Beginners Muay Thai Instructional: The MuayThai Stance @ Tiger Muay Thai

[HellzWindStaff420]

I learned to keep the elbows tight to the body



[orangeiceice12]

why keep the elbows out more? Is this to offer less opportunity for transmitting a thrown elbow?

Seems like it leaves the body open when a punch is thrown or hand extended during a kick.

Please bear with my ignorance, I know boxing, not muay thai.

@orangeiceice12 your right. i do muay thai and that leaves them open to get broke.

[capoeira2brazil]

Way cool Ray. More knowledge leads to better appreciation of the sport.

@epheseus And leads to better training. Lot of people still train with a boxing stance. Thank you for the video!
