Muay Thai: How to Parry and Slip Punches

Показать описание

World Muay Thai Federation Pro Heavyweight Champion Joe Boobyer and Elliott talk us through how to slip and parry punches. The more variety you have in your defences the more dangerous you become, add these in with your guard (shield blocking) for variation. These will also set you up for a variety of counter strikes.

Excellent drill but careful when slipping a punch. an experienced muay thai fighter will notice you slip and if they're flexible enough they'll kick you in the face with their lead leg or (the most common situation) their jab was just a feint to make you slip, they'll then put their lead hand on your neck/shoulder and push your head down straight into their knee. I know they said in the video don't lean back because then you're open to your opponent walking into you with a flurry of strikes, but in most muay thai situations i would say this is better as you can always use your front kick or jab to create some space as you lean backwards to prevent your opponent walking into you.

However overall this is a great drill for beginners looking for some tips

If you use long arm you can still block with elbow if it's a fake.

More mma fighters should adopt these teachings

Shouldn’t you slip your head a bit while you parry?

Hi I would like to know if muay thai compared to other contact sports (mma, kickboxing) is somewhat safer for the brain being quite scared by the new CTE data. I am asking this question because I noticed that in Muay thai there is more emphasis on body strikes and fewer head strikes than in other sports and those are delivered by lighter weight fighters. Are these reasons real? And another reason would be that I see many former muay thai fighters reaching their 60's and having a career of over 300 fights and being mentally well. I ask because I have a 7 year old boy who wants a career in contact sports either kickboxing, mma or muay thai.

When I fought with taller opponents, whenever I slip inside I always get pulled into knees. This happened for 2 weeks before i notied the problem LOL

Thanks man I love this, straight forward and clear. I feel way more confident entering my first Muay Thai class being able to practice some of these with someone. I know this is 4 years old but it's still helping people out there thankyou bro!
