Best Tutors in Manchester for Learning Muay Thai

Muay Thai is a national combat sport from Thailand. It is almost similar to kickboxing except that in Muay Thai, the fighters have eight striking points, unlike kickboxing, which has four. It is therefore referred to as the "art of eight limbs." The sport has become accessible from the late 20th Century towards the 21st Century. Muay Thai is related to other martial arts like Karate, only that it does not symbolically show the fighters' ranks using belts. 

It is a sport that has been embraced by different countries across the world, among them being the UK. Superprof has brought together some of the best muay thai instructors in Manchester to help you learn this combat sport.

Muay Thai has numerous benefits. It helps reduce anxiety and incorporates different muscles in your body, ensuring that your whole body is exercised, relaxed, and burns the excess fats. It also improves your defense mechanism making the trainees more confident.

Muay Thai Training Methods

Fighting methods are grouped into two moves; major and minor. The minor moves include kicks and punches, while the major includes elbow and knee strikes. 

Punches.

There are seven types of punches: Chok, jab, cross, hook, uppercut, spinning back fist, and superman punch. In this particular sport, body punching is less used to avoid exposing the opponent's head and give more room for knee and elbow strikes. 

Elbow (Sok)

Sok is considered to be the most dangerous methods of attack used in muay thai. Elbow strikes from different directions have different uses. They can be used as finishing moves, or for defense against the attacker. There are various forms of elbow strikes. Among them are single and follow up strikes. The single elbow is an independent strike, whereas the follow-up strike, serves as the second strike from the same arm.  

Kicking (Te)

There are two types of kicks in this sport, the roundhouse kick and the foot jab. The roundhouse kick involves a triangular movement by kicking upwards and cutting through the arm and ribs. The boxer can block such a kick with their outer part of the lower leg. The boxers are trained to connect with their shins as the foot is considered weaker from its delicate bones.

Knee (Ti Khao)

There are different styles of knee strikes. For example, the curving knee strike is almost similar to the roundhouse kicking, only that the point of contact is the knee. It requires such strikers to be physically fit to be able to deliver strongly. Another one of the knee strikes is the flying knee strike. In this move, the striker jumps forward and, with one of their legs, strikes the opponent with their knee.
