Hello and welcome to the blog! That’s right, today’s article is devoted to Learning Muay Thai video. A friend and I have shooting these videos series hoping that they will be useful for those of you who want to learn Muay Thai at home. The moves are in slow motion. So you will see how to do each of them clearly.

The Thai Boxing elbow chop or “Sork Sap” is used for impacting on targets like face, head and collar-bone. At the right moment, this muay Thai technique is pretty easy to execute and surprisingly cause serious result. Basically, what you have to do is to bring the elbow down vertically to hit the target. The variations are you can also use both elbows at the same time for this job calling “Double Elbow Chop” or “Sork Sap Koo”.

This Thai boxing move can be used only when the opponent is shorter than you or is stooping down.

and here is the double elbow chop.

There are two ways to prepare the elbow for this. First, a more powerful method, you can raise you whole arm up straight and bring the elbow down vertically to the target. Second, raise and bend the elbow so the fist is over your shoulder then bring the tip of your elbow down.

There are two types of Muay thai elbow chop. Either using rear elbow chop or lead elbow chop.

The rear elbow chop is used when you’re at the boxing stance (the left foot in the front and using left elbow for the work). You will need to twist your body round including your shoulder, hip and extended right leg to the left. Then raise the whole arm straight up and bring the elbow down vertically to impact the head of your opponent.

For the lead Muay thai elbow chop, you don’t need to twist the body. Use your left arm to deliver the elbow chop straight down to the target.
Alright, that’s it for today. Come back later for next Muay thai elbow video. They’re free! See you next time.
