[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] [blue]“now the defence against this technique is fairly basic use your left hand to create a sweeping motion and wipe the opponent’s arm down. Your head can also be leaned back to stay away from the approaching uppercut. The reason this works is that the attacking arm is moved out of the way leaving them with out a weapon. The counter attack two this technique is open to two different methods the first use your left foot to hit the boxer on the abdomen with a kick called a teep. The second method is that you throw your elbow at the opponent’s face. If the attacker is left-handed, then the attacking and countering moves should be one in reverse. The reason for the counter attack working is that the teep will make the opponent out of range to attack with punches, the elbow works because you can close the range not giving the opponent enough range to successfully land the attack”[/blue] [blue]“right then as a example I want you to attack me with the move and I will defend against it”[/blue] Again Ryu arranged his feet to get in to his stance the lead foot facing forward towards Ben his rear one pointing out parallel to him, he was raised on the balls of his feet for more moveability. His fists were up in his guard, elbows tucked in protecting his chin and ribs, his chin was as all ways tucked in a shoulder high, his eyes were fixed on Ben's upper abdomen so he could see any attack coming at him. He stepped forward, at the same time he dropped his right shoulder then drove his glove up towards Ben's chin. As he was doing this Ben's left hand made a sweeping motion knocking Ryu's upper cut out of the way he also adjusted his head so that if he had missed Ryu's hands they would be a good chance that he would still miss the punch

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] [blue]“Time to learn Intra Kwang Jak its basically a punch were you step into it to add more range this punch is a universal one like most moves in Muay Thai meaning that you can use it for attack, defence or also escape. It a particularly helpful technique when there is a good distance between the you and your opponent. When we do this punch we are going to target the blow to the targets neck and as a consequence its best used when the neck area is left open and vulnerable such as when the opponent if using a left hook. When do in this move, you need to hold up your right fist in front of you like you would in your normal stance, as soon as you release the punch and it begins to twist make a launch yourself forward off your right foot this adds the long-range element as well as power. The downward hit is then delivered strike into the opponent’s neck or chin from the right.”[/blue] [blue]“Right then ten of the moves and then we will move on”[/blue] Ryu positioned his feet in the ten past twelve position, his lead foot pointing forward and his rear foot pointing slightly more forward than normal making a sixty degree angle between them. He then positioned his hand to defend his chin and rib, by pressing his elbows close to his ribs. He pushed off his rear foot and pivoted his hip and shoulder towards his target his arm shot out straight it was aimed downwards, his body relaxed, shoulders slightly over his hips. The left side of his body remained almost the same apart from the movement forward his hand still protecting his chin which was tucked in as always. His eyes were looked to wear his opponent’s upper abdomen would be so that he could counter-attack if anything was to come his way.

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] His arm cut thought the air as it twisted. By the time the arm had full extend and his movement forward had stopped the palm of his hand was facing down and the shoulders were still in front of the hips which would channel power from his feet up to his punch. The arm was rapidly pulled back to cover the chin and exposed the ribs. He moved his rear leg to the back and slide his lead foot after it. He would then proceed to launch of nine more punches until he was stopped by Ben. [blue]“Fantastic work Ryu your a natural now I'm just going to run though the basics of the defence and counter-attacks”[/blue] Ben handed Ryu a light blue towel to mop the sweat from his face he did so placing the now damp towel on the windowsill next to his bottle [blue]“thanks for the towel and all the help you have been giving me Ben”[/blue] he would get a laugh as a response showing that Ryu was welcome [blue]“The best way in my opinion to block this attack is with a quick movement. You can prevent the long punch by moving your straight left arm above your head and then swing your arm to sweep your opponent’s right arm away. The reason for this is that it will knock their punching arm down and off target leaving them with out a attack. The counter-attack is also fairly simple, vigorously fling a left roundhouse kick, targeting the opponent’s spine. If the Intra Kwang Jak is thrown with a straightened left arm, make a roundhouse kick with your right leg, this time aiming for the left rib. The reason that the counter-attack works is that a kick has a longer range than a punch does and the blow will cause the opponent to be knocked of balance and the attack stopped”[/blue]

