8/3/16 Thai knees, Thai elbows, pad training and standing grappling

THAI KNEES
Thai stance - short, high hips, high hands and short guard.
1. Feeder jabs, catch the jab and cover his rear hand, turn the left foot out and have a strong ankle, lift the knee then push it forward from the hips. As the knee comes up, the right arm cuts into the neck fro the clinch. It literally felt like a jamming strike. Step away after the knee strike and throw an elbow.

2. Feeder throws jab then cross, capture the right hand, take a small step with the right, turning the toes out and having the strong ankle, strike with the left knee. Again, finish with the elbow strike.

THAI ELBOWS
1. Feeder throws jab-cross, pull down and tug the right cross as you step in with the right elbow (kiss the bicep style), follow up with left elbow, right elbow, right back spinning forearm/elbow.

2. Feeder throw the jab, step in with the left elbow, follow up with right then left elbow, finishing off with the spinning back forearm / elbow.



PAD TRAINING

1. Jab - cross, bob and weave under the lead hook, throw the left body hook, right cross - left hook, bob and weave under the rear hook and you throw the right body hook, left head hook - right cross.

2. Jab - cross, feeder throws head high attack, cover with elbow up the centreline, step in with the rear elbow strike.

STANDING GRAPPLING

1. Feeder throw jab –cross, parry the cross and step in with a covering elbow, reach up, over and around for the standing guillotine. Get the armpit on the back of the head, get arm in deep and finish – left elbow high and on his shoulder, push the hips forward and lever his head.

2. As above but the guillotine is not deep, he gets his fingers in. Release the neck arm for the undertook, the left arm either pulls on his forearm or jams his humerus into his side (it just depends where his arm is) and reap him down to the ground.
