Welcome to MuayThaiArt.com/weblog, the one of a very few places where you can learn Muay Thai moves for free. We have been talking about Muay Thai’s Cherng Mud for a while now. There are 15 of them all together and right now we are at number 10.

Today’s Cherng Mud is called LUANG DAN HERA. I know they all sound a bit funny but hey this is REAL Muay Thai stuff that you’re looking for, I can assure you that. I’ll start by telling you what the move is and how to do it. I try to say it as clearly as I can. I don’t want to confuse you by telling you so many things to do. I try to do it step-by-step, let’s see how well I do that.

LUANG DAN HERA is just like the PAJON CHANG SAN. If you can recall, PAJON CHANG SAN is done by throwing a punch and a kick at the same time. This one, LUANG DAN HERA is done by throwing a punch and the KNEE at the same time. Don’t get confused.

Like the PAJON CHANG SAN, this combination is used for attack, defense or escape. Used when there is a short distance between the two fighters, the boxer throws a right swing to the opponent’s left jaw and at the same time throws his left knee to hit his opponent’s right rib. The LUANG DAN HERA is best used when the opponent becomes careless, not bewares and lets his guard down.

To Attack: The opponent must shield himself from the boxer’s blows by sweeping the potential punch away with his left arm. He should also quickly sway towards the right while raising his elbow to protect the ribs.

To Defense: Twist a bit to the right, set your weight on your right leg, and use your left knee to strike the boxer’s right rib. This counter-attack is similar to the one used for PAJON CHANG SAN; only this time, the knee is used instead of the shin or the foot.
