The Spinning Back Fist

Welcome back to my blog! I hope my blog can sort of help you learn and practice Muay Thai moves by yourself at home. If you like what we do here and want to stick with us, you can check out our clips in the category on the right.

Some of Thai Boxing moves can be really hard to perform. It would be better if you also join a boxing gym at the meantime and practice these moves with your trainer. Though you can train this by yourself, no one can help correcting the move for you, in case that you do something wrong.

Spinning Back Fist is called “Mud Wiang Glab”. It is used for targets like chin, ear, jaw, and temple. How to do this move is turning your body around (round clockwise if you’re right-handed and counter clockwise if you’re left-handed) to the back, looking back at your enemy and at the meantime swinging your fist using momentum to help adding the power to your fist and hitting the target by using the back of your fist.

Take a look at our clip and do the same!

Another video I would like to show you today is the Uppercut technique. It can be really powerful if you use it right. Let’s get started!

The Uppercut

Muay Thai’s Uppercut or “The Star Gatherer” is what we are focusing on right now. This technique will be really effective when the opponent is close to you. The power of the punch is from bracing against the floor with the foot of the same side of the body as the fist that is being used. Just remind yourself “Right fist, right foot”.

The Uppercut in Muay Thaiboxing or kickboxing can be used to hi chin or solar plexus. The knees should be bent slightly. So should the elbow. And the fist should be thrown vertically upwards hitting the target with your knuckle.

Uppercut can be performed by your lead fist or rear fist. Take a look at the clip!

Notes: in Muay Thai Boran, the uppercut is punched horizontally forwards to the solar plexus.

Alright, I hope you find my videos useful to you somehow. Please write your comment here or at YouTube. It would help us improve a lot. Thanks again for watching. See you next time.
