Basic Muay Thai Pad Drills: Inside Left Kick Counters

[@Irmasterlol]

My coach had us working this drill a few days ago. I think he got it from here, because he described the three levels the exact same way you did. Good stuff, guys.

[@Kickboxingathome]

Great training, gents! I wrote down your three basic counters here so that I can practice them. Love your videos and knowledge that you share; thanks a lot!

1. Respect is something there can never be too much of. 2. The wai at the beginning and ending of the drill set lets the holder tell the trainee he is finished and will not be attacked. In my gym, you are likely to be checked after the bell, or more techniques are given to push you. After you are wai'd you can actively rest, but not before. Guys get knocked out when they lose their focus at the end of a round, or hear the bell. Nice video DC.

As usual great vid guys. Ajarn Chai is in Australia next weekend hope to see this in his seminar. The addition of the final clips is a great recap - the change of angle really helps. Keep em comin' thanks

[@nahuelfantino]

Thank you guys you're helping many people to train better and smarter...

[@myownschadenfreude]

I'm a "hand talker" so I had to chuckle as Yamasaki kept taking his right glove off to talk. Great pad technique, as always. Thanks.

[@jessondomogen1848]

informative as always thank you very much, its very true that you can't always avoid being hit (no matter how good you think you are) so it really made sense that you must know how to control it. thumbs up!!!

[@lickalotapus13]

Love the videos guys!! Keep up the great work!!

[@ZENIGMATV]

Mr Miyagi said best defense against punch "not be there". Bruce Lee said getting hit is almost inevitable. Roberto Duran and Ali were great at rolling with punches. Every Muay Thai fan boy rips videos instead of watching for anything that can be learned. Best advice I think is from guys that actually fight and not the paper dragons in the local plaza.

[@jamesdotess]

Great video guys!!

[@Pfsif]

Great vids, keep em coming!!!!!!!!!!

[@jonny232323232323]

I find this is a great way to deal with that damn oblique kick some people do, or if distance permits throw the straight left when u switch to southpaw stance x

[@MartialArtsTutorialsFighttips]

Guys i really like the video, good work

[@octagongea]

good video guys just a quick question can you block the kick by twisting the knee towards the foot of you opponent ?

[@CrystalMethShred]

right hand counter is sick!

[@TakingItToTheMMAT]

There's some punching techniques in the video as well.

[@jessondomogen1848]

just wanna ask which is better deflecting the kick or blocking the kick?

[@RayWhiteMMA]

It's Muay Thai. They are training more than 1 set of techniques in a day.

[@TakingItToTheMMAT]

Now I'm all self conscious of this. I've been thinking about why I take my hand out of the glove. Maybe it is because I hand talk. Maybe because I hate stinky gloves so I take my hand out to air it out and not let it get so sweaty, but then why don't I take out my left hand. Maybe it's a course of habit because I take my right hand out of my glove when on the street, walking my dog and then I need to pick up a poop in baggie. What a mystery.

[@1023Endurance]

do you guys wai a tad too much or is it just me?

[@TakingItToTheMMAT]

It's just you.

[@PTS.MT.Goalie.BJJ.Andrew]

What about posting a comment? Does that make you more relevant on youtube when people search mma or whatever related to it?

[@charliecham]

If your doing a kicking tutorial why wear gloves? I've never understood why people do that.

[@damiranadamir]

[@BenConnolly94]

[@bigbore400]

less talking more kicking
