross, right leg low kick

These are my favorites.

edit: assuming you use a regular stance, if you are a southpaw, switch left with right and vice versa.

A left straight is a Mikanzuki or Jab yes, However in shukokai we have a straight with either hand, infact a majority of our punches are designed to travel straight, so our Mawashi (rounded/round house punches) or hooks are sepperate.

This is all well and good but shadow boxing should be about foot work and mobility. Keep your combos simple and focus on your foot work!!!!!

[alphacat]

Thank you very much guys!
Great combos!

Thanks for emphasizing the footwork's importance.
But you know, you can’t just step over and over without doing anything

What's the difference between a cross and a straight?

The strait is the back hand shoots strait out and the cross is shooting across the face with your back hand... Someone like tri or someone else can describe it better.
