"This is Ric O'Kane on behalf of expertvillage.com in this clip we are going to be demonstrating 1 out the 4 basic types of Muay Thai punches. If you want to learn more about Muay Thai you can visit our website fightingtrainer.com. The first thing you are going to want to do is get in a wide stable stance, I'm want to sit low with my knees slightly open not knock kneed. I'm going to lean slightly forward, my left shoulder forward, my chin tucked down, my elbow in, palms facing my own face. Okay as I lean forward I want to strengthening my arm out and put 60-80% of my weight to my right leg. This is my first punch it is called the shift jab. For the cross which is also a straight punch I'm going to fill my back shoulder, turn my right hip along with right heel into the punch. Again the jab, the cross, jab, the cross, and for a side view again our weight, low center of gravity, I shift my weight from 50-50 to 70-30. The jab, the cross."

on 8/2/2008 im sure this works great when fighting other muay thai, but what happens when you come up against a grappler, they will use that excessive weight distribution against you. Can you explain this a little. Thanks.

on 8/2/2008 A friend of mine started with Isshinryu, then moved on to Tai Chi--the martial arts applications of Tai Chi Chuan. He could "read" (even if they didn't telegraph) what someone was going to do in a boxing stance, and used open hands for sparring. Fast with his hands, he could catch the wrist with one hand, or the forearm with two, and either palmheel strike (light or non-contact) or redirect (including pulling) you zooming past him. I think you should be able to throw these punches, especially in a tight situation where you've got to hit and back up, but if I'm going to punch, I want to be able to kick, too. My instructor is introducing us to some grappling, but the art is karate, Soo Bahk Do in particular, so she's supplementing our training in case of the unexpected, like the grappler.
