Показать описание

When choosing your style, you ultimately want to consider the type of fighter you and your opponent are.

1. Long Guard - Often utilized by taller fighters; hand traps, kicks, knees, and elbows.
2. Muay Khao - translates to "knee fighter" as someone who likes to close off the distance, clinch up, and work knees and elbow strikes.
3. Dutch Style - boxing heavy, tight guard, utilizing punch-to-kick combos.

I like the dutch style guard. I love boxing combos and mixing it up with some kicks as well.

If you dig deeper into Muay Thai there are very interesting postures/guards mostly utilized by fighters from Golden Era. "Drakula" guard for example. MT is beautiful!

Thank you for explicating on the elbows-out guard. I would always get frustrated when someone would tell me "hey, you're leaving your body exposed."
Like, that's the point. I would also add that keeping your elbows flared out makes it much harder for your opponent to land hooks and kicks to the head, both of which are techniques that concern me a lot more than body shots.

From a very young age my dad has always tought me the long guard and definetly on the street because it looks more passive. The problem is, now I always use it with boxing too :)
