If you’ve visited our store recently, you might find out that we have just added new MMA grapping gloves in it. Got them from Top King Muay Thai factory a few months ago. So if you love MMA or like to start soon, a pair of these would be just perfect.

The trick for picking a pair of MMA gloves just like how to pick Muay Thai gloves. Make sure that you buy them from a trusty place and they’re the right size. Gloves are made for absorbing impact. Material is important for this. Cheap leather and thin foam layer underneath are not what you should look for. Good gloves will be durable and allow your hands and fingers to move quite freely but not loose.

For starter or for practicing, look for gloves with some relatively heavy weight for building muscles. For fighting, find the light ones which will be good for the speed in the fight.

These three pairs I chose to show them to you below are one of each 3 different styles of MMA gloves Top King has provided.

Top King Grapping Gloves Combat: Black/White

Top King Grapping Gloves Ultimate: Red

Top King Grapping Gloves Army: Urban Grey

I personally love the Ultimate style. I think they feel more firm when wearing or that just me I don’t know. But I would go for the white ones tho’ since I think they will go well with the rest of the outfit. Top King’s gloves quality is pretty good since the price is not that high comparing to other brands. But too bad Top King doesn’t have the ones with thick padding like Twins’ that would cost more. For starters I don’t think the padding is that important that you need to be worried about it right now. Anyway, I hope you like our new MMA gloves, check them out if you have time. Who knows you might find a pair that you like.

Hello and welcome to the blog! That’s right, today’s article is devoted to Learning Muay Thai video. A friend and I have shooting these videos series hoping that they will be useful for those of you who want to learn Muay Thai at home. The moves are in slow motion. So you will see how to do each of them clearly.

The Thai Boxing elbow chop or “Sork Sap” is used for impacting on targets like face, head and collar-bone. At the right moment, this muay Thai technique is pretty easy to execute and surprisingly cause serious result. Basically, what you have to do is to bring the elbow down vertically to hit the target. The variations are you can also use both elbows at the same time for this job calling “Double Elbow Chop” or “Sork Sap Koo”.

This Thai boxing move can be used only when the opponent is shorter than you or is stooping down.

and here is the double elbow chop.

There are two ways to prepare the elbow for this. First, a more powerful method, you can raise you whole arm up straight and bring the elbow down vertically to the target. Second, raise and bend the elbow so the fist is over your shoulder then bring the tip of your elbow down.

There are two types of Muay thai elbow chop. Either using rear elbow chop or lead elbow chop.

The rear elbow chop is used when you’re at the boxing stance (the left foot in the front and using left elbow for the work). You will need to twist your body round including your shoulder, hip and extended right leg to the left. Then raise the whole arm straight up and bring the elbow down vertically to impact the head of your opponent.

For the lead Muay thai elbow chop, you don’t need to twist the body. Use your left arm to deliver the elbow chop straight down to the target.
Alright, that’s it for today. Come back later for next Muay thai elbow video. They’re free! See you next time.

This is another fun thing I enjoy doing. Since I once in a while write articles about Muay Thai, I have to search the market too. I’ve seen thousands and thousands of boxing shorts and gloves. I kinda know which pair of gloves goes well with which pair of shorts. Wearing something that match is good for your look and I think that’s kinda important. Good clothing can make you look more professional. You know it’s true.

I never mix and match two items of different brands since on Muay thai items will have big brand logo on it. I think that kinda affects the pattern and the look of that particular piece. So I’m gonna do only Top King’s today.

Top King’s products are great, especially the satin Muay Thai shorts. The quality of the gloves are pretty good comparing to their price. Velcro straps help it easier to put them on or take them off. Beside almost everyone use Velcro straps Muay thai gloves nowadays.

Here are a couple pairs of item I matched:

Top King Boxing Gloves: Green

Top King Boxing Shorts: TKTBS-06
and

Top King Muay Thai Gloves: Black/White

Top King Muay Thai Shorts: TKTBS-33

Got your own mix and match and want to share with us?

Welcome back you guys! So how are my friends so far? Have you been perfecting the boxing moves I wrote about in this blog? And have you notice, this is our 24th Cherng Sork already. When you’re back next time, we are starting with something else. I’m thinking Muay Thai Knee moves.

The last Muay Thai elbow move is called “Naka Kluen Gai”. I don’t know why but it’s how the ancient Muay Thai boxers called it in the past. The best word to describe this boxing technique is the “Spiral Elbow”. This is quite an advance move. Extreme caution is needed when performing this technique. Here’s how.

The Spiral Elbow is normally used for defense and for escape from incoming attacks. To be able to execute this technique quickly, the boxer or in this case you have to open both elbows outwards. Keep the points of both fists next to each other and then start throwing the elbows alternatively left and right to strike the opponent’s chin. Do it as fast as you can and it will create more serious impact to the target. Step forward when necessary to keep balance and to be in a good range to the opponent to attack. This move will make the opponent unable to shoot any counter attacks.

To the attack: You must protect your jaws which are the main targets of this move from the pointy elbow attacks by holding your arm up to guard the face area.

To the Defense: Concentrate and watch out for the time when the boxer needs to get closer to you. Strike his solar plexus or any midsection with a fast strong kick.

I hope this is useful and that you have enjoyed my free Muay Thai lessons so far. And yes it’s about time to move on to another Muay Thai technique next time. At the mean time, perfect this move with your thai boxing master and get ready to learn more right here. See you next time.