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] [blue]“Now for Pajon Chang San this is like a combination for the move requires you to throw the a punch and a kick at the same time. Sound hard to do, doesn’t it? The combination is again a universal technique that can be used for attack, defence and escape. For this move we are going to target your opponent’s chin and rib area, when attacking the ribs it would be good advise to say to try to aim down the centre line of your opponent as that's were their organs and most vulnerable parts are.”[/blue]Ben the proceed to show with his glove what he meant running his glove from his eyebrows down to his belly button [blue]“ The punch is thrown with the right hand, hitting the chin, and the left leg is simultaneously swung to deliver a kick to your opponent’s right rib. Your full body weight is transferred by the right leg, while the left elbow is drawn back so you can stay balanced. The simultaneous punch and kick technique is best used for opponents who have a wide stance. ”[/blue] he then showed Ryu a example of a wide stance placing his feet at twenty past twelve, and explaining how open he would be to attacks [blue]“Right the Ryu lets try it out ten times then we will move on”[/blue] Ryu got into his stance for this move he would adopt a ten past twelve stance meaning that his lead foot was straight and his rear one would make a angle of 60 degrees. His arms where high and tight, his elbows protecting his ribs from any attack that could come and his fists guarding his chin, which was tucked in at shoulder level. Ryu's eyes where fixed at the upper abdominal area of were his opponent would be. Ryu's right shoulder and hip twisted throwing a powerful punch, at the same time Ryu threw out a roundhouse kick that would have destroyed its targets ribs. As the punch finished extending he pulled it back his body still moving as he had kicked though with the round house resulting in his body ending up thirty degrees to the right of were it started he adjusted his position and threw nine more in a similar manor

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] [blue]“To defend all have to do is use both of your hands to wipe away both of the opponent’s hands. After this, protect your body by turning to the right and pressing down your right elbow in order to shield the opponent’s kick. The reason that this works you are first knocking away their hands leaving only their kick to worry about then you use your right elbow to block the attack leaving no further attacks coming you way. Its still fairly easy to counter-attack simply use your left shin to hit the opponent’s right rib. This works because it stops the punch and as it has a effect of knocking the already off balanced opponent over”[/blue] [blue]“right then Ryu we can practise what it will be like for some body to block your attack when you ready come at me”[/blue] Ryu got into his stance the balls of his feet pressed in to the cold mat, as he prepared to attack he takes in a deep breath thought his nose. His shoulder lowers then like a tiger strikes the punch flys though the air he also fires of a left round house kick, extending his arm to balance himself. As the attacks come towards Ben he reacts quickly and efficiently wiping Ryu's punch to the side stopping its effect as a powerful punch next, he turned his body to the right and pressed his elbows down to shield himself from Ryu's kick which hit him at a blistering speed knocking him back a few inches [blue]“Perfect Ryu did you see how the defence is done against a move like that now a few more times so you get a feel for it”[/blue] the pair exchanged blows five more times [blue]“this next move is one of my favourites its called Hanuman Thawai Waen and is actually a pair of uppercuts. The guys around here call it the uppercuts combo! This crucial attack really takes a lot of practice and experience but it can be extremely effective when done with proper timing, force and distance. This move the pair of uppercuts is delivered to the opponent’s chin you also make a sudden jump forcefully raised the knees to hit the opponent’s chest.”[/blue] Ben went on to show his love for the uppercut combo giving Ryu a demonstration before continuing his explanation.

