Welcome back! Today is the third day of Muay Thai’s Cherng Mud. Today’s Cherng Mud is called “WANORN HAK DAN”. You will know in a few second why it’s called that way. Our Cherng Mud series will continue until the 15th. So if I were you, I’d stick right here and won’t miss a single one of them. Just so you know that it’s not easy to find this information elsewhere.

WANORN HAK DAN is also known as the Swinging Fists. The name already describes everything I think. So let us know a little more about it, and then we’ll take a look at how to attack and defense this move.

This move can be used to attack, defense and escape. If you want to use this move, you would swing your right hand to deliver a traverse punch, targeting the opponent’s jaw or the left part of the ribcage. And you need to step forward with your left foot and use it to support the greater weight of your body, while your right leg will give secondary support and is positioned at the back. With a twist of your body and shoulders, you could deliver lots of power to the right fist as you are throwing it to your opponent.

How to attack is simple: The fighter’s right fist is thwarted with a sweep of the left hand.

To defense: Anticipating the oncoming cross punch, the opponent throws a quick straight punch with his right hand to your chin. This is immediately followed by a kick to your right rib with the left knee. If you use your left hand to deliver the swinging fist or WANORN HAK DAN, then the punches and the kicks used for attacking and countering the attacks should be reversed.
