  • 3;14 you are blocking away from the opponent

  • CROSS YOUR HAND! You need to guard the side of your face that is facing your opponent...pause the video after your spin elbow...you are blocking the side of your head that isn't even facing your opponent

  • Im loving this background music in all the videos.

  • Ohh yea ima learn that combo and beat some ass i have a fight comin up ima knock his ass out hahhahahaha

  • hit by ur strong part

  • Thanks for a great video. Informative and to the point. Good job.

  • Seriously, Thanks for the awesome vid.

  • Not bad! Great for the beginner as well as the advanced fighter.

  • Awesome tut for beginners.

  • apa-apa

    Apachai!

  • @MrTotalMisery HAHAHA I just started watching Kenichi and IMMEDIATELY caught this! XD Apachai = <3333

  • This is so very, very helpful. I have been raking all the skin off my forearms and elbows at the gym.

  • Isn't your right leg not supposed to move during that spinning elbow.. To add to the torque? That's what I was taught but I'd like to hear why he turned it

  • @ExileHorror You have to follow through with it so yeah you have to move your right leg with a spinning elbow and vice versa if your a lefty.

  • What if the target leans back a few inches and then pushes, punches or elbow the arm connecting to your "curled-up wrist"? I'd guess sprained/broken wrist :|

  • his face is open to counters! Cover your face pls. Do it the muay boran way pls.

  • ok i learned how to the elbow now teach us how to do a tiger uppercut. please :-)

  • funny voice on 1:46 :)

  • I'm 5' 5" and 8st. If I learn Muay Thai will I be able get strong enough and learn techniques that will help me defend against niggaboos? Please answer.

  • @Kousaburo technique is always better than strength. Muay Thai isn't a reliable self defense martial art, it being a sport. Learn the techniques and principles of Muay Thai and Boxing, then learn Krav Maga. It's much more suited for real life encounters.

  • if you missed the elbow and had your wrist bent pressed against your chest and the opponent punched it would that not break your wrist?

  • 116 people thought that their knee was the elbow...

  • 116 punching bags

  • haha when he says you always have to make sure your other hand protects your chin and the rest of your face the guys other hand the guy puts his second hand away and sticks out his face xDD

  • I can hit better with the elbow than with the fist... I never knocked someone out with anything other than an elbow =/ and it wasn't intentional

  • i like the beat :D

  • @serdar294

    Right on :D

  • Great tutorial

  • you open your guard while throwing those elbows

  • how much does a punching bag costs? i want to put it in my room & my dad agrees with it :(

  • @EtherliteG580 mine cost around 80$

  • @TheNinjabassist oh, USD80 ?

  • @EtherliteG580 yes. i just uploaded a vid of me using it on my channel.

  • those elbows have no defence

  • Nice work bro! check my page i just made a new video!!!

  • ooh yes that may change my opinion. i kind of immigrated to muay-thai from judo. and that was what the muay-thai trainer told me. or was it to go back quickly to a defensive stance lol :s hmmm... but you're opionion is right

  • dubstep

    

  • dangerous fight

    must see pure elbow!!

  • watch?v=S8b7b-KL1TM

  • "bend your wrist'"!!!! omg

    for the proper technique watch this watch?v=_e5S2P5HCBI

  • A Word of Caution: When you are fighting an opponent, you are ALSO vulnerable to being fought by your opponent.

  • The most powerful elbow strike, in my opinion, is something like stile No.1 in this video..

    Classical karate elbow strike, like a crochet with elbow, up from down...

    And for turnover elbow it works only if your opponent is surprised and from half gard, as I know- but instead of that most of people try to do it when attacking!?

  • @YMthefirst u havent taste muay thai elbow.... :)

  • @adamsince91dotcom

    Muay thai, karate, kungfu or some other what is the difference? Elbow is elbow!

    Can be harder bone by striking tree or some exercises like that but every strike has weaknesses, and I was talking about that...

    Every man has two elbows and can use it if he knows how and for that he hasn't have to train muay thai...

    I've break some bricks more than 10 years ago and had no idea what's muay thai...

