What is HAK DAN LOM KROD? HAK DAN LOM KROD is the Thai Cherng Mud’s name for throwing the fists and elbows. This move is well used for attack, defense and escape. It is actually a two-step move, the first is you punch with a fist then soon afterward you will use your elbow of the same limb. Firstly, you as a boxer have to deliver a punch, straight and direct to your opponent’s left jaw with your right hand (if you’re right handed). Then after that, as you step forward with your right foot to get closer to your opponent, then you will deliver another blow, but this time with your right elbow. It can be directed at either the same target or at your opponent’s neck.

To guard: The boxer’s blows should be wiped to the left by using the left arm and the boxer can alternatively throw the tip of one’s foot to the boxer’s midsection.

To attack: Perform a quick right kick aiming to the boxer’s left rib. If the boxer uses his left fist instead of the right and also the left elbow to strike, in this case you must use your right arm to guard and protect yourself from the blows and deliver a swift kick to his rib with your left leg.

There are only two more Cherng Mud to go. So don’t miss them!
