This month in classes at Urban, we focussed on the following aspects of Muaythai:

• Set up the low kick with your hands first
• Step across the opponents body to evade their punches and generate power
• Roll the hip and shoulder all the way over
• • Changing levels of attack keeps your opponent guessing
  • Bend knees and lower your entire body for a body strike
  • Don’t lean in for body strikes, keep your ribs above your hips

• • Block strong: toes up, knee to inside of elbow, knuckles on your head
  • Maintain your  stance so you can counter straight away
  • Block and counter first, then catch and counter
• Designed to teach you how to stay calm and react
• Helps improve timing and distance
• Focus on speed and accuracy to build fluid, effective combinations