    Cheers ;)

  • @adamsince91dotcom

    And just for record in my country we have matrial arts too, but they are more the part of cultural heritage...

    Cheers ;)

  • @YMthefirst in other martial arts was less practice elbow but muay thai is primary upper body strike...

  • @adamsince91dotcom

    OK. I've seen your point... I've watched some muay thai trainings (even trained some sort of muay thai on my kickboxing trainings) and they train elbows and knees more than others, but in Europe muay thai fighters, as far as I know, have better punches, taken from boxing, than fighters from Thailand or other countries from region, and of course this is generalization...

    I wish you good trainings and luck, especially in tasting elbows - skip that part ;)

  • cheesBon

    @bloodletter55 talk about the force is not about weight..noob

  • What or music?

  • why the voice over dude? you speaking another language in the vid?

  • @MuayThaiHawaii96720 These guys are Dutch, so they won't be speaking in English, but I assume that in the actual raw footage they're just going over what they are going to do, rather than explaining it like in the edited video.

  • boring videos man

  • The power of the elbow comes not only from the swing of the elbow, but through the hip and the twist of the leg (plus the step took to strike). Elbow is very powerful strike if do it correctly.

  • @yusofyahaya you can also throw a slicing elbow with less torque and more accuracy and speed and still devastate someone. theres a knockout elbow but there is also a quick slicing elbow that I find works great too

  • the elbows can injurie people, the punchs can knock out, i think elbows are better for small persons

  • I like elbow macaroni.

  • @zmogelas14 oh i just so tasty

    i know that's why i love giving it to you!!!

  • Background music made me wanna throw some elbows!

  • nice...

  • LOL, most boring video EVAHH!

  • SNAP!!

  • Hitting a bag is one thing. Getting your ass whooped in Sparring is the other thing. Always keep an eye on the fluent combination of the techniques, never rely on one technique. The bag doesn't hit back, your Sparring partner does.

  • @handpratze good point

  • 0:18

  • elbow only works in very close combat otherwise its to risky, without gloves a punch is stronger for knockout. And you have to be really fast with elbows, recover fast to guard yourself, like the video said ur varuable, its important to get back to your defence stance after the elbow

  • @Sinantay Actually an elbow can deliver more power I've found, although it could just be personal preference. It's not risky to be close in a street fight, as most people can't fight at that range, we can.

  • @Sinantay elbow do work very well in close combat, but it is not harder than the fist...if you look at the fist you notice that has a greater area than your elbow, elbow concentrate all the force into one single are at the tip of your elbow. It's not just a knockout it can be deadly if hit at the right area. also with elbows you can't throw a punch in close combat you don't have enough of a drawback to deliver a good one and your non hitting elbow is your defensive guard

  • good video

  • muy malo tiene menos tecnica el pelado si pegas un codazo aci tas al horno cuando tira el codo aacendente qda regalado

  • @14kokos33 nee, pero es una demostracion.Golpes asi de codos todos seguidos con velocidad y fuerza, olvidate,Lo haces de goma.Acordate que para pegar asi tenes que estar muy cerca de tu oponente,eso significa que es mas dificil para este,pegarte.

  • @333Maty333 no maaames guey!!!

  • pussy

  • Muay boran would kill thai in a serious fight

  • @Schaschale that's cause Muay thai came from Muay boran. Such lethal weapons from Boran and chie is way to dangerous to compete in. Yes Im in training right now, lmao.

  • von den leuten die dieses video bewertet haben, haben 102 nen ellenbogen in die fresse bekomm xD

  • @ANZACJugger0 ofcourse muay boran would be more "kick ass" cuz' muay thai i "just" for sport.. muay boran was the fighting style the thai soldiers in old days. this means that muay thai (still a great sport) is for getting a K.O and muay boran is to kill your opponent.

  • Comment removed

  • you know what i think is stupid is how a lot of fighters hit heavy bags that they can't even move ie: to heavy. you don't gain any power in your punches if you can't move the bag, so it's dumb to hit a bag that's to heavy.

  • @sk8forlife90 Most of the time when your hitting the heavy bag it's so it wont move, and if it does move, your trainer smacks you across the face.

  • @TradingWoWaccount don't you think it's dumb how people hit heavy bags that are to heavy for them?

  • @sk8forlife90 Eventually they'll get too light for them... =/

  • @TradingWoWaccount yeah then they will be punching 1000lb heavy bags around like rag dolls <_<

  • @TradingWoWaccount

    Why would your trainer smacjk you if the bag moves? If it moves, it shows power right? So thats a good thing isnt it?

  • @womblewandering It's a bag drill where you consistently have to jab the bag without making it move, it's good for learning to bring your hand back quickly while generating just enough power so you can bring it back even faster.

  • @womblewandering

    I dunno what that guys comment was (couldnt find it) but in some cases the bag moving isn't always great. In training, sometimes you need to work on technical ability and control without the power so you can get used to doing it correctly before you apply power. The bag is just a target and you need to show restraint and contorl by making contact but without the power to move it. Once you can do that, apply the power and it will alot more powerful.

  • If you intend to learn the ring style elbows, they are available everywhere but with varying qualities in terms of practicalities and instructions. The ring style elbows are basically offensive weapons. But if you want to learn how to use elbows also for very effective blocking and and counter attacks, you must look at Muay Chaiya. In my humble opinion, the Muay Chaiya's way is very effective both inside and outside the ring.

  • i was training in muay thai but i just could not get really good elbows. boxing, clinch were alright but the fucking elbows threw my combinations off.

  • Does anyone know a site with a description about how to give them elbows ?

    I'd like to learn this sport but my parents don't want me to get them lessons.

    So I was thinkin' bout takin' lessons from youtube etc.

    I noticed that even through watching this vid, my elbows still aren't perfect, I didnt put my fist at the right spot etc... So I'd like some extra info, any suggestions/help ?

    Peace.

  • @Exoji I've recently started taking lessons, and although i think you can learn alot from the instructional videos (it certainly gave me the basics,what to expect from my teacher etc b4 my first lesson)- get some pads and work in your room with a pal who is willing to train with you until you can take the iniative when old enough to pay for the lessons yourself. Keep the practice up the passion to learn, and you'll blow everyone away at your 1st lesson!(sorry i can't offer any specific sight)

  • I'm going to elbow my banana tree now.

  • well i do muay thai elbows are small part of the training so you keep your twd and dont talk about someting ya no nothing about

  • Guys i have a question about head kicks in muay thai or boxing whatever...How is possibly to take some hard punches in head given with a leg or fist i don't care and not to fall down,have all these fighters hard heads or it's a way how you get used to it???

  • @8tomy8 You either have a glass chin or a granate chin. The only way to find out which you have it to get hit HARD. There is no way to train knockout resistance you either got it or you don't.

  • @Darylw27 I agree and i disagree. There are ways to protect yourself in a fight to minimize the damage you receive. If u take an elbow to the temple...i dont care how strong u think u are u are going down

  • @ronmatthews That's certainly true and I didn't mean for my comment to come across that way. I was just stating there are people out there who can take knees and kicks to the head and recover and others who would get knocked out by it. Obviously the best thing to do is defend yourself so you don't have to relay on your chin.

  • well

  • That punching bag seems really light..

  • matko

  • Bending the wrist accomplishes nothing.

  • @USEejit it does. but just try do it in a boxing glow. if u bend ur wrist ur elbow can go fader.

  • @USEejit Yes, it does. Touch the centre of you chest with the knuckles of your thumb as you rotate through your elbow. Then try while bending the wrist and placing the top of your hand to the centre of your chest. Notice how much more and how much easier that elbow comes around?

    Peace.

  • not bad and good job well done!

  • look up whotookdonnierules for some real muay thai vids. this shit is garbage

  • hi guard is terrible. his other hand should be more central to his face. really nice spinning back elbow. great technique on that one.

  • OBSERVE:

    TO EMPLOY EFFECTIVE ELBOWS ONE MUST HAVE DEVELOPED FOOT WORK!

    THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE TIME ATTACKING ELBOWS NEED MOVEMENT TO GET IN POSTION TO LET ELBOWS LOOSE.

