How To Do Thai Boxing : How To Throw An Elbow in Thai Boxing

[revelation1234]

he bought those shorts at target.

[skateboardingstuff]

reminder: you also need your elbows more tucked in to your face, leaving your elbows wide is making you vulnerable as well, I'm a muay thai fighter and all this stuff isn't correct, it's ok and close, but not correct

[UberTroll13]

or just get a gun

[jorgebeltran]

@UberTroll13 you obviously know nothing about thai boxing do you?

[NoName41951]

actually you aim for the temple

[thedragon263]

It's not about muscle but ones technique and if they can handle a fight and hit nice good shots. Anyone can knock a guy out with a good uppercut to the jaw. Just slosh the brain a little and they're out cold.

[tathtath]

a lot of muscle doesnt mean someone is a good fighter!

It's all about head :)

[scottypimpinallday3]

Muay Thai and boxing, great sports.

[FUSSYMUAYTHAI]

THIS IS EXCELLENT ,

HOWEVER YOU ARE GIVING ALL THE SECRETS AWAY FOR FREE!

NOW EVERY ONE CAN BECOME A FEEMUR .

[barryhanlon94]

god i love thai boxing

[poslednij]

its bulshit

[animal100000]

very good technique...

[jcole60brit]

@ViolinSnowKid Yeah, In an actual fight, I woudn't think these "internet tough guys" would last long. I'm not saying I could kick anyone's ass in a fair fight, but I could beat the shit out of you. It's the simple measure of dirty tactics and KABAR fighting knives.

[italianchriswilko100]

its good to see your doing the proper, more traditional stance, many western practicioners tend to force students into a stance similar to that of a boxer.. which is a bit sad really..

[gangster2triggaz]

nice

[gangster2triggaz]

so how does someone 5,5 elbow some whos 7,2 in the face if there arms dont even reach there chin?

[youngstunna79]

How many 7'2 guys have u even met, probably none or if u are the water boy to some NBA team. Anyway, u can kick the 7'2 guy in the balls. Also, Mike Tyson was only 5'10.

[gangster2triggaz]

theres a 7,2 guy on my basketball team

[qubiq3]

lol ... just chose another technique in this case.

[twrep08]

@gangster2triggaz Jump.

[JohnSergioVasquez]

@gangster2triggaz

they wont even probably be fighting each other cause there both different weight clases. but u can try kicks or punches or test his ground game.

[DyingOfBoredom]

@gangster2triggaz well then i guess i'll answer your question with another question. how many people do you know that are 7'2?

[gangster2triggaz]

1 lol

[AaronGreen]

good video!

[123EnterpriZe123]

just because some one is skinny doesn't mean that you could beat them in a fight.

This guy is a trainned Martial Artist and i'm pritty sure he could handle himself in a fight

I mean just look at Bob Sapp the pathetic fat bastard the guy is huge and ripped to the max but he gets his ass handed to him every time whether it be a boxing, mma or kickboxing fight.

[cellmeplz]

Bruce Lee, smalling guy, but could kill anyone.

[PoorBoy1979]

this guy might be small but his body might be tough as heck. especially the legs. muay thai and kickboxing guys have rock hard shins.

[CarlitoJohnson]

and kyokushin karate =D

[douglas12219]

ok h0rangi, since you obvoiusley know more than this guy does about fighting and working out, why dont you make an instructional video on this exact same move, and we'll compare the two videos side by side.

[nonamelef]

Very nice, and helpful. Thank you!

[GreedyCorpse]

one of the best vids i have seen to throwing elbows.......i can remember a golf lessen that you schould think a pole is driven throw your body........the line infront of the nose is great.......and hahahahah id like to see them say chicken legs afte eating a shin ^^....

[h0rangi]

look at those chicken legs

[Tokyotomo247]

I'll bet he could give you a tracheostomy with 'those chicken legs'

[h0rangi]

how do you mean? by having his chicken legs used in the construction of the tracheostomy or by kicking me in the throat causing me to need a tracheostomy? you kidding? have you seen the guy trying to stretch? would never happen :)

[Tokyotomo247]

wow you read to far into that one. yes... yes i was lolz

[ozturk100]

ok not to bet

[aguzman11189]

I'm going to use this one on my wife. Thank you!

[JulioJustiniano]

BOOYA!

[lilguy00100]

u are supposed to snap the elbow not follow threw with the entire arm look at his hand it curves in some to HELP generate power as his BODY follows through if u put too much in the arm u wont hit with the elbow u hit with the forearm and if u miss u get a shin kick to the ribs or face so u should stop at the middle like he says or not i dont care anymore

[fkuubutch]

Wrong!!! He is Generating To Both His Hands And His Elbows...Even if he puts too much into his arm(Wich is like Impposible) he wont Miss as He has locked in muscles in an aimin direction in a Straight Forward Manner..A SHin Kick Can Only Be Deadly if its 100% Potential Hit Towards the head..If not he Can still stand up and fight =D

[lilguy00100]

wow... read mine again and see how im simply supporting this guys technique (its on the ok side for a free video) then go and learn some fight science and physics then go fight in a 10 round 5 min match and see how NOTHING is impossible then come bak and see how wrong U are

[lilguy00100]

how am i wrong if ur supposed to snap the elbow and curve ur hand in to help it snap? and the only way u use ur hand to create force is if u do a chicken wing type move that will force u to put too much in ur arm put u off balance. and how will he NOT MISS A MOVING TARGET? and EVERY shin kick is 100% force to the head ribs or leg, or did u not know that? so your WRONG moron

[mrkash5]

Why are you insulting him, he didn't insult you.

