  • that is truly awfull technique never block with your arm if u get a powerfull kicker u will only take a couple of kicks or break your arm AWFUL!!!!

  • @weasel11000 ha! tell that to Ramon Dekkers, Andy Sower and other great fighters !! The technique demonstrated in this video is one of many useful techniques .. just curious, do you even train Muay Thai ? and if so .. with who ?? get off the keyboard and show me somethin :)

  • My muay thai instructor told me to never lift my leg too high for defense, because the opponent might fake a high kick but instead kick you right through the hind leg. He actually kicked me so many times during sparring like that.

  • @iceman1asdf The lifting of the leg to block the body kick is used more in traditional Thai style; your instructor is right but Im sure he wasnt done with his thought though. An opponent can fake/trick at any time, its up to the defender to choose which defense technique they will use along with reading the opponent body to see if the which kick is a fake and which is really coming to you.