    THE OPPERTUNITY FOR IN PLACE ELBOWS IS MUCH LESS FREQUENT THAN STEPPING IN AND ATTACKING..

    DO WHAT THE VIDEO SAYS AND THEN STEP IN AND ATTACK !!

    ITS ALL JUST DO EAZY RIGHT??

    TRY LEARNING TO -CLENCH -PUMMEL AND INIATE-EMPLOYE ELBOWS FROM THE COLLAR TIE POSITION!

  • Cover up with your hand, yet you don't even do it right? That same guy with the black boxing gloves hitting the boxing bag is doing it wrong. You don't leave your hand out to for 'cover'. You're a dickhead mate. Have you acctually done competative MT fighting in Thailand?

  • "Muay Thai is for killing!"

    "what if I accidently kill someone??"

    "WORRY ABOUT THAT AFTER YOU HAVE KILLED THEM"

    History's strongest, Kenichi lol

  • @firegold84 if you're a member of a gym they should usually insure you. which if you get in a fight and really hurt someone will look go in your favour. warn them, but if they attack, go to town on the fucker.

  • Muay thai elbows are the best hahaha

  • i kick in your ass stupid kid ..hahaha he looks like a gay boy

  • i kick in your ass stupid kid ..hahaha

  • Can a beginner who has no earlier experience in martial arts start Muay Thai? I'm in decent condition, been going to gym for almost two years, don't know if it matters. (17 years old). I've just suddenly got this urge to start a martial art...

  • @Deadkira There truly is no need for previous expirience to start a martial art especially in muay thai beacuse technuiqes in this martial art are not usually based on flexibility or acrobatic flips

  • @Deadkira Yes, there is no wrong time to get started. And at most gyms, they will ask you if you've had experience or not, and help you get started. I haven't been training Muay Thai for too long, but before Muay Thai I had absolutely no martial arts experience. If you're looking for competition, or fitness, getting in shape, or just enjoy martial arts, definitely go for it. Just go in there with an open mind, and be willing to learn.

  • @Deadkira Absolutly!!! I'm a Muai thai practionner since 2 years now and i had no background at all in martial art.... I really like this sport cause it's pretty intense and hard!!!!! You have to try it!!!! It'shard at the beginning but after a couple month it become easier.....it's a lot of cardio....

    Good luck!!!!

  • to bad i learned real muay thai...

  • NONE OF THIS CAN BE USED IF YOU'RE SHOT

  • @CABLEMANAGER then learn muay thai and get a ccp

  • @CABLEMANAGER

    Do you know , good professional Muay Thai fighter in Thailand can kill someone with just one elbow attack. You wont die with one punch attack , but one elbow attack can kill you really. Maybe elbows are the most dangerous weapon of muay thai , but it's hardest to use.

  • This video is so cool, I gonna practice it, just to learn to use my elbows in a devastating way. :P

  • this fighting style kicks so much ass

  • im going to learn muay thai, because i think it is THE MOST effective way of stricking in a fight, simple

  • @WARRIORMPG786 yea i wanna learn it

  • eat one of these elbows and you're done

  • Muay thai in my opinion is the best striking style.

  • @9N8X for me, it's a fact.

  • @9N8X Its good but I think Muay Boran would have been way more kick ass than Muay Thai

  • @9N8X Yeah I agree. Muay thati's the bomb

  • @9N8X definitely man,i think a bitta kickboxing/taekwondo etc. thrown in though is great,love watching the dutch fighting thai and seeing something a little less conservative thrown in,like a spinning high kick and just being like..."what the fuck!?"haha!

  • @9N8X yeah, keep thinking that, pal :)

  • @9N8X im a boxer but I have to agree..

  • @9N8X you know that muay thai created for almost instant killing so they can use it on war(read it on wiki)

  • Thats a nice view. Elbows are underestimated in street fights like kicks. I see alot of street fights on youtube with amateurs using elbows. Done right like in this video and deadly!

  • @probe26 muay thai elbows are not just throwing elbows. It requires tehcniques, skills, and practices. Most of martial arts today have elbow strikes. They may come from muay thai elbow strikes or not, no one cares but muay thai fighters still use elbows most effective and efficient.

