Muay Thai - How to Block Straight and Hook Punches to the Head
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2013
- In order to have an effective offense you need to have an effective defense. Blocking punches properly can be the difference between winning and losing. Key points to remember:
1. When blocking straight punches, keep your gloves pressed up against your forehead. Your elbows should be tucked in tight and not flared outwards.
2. When blocking hook punches, your hand should reach all the way to the back of your head and your forearm should remain pressed against the side of your head.
2. Your chin should be tucked and your eyes should remain on your opponent.
3. DO NOT cover your eyes or turn away from your opponent!
4. DO NOT meet your opponents punches! If they miss, that is better for you!
Hope you guys enjoy it! Feel free to contact me with any questions!

It's great to find this video after my first sparring class where I eat almost every punch to my face.
dude you have no idea.. that was me yesterday.. haha im so sorry from countless jabs to the nose and hooks to the jaw. and a kick to the ribs
Dude. Literally me.
Unfortunately this is extremely relatable. Also still need to learn how to block uppercuts :(
same thing with me ahhaha
Thank you very much for your teaching Sir. I have been learning Muay Thai for 2 years. before, I feel afraid in blocking punch. You remind us to press up against forehead. It is very useful ! Although I still little bit afraid, I can now clam down and show a littlw bit improvement and now I can watch opponent's punch. Thanks again for solving my main problem.
Thanks for these videos, I watch them over and over to remind me of what I'm supposed to be achieving. I had my first sparring session with my own teacher and experienced students at our gym two nights ago and most of what I learned went out the window. I threw so many random punches in succession until I couldn't breathe any more LOL. First lesson! Throw your combination and then step back and breathe. My defence was poor, which is why I'm watching your videos AGAIN!! Live and Learn :)
the video is very good, i wait more videos similars, and when i can, i will see all videos that you will do!!
This is a great video for training
I practice for years and went through judo, kung-fu, english boxing, karate kyokushinkai, krav-maga and yoseikan budo but I only started Muay Thaï few days ago. I tried many types of blocking techniques for straights punches but I really think your little forehead trick is the best way to block quickly and efficiently straights and crosses to the head. Plus, it's really in the muay thaï spirit and it's pretty smart so thanks for your video. I think I'll follow you to assimilate more quickly muay thaï fondamentals.
Have nice fights!
i have trained karate taekwodo and a little krav maga i am great at learning technikes but i am thin and currently out of shape.what kind of martial arts would u suggest me? do u think muay thai isnt for me?

+The Clever One ! If you look most Muay Boran fights, fighters are not so muscular so i think you could do it well.
It doesn't matter if you're thin, you can be an efficient fighter even if you're thin. I'm pretty muscular and I had some hard times against fat or thin opponents. Go on and try ^^

thank you both guys i am looking forward to start mma,muy thai or taekwodo
Very helpful. Thanks mate
Nice Boy.. From Indonesia Watching
Ha, it happens to all of us at first. When I first started sparring I was like a sitting duck! lol. Thanks for your support, I'm glad that I can help!
Thank you!
thanks coach
Nice ! Thank u
thanks!
Excellent video. I'm guilty of not moving my arm all the way back when blocking a hook, leaving my rear head exposed. It's a very bad habit but I can't seem to kick it!
train bro do i a lot of times in front of a mirror then it will be easy for you
🤟🏻
