Introducing elbows (diary entry)

thai specific sparring04.11.2024

My other Monday night lesson saw my teenage client return for hour-five of his Muay Thai course. Tonight we did a series of layering rounds before I introduced elbow strikes.

We completed these specific-sparring 2-minute rounds:

  1. Placement kickboxing – very light no-equipment warm-up round
  2. Linear techniques only
  3. Kickboxing
  4. Clinch with no strikes
  5. Clinch with knees
  6. Clinch with elbows to the arms and body
