We still continue today with the Muay Thai’s 15 Cherng Mud. They are the punching moves that you need to learn for Muay Thai. When we finish with the Cherng Mud or Thai Boxing’s Punching Moves, we’ll move on to the kicking. Don’t miss this. It’s 100% free!

So today’s Cherng Mud is called ONGKOT KUANG PRAKAN (”KUANG” in Thai means “twirling”). This move is also known as the Twirled Fists. I’ll tell you a little bit what it is then how to perform this move step-by-step to make it easy to follow.

This move is particularly useful when the opponent fights and afterwards begins to escape or withdraw after executing a technique. As he starts to step back, the boxer should take advantage of this good opportunity to make a good attack with both left and right punches, aiming for the chop line.

To Attack: Use both your hands to guard against blows coming from both sides. Never relax your arms as blows to the jaw can be damaging. Keep your head down and continue to move back as you prepare for a counter-attack.

To Defense: Since, once you’re in this situation, there is a very slim chance for you To Defense act the blows being thrown by the attacker, given that both your arms are locked into a defensive position as the boxer throws left and right punches, your only resort would be to make use of your lower body. You can throw your right or left foot to strike the attacker’s midsection.