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] [blue]“The move is used for everything once again meaning it can be used for attack, defence or escape, you name it this move does it. Although I recommended you to use it when the opponent is caught with his guard down for maximum effect. Always focus on your opponent and think ahead which move you are going to perform so you can time this best. This can be a very lethal move if done with enough power knocking people clean out. The power of the uppercuts comes from the lift which generates from the legs.”[/blue] Another visual demonstration was make by Ben before him saying [blue]“right then Ryu you give it a go, lets see a good ten”[/blue] Ryu adjusted himself getting himself in to the correct stance for this technique his lead foot was facing forward and his rear foot facing out to the side together they formed a right angle. He had his hands raised high with his elbows protecting his ribs his, chin was covered by his blue and gold gloves, his chin was tucked in a shoulder hight safely protected. Then he dropped his both of his shoulders and drove of the balls of his feet, his fist came up fast using the power from his hip and the jump. His hand travelled at a almost vertically angle directly up. By the time he had full extended his arms the inside of his gloves were facing him. He then pulled them back to his normal Muay Thai stance. Checking that his body was still protected; his chin was still tucked in at shoulder level, his eyes still locked at the upper abdominals, his elbows still covered his ribs and his fist still covered his chin. So he fired of nine more in a similar manor [blue]“Now its important that I tell you the counter-attack for this move in case you are attacked by it simply swing your right leg and kick the opponent's left leg with your shin, this will make them off balance and not have a base to launch their attack from. Before they can regain their composure follow this move up immediately with another quick move. The best defence of this attack is to avoid coming too close during the fight.”[/blue] shows Ryu what he means by coming in close for the attack before he starts talking again

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] [blue]“When you sense that the fighter is preparing for this uppercuts combo, move back this will derail his approximation of the distance and to escape the deadly punches and make him miss. In addition, make sure to keep your elbows in front to protect your midsection and chin. The reason that this works is if you are out of range of the attack it simply cannot hit you, and you use your elbows to shield you in case it does”[/blue] [blue]“How about you have a few tries at hitting me with the technique and I will block them so that you understand how it works more”[/blue] Ryu shifted about getting himself in to the right stance for the technique his lead foot was facing forward at Ben and his rear one facing out to the side parallel to him. He raised his hands high with his elbows protecting his ribs. All of a sudden he dropped his both of his shoulders and exploded of the balls of his feet, his gloves came up aiming for Ben's face using the power from his hips and the small jump. His hand travelled at a almost vertically angle directly up. Ben simply stepped backwards making Ryu look like a fool as his attack missed its mark. [blue]“So that's how to defend against this technique why don't we try a again a few times”[/blue] the repeated the techique ten times in total with Ryu only hitting him once [blue]“Time to train a move called Luang Dan Hera yes that is it real name before you ask, now can you recall Pajon Chang San well this technique is done with a punch and a knee rather than a kick like the Pajon Chang San, this combination is universal and can be used for attack, defence or escape. Its best used when there is a short distance between you and your opponent as a knee is a short range move, to preform throw a right punch at the opponent’s jaw and at the same time throw your left knee to hit his opponent’s right rib. The Luang Dan Hera is best used when the opponent becomes careless, and lets his guard down.”[/blue]

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] [blue]“so you want to have your lead foot forward and your rear one at a right angle”[/blue] Ryu nodded and did as was instructed placing the his left foot forward and the ball of his right foot at a ninety degree angle [blue]“that's to form a good base as you know so that you can attack and defend most moves with out it you wont be able to raise your leg to block or have enough balance to preform a move like this”[/blue] [blue]“next you will need your chin tucked in at about shoulder hight, with your hands up in the defensive position the left hand slight in front of your right. Your elbows should be close to your ribs to protect them from kicks and knees”[/blue] Ryu adjusted his position so that his arms were close to his face his right hand on his jaw which was at shoulder hight, his left hand was slightly in front. [blue]“The reason of this is so that your chin is protected as a hit against this can knock you clean out, which is a bad thing as a extra defence you will have you hands protecting it and this position is also a good one for you to mount a attack as they are held high. As I said before the elbows will protect the ribs from knees and kicks”[/blue] [blue]“Then you need to twist your hip and shoulders throw a right punch to the opponent's jaw at the same time fire a left knee into their ribs, give it a try”[/blue] Ryu took a deep breath and then twisted his shoulders and hips his body rotating before being launched forward at straight right punch going forward towards towards jaw level. A left knee is also fired at the floating ribs aiming to break them. [blue]“Great Ryu your form looks good, and you followed what I said to the letter, now the reason you throw a punch and a knee at the same time is, its harder to block if done fast people will block either the punch or the knee leaving the other to him. You throw them from different sides as it adds more power and helps you keep your balance”[/blue]

