Great clip. I'm going to pass along these videos to my students, some of which are MMA fighters getting ready for upcoming amateur competitions. Speaking of Ajarn Chai, I learned the "overhand left as you step forward" counter from him at the Oregon Thai Camp in 1999.

[TakingItToTheMMAT]

In 2000 I saw Ajarn Chai teach the same technique with a right hand pat on your opponent's left hand to clear the line for the overhand left. That was at the Legends seminar. His stuff has always stood the test of time.

Brian, I'm not sure what you mean by "with a right hand pat on your opponent's left hand." Is that in the clip and I missed it?

[TakingItToTheMMAT]

No it's not in the clip. It was a variation shown to me by Ajarn Chai at the 2000 Training with the Legends Seminar. It's a lot like the one he always shows as a counter to the jab + cross where you pat the cross down and immediately follow with your own cross. Hope that helps.

and..."wipe"? are you fucking kidding me?

[dss103]

WOW! I swear Jon Jones did this to Machida in their fight! No sarcasm what Jones did was very similar to the last counter you guys showed

CONSIDER G-R HAND FIGHTING DRILLS INTO ELBOWS !!

DONT NEGLECT PUMMELING INTO ELBOWS EITHER !! THERE IS STRAIGHT PUNCH IMMEDIATLY SAME HAND MAKE ELBOW.

HOOK PUNCH SAME HAND IMMEDIATLY ELBOW.

AT THE VERY WORST YOU CAN CHECK THE MEI MAI MUAY THAI AND DO THE ELBOWS OUT OF THE FORMS !

PANA TUKAN BOXING HAS GOOD COMPLIMENTARY TO THAI- ELBOWS,,

THERE PLENTY OF ELBOW TECHNIQUES OUT THERE , ITS ALL UP TO THE STUDENT TO LEARN AND PRACTICE THEM !

ONE MUST DECIDE WHAT IS IMPORTANT T.

[masterkillas]

I can spend hours watching these videos..great technique, detail, and explanation! Quick question..which counter would you recommend for an overhand right in a self defence scenario?I'm aware everyone has their own preference and that there's no right or wrong way.

[logikbro1]

i would like to see anyone have time to do these counters in a proper fight where an overhand right is not telegraphed and thrown with full speed, more likely ur ass will just block the punch then ull counter with something else

[assasin887]

has anyone told u that u look just like dan hendo

[lockup87]

good stuff

[FUSSYMUAYTHAI]

very good advanced western boxing concepts,

i have seen mostly light weights excute these type of moves..

too many people dont even relize what is transpiring in front of there eyes..

these types of moves take years of training to perfect and you ultimatly need natural ability as well..

keep up the show it great seeing the moves exposed for all to experiance and reconize..

lastl every one should learn GRECO ROMAN STAND UP CLENCH ITS GOOD FOR MUAY THAI
