Thread: technique comparison

Sieh
First off, again, learn to read: its not my teacher. Are you 12 years old or just brain dead? It was a thread put up by trusted forum member firecobra of his teacher.

I have no interest in discussing anything further with you so DONT use my name to draw me out. As i said what you cant see as a cult member i cant describe or help you with. You use comparison by illuision to continually validate something you dont understand.

IF you have a further problem with anything i have to say, we can take this to the floor, lets see how good your pahuyuth is in real time, email me or PM personally. Let's see if you walk the walk as good as you talk it.

Thank you for your hint.
Fire cobra, I mixed up a little, I am sorry for that.

No problem Sieh.

When you get right down to it we all have the same movement on our shoulder joint/elbow etc so the angles we can use the elbow at are all going to be the same irrelevant of style(the human style as Bruce Lee said).

And the target areas we can use the elbow to are the same for all of us.

What can differ is how we train them,ie develop speed/power,rhythmn and timing,and the experience we have (or have not) in actually using them against a fully resisting equally skilled fit and strong opponent,which is what Nak Muay do now and have always done.

My teacher by the way did not like elbows.

lets not forget pressure testing. fighting is a must or you are just dancing. hmmm cinderella how bout a dance?

Neither do I. They often lead to cuts, and thus cut a good fight short.

It is right, humans are just limited by the body restrictions, systematically, e.g. the knee of a leg just moves in one direction (usually, lol).
But how to do the elbow strike differs a lot. You can cover the yes or not, open the hand or close, the way the elbow swings can differ, the targets can differ etc.
In MT based on Pahuyuth you cover your yes or body as good as you can while hitting (this can be trained),
we open the hand in order to reduce injuries (put a hand on the muscle of your elbow-lower-arm and open/close the hand of the arm where you touch the elbow, you feel the difference)
we learned some basic ways for the elbow to swing, but of course we are not restricted to such ways, we can apply the technique to whatever we want
we aim to everything just depending what we would like to attack (...), e.g. shine, hand, head, upper leg, lower leg, inside the leg, outside the leg etc.
we learn to see the defense as a positioning in order to attack better (after we have defended), we do not necessarily defend only not to be hit.

Do you learn the same approach?

And the target areas we can use the elbow to are the same for all of us.

Actually they are 2 areas, isn't it? The known frontside (if you have the arm in front of your body) and the tip.

What can differ is how we train them,ie develop speed/power,rhythmn and timing,and the experience we have (or have not) in actually using them against a fully resisting equally skilled fit and strong opponent,which is what Nak Muay do now and have always done.

Sure, you have to know your tools in order to work with them. :-)

I also do not use them often since many trainers are afraid of wrong use and injuries. Where I learned you just can apply techniques the partner knows, you start using fists, feets, elbows and finally knees (after a long time), so very often you have to fight without elbows at all. But I like this way, it helps you keeping and shape, you can not relax on your preferred techniques if the partner did not reach these techniques yet.

But I guess most of the clinches could be avoided with a proper elbow preparation, do you agree?

Sieh

A further technique to compare, talk about, recognize or given your opinion about.
But please do not forget to tell us why do you think so.

I rarely see this technique applied, I am talking about the principle.
Do you know this technique? What do you think about, is it practical?

Sieh

I think it is fit for a gay porn movie.

I think the tick has become my new hero.

Sieh if your talking about stepping or twisting inside a knee strike its used almost every fight in Thailand.

Well first off what is the attacker doing his own style?its not muay thai. Look at the clinch position, his two hands are low on the neck, his knee is not generating anything, poor psoture, its poor technique on the attacker that the allows the other guy to make the move. If the other guy moved, it would be sensed by the hands on the neck and you would adjust, thats muay thai> so technique wise the attacker is not doing anything and the responder is doing whatever, its like a two man form not a real technique.
I would say its poor technique on both sides. A muay thai person has a wide arsenal of attack and defend in the clinch, so he has enormous options and now with mma we have endless stuff in the clinch. But primarily the sequence lacks everything that muay thai or mma clinch contains, so i dont know where to begin to show how bad that is but you guys do a great job at that from the looks of it.

Yes, the technique is about stepping in towards the opponent. And you are right, many fighters in Thailand know this and you can see them using it.
I would like to get your attention to a simple fact first: how people see the same images with different understanding, just look at the replies.

fire cobra,
But what about Europe and the US etc, how often you see such a technique over here?

kyuss,
this images is a simple form of demonstrating a technique. All movements are reduced to a minimum trying to avoid confusion. The partner is present to show where/how to apply the technique, let's say he is a possible target in a possible (very simple) situation.
The idea is: you can learn how to fight.

Let's look to a different knee technique.

Watching just the technique it looks a kind of useless since you can not imagine what for it is, right? It's theoretical stuff, maybe, but for sure this movement looks strange and I never have it seen in Europe/US.
After the technique is shown you can see an application. It is just a very simple application, but it helps to understand in what kind of situation this technique is useful. Some how you go out of the way of the attack, but at the same time you bring your knee right into the attacker. Note also the movement of the attacker and the knee are opposed, so the more the attacker brings his weight/speed into his attack, the more he gets the knee. Many parts of this shown situation are very flexible, e.g. the knee could hit everywhere like the leg or head.

Could you imagine to apply such a knee strike, maybe in a special situation?

Looks like a dog marking his territory.
