Master Sken (Muay Thai)

[Khun Kao]

I actually teach that technique at seminars for fun. It make a great encore after hours of MuayThai fundmental techniques. People love the break from the drudgery to do something fun....

But I always tell them, you will NEVER use this technique in a real-life situation, whether it be on the street or in the ring....

NEVER

I could see a potential application of jumping off their knee and hitting them with the downward elbow on the way down.

But stepping onto their shoulder? That guy had to stand still and prepare himself to take the weight. That is not exactly a high percentage technique in my book!

I concur. jumping off their knee and hitting them with the downward elbow on the way down is a fundamental MT move, but MT fighters simply jump high to execute the elbow down on opponent's head.

Sken is an amazing guy, and I could see a potential application of jumping off their knee and hitting them with the downward elbow on the way down.

But stepping onto their shoulder? That guy had to stand still and prepare himself to take the weight. That is not exactly a high percentage technique in my book!

Here is a very nice tutorial for Master Sken when he apply the "Climbing downward elbow"

What do you think about this move ? do you think it's only in training or it can be applyed in real fight ?