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] [blue]“The defence to this is you must shield yourself from the opponent's blows by sweeping the potential punch away with your left arm. You should also quickly sway towards the right while raising your elbow to protect the ribs. The reason his works is the sweeping of their arm nulls the effect of the punch, while you elbow blocks the knee from doing any damage. Now to tell you how to counter the attack, twist a bit to your right, make sure to set your weight on your right leg, and use your left knee to strike the opponent's right rib. This counter-attack is similar to the one used for Pajon Chang San; only this time, the knee is used instead of the shin. The reason that it is so effective is your left knee can be released faster than their right knocking them off balance nulling their attack and inflicting your own in the process”[/blue] [blue]“The best word to describe this Muay Thai technique is the Spiral Elbow. This is quite an advance move. In addition, we need to use extreme caution when performing this technique as you can seriously hurt people with it. The Spiral Elbow is normally used for defence and for escape from incoming attacks. To be able to execute this technique quickly, the boxer or in this case you have to open both elbows outwards. Keep the points of both fists next to each other and then start throwing the elbows alternatively left and right to strike the opponent’s chin. Do it as fast as you can so that it will create serious impact to the target. Step forward when necessary to keep balance and to be in a good range to the opponent to attack. This move will make the opponent unable to shoot any counter attacks.”[/blue]   [blue]“so first you will need to get into a quarter past twelve stance”[/blue] Ryu moved his feet so that they were in the correct position his lead foot facing forward with his rear one pointing out to the side together they made a ninety degree angle, he was up on the ball off his back foot so that he could add more force and had more move ability [blue]“right that looks good, you want your feet positioned in this stance for a number of reasons such as it will give you a better balance and add more potential power to the blows”[/blue] Ben copied what he had said so that he was also in the same stance as Ryu

Then he raised his fists to protect his chin, making sure that his elbows were tucked in tight. [blue]“Great Ryu we want to have your arms like that so that you can protect your body and face, your chin being at shoulder level helps you protect it and your eyes looking at the opponents upper abdominals lets you see any attack coming whether it be a high, mid or low one.”[/blue] Ben once again copied his own instructions getting himself into the correct position.   [blue]“Now when you go to use the attack, you have to do it fast but for this training example we are going to do it t a nice slow speed okay. Like all techniques, his is going to come from your whole body not just your arms so the first step is to turn your hips and shoulders. Now you want to draw both elbows outwards from your ribs, making sure to point both hands at each other. Then exploded from your hips and shoulders bringing your first elbow to the opponents chin as soon as it lands twist the other way so that you hit them with the other one now you give it a go”[/blue]   Ryu pulled his left hip and shoulder back to the correct point so that he could explode with the added power it would give him. Then he raised his elbows out so that his hands where pointing at each other. As soon as he had done this, he twisted throwing his left elbow though the air at chin height as his body extended to ninety degrees he whipped his arm back and struck with the other one. Finally, he returned to his starting position with his guard raised up [blue]“fantastic Ryu that was really good your attack had great form and looked like it would have hit somebody clean on the chin which is what we wanted”[/blue]

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] [blue]“Now you’re going to need to know how to defend and counter-attack against this move to defend you must protect your chin and jaw as this is the main target so you want to raise your guard to protect from the pointed elbow. Now the counter attack works on the basic principle in Muay Thai of distances, the only time you can attack is when you are in the correct distance and the elbows and knee moves have the shortest, and the kicks have the longest. So all you have to do is when the attacker get close to you is strike they solar plexus with a powerful kick”[/blue] [blue]“Now it’s time to learn the Poong Hok technique which is also known as Front Elbow. This move is could be used for either attacking or defending. Here, the left elbow is thrown by the boxer to his opponent’s left ear. At the same time, he raises his left knee to strike the opponent’s rib. To maintain the balance, the boxer also has his right arm raised at almost the same level as the striking arm, and twists his body to the right to lend force to the knee blow. Moreover, watch out! As both arms of you should be are raised to both strike and maintain balance, your abdominal area is left vulnerable. The opponent could take this opportunity and advantage to deliver a blow to the abdominal area.”[/blue] [blue]“For a start you will need to get in to your regular stance just like before.”[/blue] Ryu positioned his feet so that they were in his normal stance his lead foot facing forward with his rear one pointing at a right angle. He was on the ball of his back foot, so that he could move about easier. [blue]“right that’s looking great, your feet should be positioned in this stance for a various of reasons a few of which are you will gain better balance and add more  power to the attack”[/blue] Ben did what he had said so that it was a visual example to Ryu