  • @TAC412

    I know, thanks. I train at Fairtex in SF

  • i think i hate the "im so noble and humble and respect everytyhing" type of guy more than the "i can headkick godzilla if i wanted and knock out brock lesnar with a single jab" kinda guy....

  • Good training video, easy to understand if u have some knowledge in the martial arts. Mixing muay thai with other arts will only make a fighter better. Thanks

  • i don't know if it's me but i'm taught that when throwing an elbow your opposite arm guards the front of your face that way you'll be better protected from frontal attcks

  • @hoboeden Correct :)

  • I know it's an instructional video, but if your going to try to learn how to throw an elbow from this video, remember to throw it through your target, not at them.

  • @bloodletter55 can you explain what you mean by through the target and not at them i need some tips.

  • @NoobsSuckx7 All strikes of muay thai are made to penetrate and deliver high amounts of force. To do so, you not only have to make contact; you have to drive through with the strike to get the most powerful, effective strike.

    Think of it this way: Does a train stop when it hits a car because it made contact with the car? No; it drives through the car like it's paper. Your strike is the train, your opponent the car.

    Hope I helped.

  • @bloodletter55 thx that helped alot

  • @bloodletter55 you can still be effective with a slicing. glancing type of elbow. its like a knife. slice or a more powerful yet just as effective stab.

  • @bloodletter55 train out weights car 100:1

  • @bloodletter55 In other words, ur saying the force pierces through?

  • @bloodletter55 True, that's what my muay thai master always told me, "don't just hit your opponent, go THROUGH him."

  • @Jandro1083 One of Bruce Lee's quotes that I actually remember was almost the exact same thing. XD

  • actually that is true if you're a heavy weight, because both of you will have less speed. but if you're a lightweight you have to make your punches slick, just hit him fast, fast painfull touches... because if your hand stays in front of you your defence is down. yes maybe you will have hit him harder but he is thaught to ignore your punch and hit you back the same time. now your defence is down you will eat the tarmac

  • @rocksfoplox Yeah but your concept is based more around boxing, in muay thai you're enforced to go forward at all times wile taking shots. Scoring in MT is more heavily based on toughness rather than technique.

  • @Jandro1083 LOL Mike Tyson started that saying.

  • @Jandro1083 My master told me to kick as if I was going to slice the opponent.

    Sweet.

  • @Jandro1083 same for me for my shotokan, we were always taught to hit THROUGH the opponent, like we're aiming our fist at their solar plexus, but we're actually trying to hit the area behind them.

  • @Jandro1083DUMMY. HES RIGHT DONT YOU UNDERSTAND HIM? YOU MAY TRICK YOUR BRAIN AND YOU GET IT PROGRAMED TO DO IT ALWAYS RIGHT,.you cross him, yo dont hit him, danger, do it right, or you may brake your hand or a leg.

    thas why this is called art, you need to do it right.. speedcross him son of a bitche, thats what i said to my pupils.

  • @bloodletter55 well said...

    

  • @bloodletter55 just think about who you are teaching this to!!

  • @sexemup69 and think about the goons that can put up a facade to get inside a gym so they can rob a bank. The world these days!

  • first left elbow strike in this video is thrown after a left step. Much more power to step with the right foot and strike with the left elbow. Try this, you will see.

  • the technique is close to good, but your blocking hand should be closer to the middle of your face..... I see a great oportunity to get your nose broken if you do not bring your hand closer in to cover your face.

    also your "body shot" elbow should be tighter, you are exposing your kidney and should be watching out for a knee to the back

  • for what to nned this? do we live in a world where u must be scare to get attacked evry second? no.

  • WHATS THE SONG CALLED ???

  • hello , i would really like to know about the song name please

  • muaythai does not break brick,board or what ever.no breaking competition,no shouting no ten against one but everyone loves to train as it is for yourself.gentle people.only smiles when you train.

  • @yimmiytube Muai Thai is for real fighting, i think other Martial Arts are mor a show off then anything else.

  • @AlienwareMetal not really, i think jiu jitsu is possibly THE best martial art for self defense. muai thai does seem very good though
