Honor Student – Muay Thai Style
We have all seen those bumper stickers that read “My kid is a honor student of so-and-so school”, right?!
This morning I came across a video of an honor student of a somewhat different kind of school.
It all takes place at a Muay Thai training camp/school in Thailand.
Now, I will admit that I have read conflicting reports on how old this kid really is. I don’t know whether he is 9 or 12 or even 13 years old.
Does it matter?
You decide for yourself considering that he is showing off his skills during the 4th round of his 5 x 3 minute training session.
Oh, yeah, after he did his daily 5k (3mile) morning run.
Enjoy and be inspired by this honor student – Muay Thai style!
Low Muay Thai Kick Can End A Fight Within Seconds
Muay Thai, which was developed on the battlefields during the 15th century, is known for using punches, elbow strikes, clinches, knee thrusts and of course devastating kicks.
Now, even if one cannot kick above the waistline there is a kick at your disposal that can end a fight real fast and I am thinking of the one you could employ in a self-defense situation.
It is the Low Muay Thai kick aimed at the thigh of your opponent.
Yours truly was once at the receiving end of one of these powerful kicks and let me tell you that I couldn’t use the hit leg for about an hour. Seriously!
Coming from a totally different martial art I wasn’t accustomed to pulling up my knee to avoid described predicament. Sometimes you learn the hard way.
As always, to learn a specific technique correctly, please seek advice from trusted and knowledgable instructors.
The following video shows you legendary Dutchman Rob Kaman, who years ago was an incredible fighter and feared even by his Thai opponents.
And another short clip shows you the kick applied in a real MMA/UFC fight:
