Muay Thai Punches
Because both hands are held pretty far in front
of the face, in Muay Thai,
punches are not as strong as in sanda or
classic boxing.
Keep in mind that
muay thay emphasizes on rounhouse kicks, knee and elbow techniques.
When muay thay fighters try to apply a heavy punch, you can often see
them stike out
very far, which makes it much easier fo the opponent to defense.
The illustration above shows a punch with the backhand. ( heavy punch

Technical description: Muay Thai Punches
- extend one arm and lift the shoulder slightly so that a coming hook from your opponent couldn't hit your chin.
- Put more weight on the frontleg than on the backleg, but don't lean forward too far so that you lose balance or can't go back in case of a counter attack.
- Twist your hips to put more power into the punch.
- Keep your chin close to the chest.