[lilguy00100]

ur right i shouldnt have done that

[XxDjhill]

Possible explination for the handcurve; Curving the hand during the elbow through tightens the outer forearm muscles creating a reflixive "snap" back to the standing form. Im not saying if u dont do this its impossible i just think its for a quicker recovery.

[Marlboro1488]

do you wanna be my privatcoach? haha

[JulioJustiniano]

lol 1488

[rocchilewis]

thanks very much for this tutorial. its improved my elbow throughs, thanks

[Silesz]

Look how he is standing there his arms are way to faar away from his body you have your arms tight in a fight this guy would be dead :D

[carolarze]

left elbo was good right elbo should always be thrown at a verticle to have more chance to cut.

[waxeater]

There's more than one way to throw an "elbo."

[ukatam]

There is an element of truth in apbasu's comment.

[ulram1973]

how'd u know???

[jj128]

You clearly lack the ability to have any kind of real debate. You obviously like to get on the internet and take advantage of its anonymity so you can assert your pseudo-intelligence, but you lose yourself in your own arguments. All you have to do is read from your first post to see that. Give it up man. Just admit your words have no merit and that you're a self-important talking head. Your argument is inconsistent and unjustifiable.

[apbasu]

I dont have the "ability of a real debate", thats why YOUR replies are full of personal attacks against the debater?

Everyone on the internet is anonymous. According to your point, all blogs should be supportive and nice, where everyone agrees to each other, because they should not take advantage of anonymity.

"Give it up man, Just admit your words have no merit you're a self-important talking head" - a desperate attempt to shoo away the difficult one?

[witchman1]

hahahahaha you are a weenie.

[liquidusman]

elbow can cut you nasty,the amount of blood is amazing.

good elbow=fight over

[lightning050704]

yeah its bloodier than boxing cuts.. just imagine being hit hard without gloves, thats a really big problem during a fight especially for the "cut-man" on the corner...

[xabermanx]

AWESOME COMEDY!!!!

listen to this guy if you want to learn how to really get your ass kicked.

[puffymuppet]

Wow, you criticized it, that must mean you're an expert.

[chrysleyt]

or an asshole

[xabermanx]

probably an asshole.

[Krelus]

Muay Thai is one of those martial arts I really hope I never have to fight outside of a spar. I've seen the numbers produced by a knee to the sternum, 'tis quite scary.

[johnnhoj15]

his chest is just DYING to catch my viscious front snap kick

[omnipotentidiot]

is this kid serious? what is he about 80lbs.? grow up to at least 5'10" and put on about 40lbs of muscle,THEN practice some muay thai.

[gragrn]

Very good demo. Excellent explanations, your a good teacher. Cheers!

[polfach]

It's better if you step foward while throwing an elbow..

[Sargeith]

The placed microphone gives a funny effect, everytime he performs a strike you hear *crack* :P

And idd Lightning05, of course he would only do this in close range, though some peeps here don't get it

[ThaSilverSurfer]

bro those ribs of yours are calling out to my shin kick

[Jahofnietdan]

Theyre calling me man.

[lightning050704]

yeah his ribs are open for a crunchy counter. but i don't think his going to do this move if his in range for a kick. this technique is designed for a close range combat wherein you and your opponent's body are almost 1cm close to each other. only dumbass would use this move if his opponent can kick him off. this is useful when your fighting face to face with your opponent. elbows are also useful in full-mount positions in MMA.

[Apoplexy123]

do you mean if your mounted or if you have been mounted?? would be usless if you have been mounted.. but great if you have the mount.

[lightning050704]

it could also be used if your being mounted, you have to grab your opponents neck to have close distance to his face just like a standing thai-clinch.. if you fail to do that, it will really be useless..

[Brewmaster757]

what if u smack ur funny bone?

[PBFR34K]

Uhm, i'm gonna assume that was a joke, but not to sound mean, if first of all you are making contact with that opening in your elbow your not executing the strike properly and secondly, If you are worrying about smacking your funny bone muay thai might not be the best sport for you. just saying... but seriously, repetition of proper technique always leads to success so don't worry about it if you're taking kickboxing seriously :)!

[Brewmaster757]

lol thanks but i wasnt really worrying about it was just a thought but thanks anyway

[telefe78]

I do not like it

[armyboy365]

...but its right
