Our website is one of a very few website representing you this knowledge of Muay Thai. So if you stick with us, you will know all four Cherng Muay in Muay Thai. Basically is how to use all of the 8 Muay Thai weapons as effectively as possible.

Cherng Sok is how to use the two elbows as the weapon. We are explaining you next what this move is and how to do it. You can practice this by yourself at home or if you have Muay Thai trainer at the gym you enter, he will definitely help clearing and perfecting you with the move.

Let’s take a look at what this move is all about.

SOK FAN NAH is basically the Front Elbow Strike. This technique, used for attacking, defending or even escaping, is executed by throwing the right elbow to the opponent’s face or shoulder blade from a shoulder-level position. A quick bend of the arm and the inner wrist, plus a close proximity to the opponent, are required to deliver this powerful attack.

How to deal with this move as an attack: Your left arm should be held with the right arm to control any consequent move or attack.

On the other hand, if your opponent is defending by this move, here’s what to do: As the boxer is facing his left while he delivers or attempts to deliver the front elbow strike, the opponent can counter the attack by throwing his shin or his right knee to the boxer’s right rib. He could also opt to strike the boxer’s right rib with his right shin or knee. Alternatively, he can also hit the rib area using his left foot. The descriptions are simply reversed from right to left if the boxer happens to be a left-handed competitor.
