If you want to find out more about Muay Thai you can visit fightingtrainer.com. Shawn Yacoubian a professional fighter is going to demonstrate for me. Okay the first thing I'm going for is the lower half of the body, the base I'm looking to attack the base, I want to attack the inside of the upper knee just above the knee. Now striking with the middle of my lower shin okay the most important target for the legs outside I strike. The floating rib just under his right elbow this is his liver shot. Lock it with the shin okay the same spot with the knee. I just take him closer. Okay the straight punch aim straight for the shin. Okay the body punch right to the front of the rib. Okay to combine these it looks something like this. Alright and the front kick. We have the straight punches, the hooking punching going around the gloves, the straight punches go between, we have the upper cuts coming right up the middle and the body punches. Okay from mid range we have the knee strikes to the body, we have the knee strikes to the face, we have the elbow strikes to the face, horizontal, horizontal, vertical, upward, downward.