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] [blue]“After that you’re going to want to raise your hands into your standard guard, remember to keep your elbows close to your ribs and your fists close by your chin. Your chin should be tucked in and at shoulder height, with your eyes looking at the opponents upper abdominals.”[/blue] Ryu preformed what he had been told first he moved his eyes to look at upper abdominal height. After that he moved his chin down so it was shoulder height and tucked in. Then he raised his guard to protect his chin, keeping his elbows tucked in tight like he always did. [blue]“wonderful  Ryu you have your arms like that so that you can protect your jibs and chin, your chin being at shoulder level makes this easier and your eyes looking at the opponents upper abdominals lets you see any attack coming whether it be a high, mid or low one”[/blue] [blue]“Now let’s run though the attack okay, first I’m going to need you to twist your left hip and shoulder back then launch your elbow forward to hit the opponents left ear, at same time I want you to use your left knee to strike the opponent’s ribs. As you do this keep twisting your body to the right this will add force to the knee.”[/blue] Ryu rotated back on his left hip pulling his shoulder. As soon as this was done, he released the power from the movement by throwing his elbow at nose height his knee as simultaneously came up to strike at the opponents ribs his body kept turning to add power to the technique. [blue]“that was awesome Ryu, you pulled that of to a T man, you sure are a fast learn if I put you in to a few fights I’m going to make a mint as your manager and trainer, so keep it up.”[/blue] Ben then stood with a smile on his face thinking about all the money he was going to make.

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] [blue]“Now I need to teach you how to defend and counter attack when somebody tries this move on you”[/blue] Ben starts to run through the movements as he is talking to give a visual example. [blue]“The when somebody comes at you with this attack your response is going to be to throw your left arm forward and pull down the right arm to yourself from the attack, ok ? Now the counter to this move rather than a defense is to strike the opponent's abdomen how does that sound?”[/blue] Ben finishes his demonstration at looks at Ryu as if to ask does he understand [blue]“Sok Fan Nah is basically the front elbow strike. This technique, used for attacking, defending or even escaping, is executed by throwing the right elbow to the opponent’s face or shoulder blade from a shoulder-level position. A quick bend of the arm and the inner wrist, plus a close proximity to the opponent, are required to deliver this powerful attack.”[/blue] [blue]“For starters you will need to have a ten past twelve stance,”[/blue] said Ben. I moved my feet so that they were in the correct position. My lead foot was facing forward with my rear one pointing out to the side together they made about a sixty degree angle just like Ben had told me to do. I was up on the ball off my rear foot so that I could move easier. [blue]“Right that looks amazing, you want your feet positioned like that for multiple reasons like the increased power it gives you and your movement speed is heighted by it so you can move away from danger quicker you have to bear in mind that the stance is the bread and butter without it your technique won’t be as good and neither will the effect”[/blue] explained Ben who then done as he had told me and got into the same stance.

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] [blue]“Subsequently you’re going to what to raise your guard so that you’re not going to be knocked out, so elbows in tight to protect yourself at any time with your hands up by your jaw line; I want to see your chin tucked in at shoulder level with your eyes looking at the opponents upper abdominals.”[/blue] instructed Ben. I did as I was told first I moved my chin so that it was at shoulder height. Then I raised my gloves to protect my chin and face. Then I made making sure that my elbows close to my ribs. [blue]“Again that’s fantastic Ryu we want to have your arms like that so that you can guard yourself properly from shots to the body and face. Your chin being at shoulder height is really going to help you protect it and your eyes looking at the opponents upper abdominals lets you see any attack coming whether it be a high, mid or low one.”[/blue] Said Ben as he moved in front of me. [blue]“Now to strike, this is where the damage is going to come from but it’s only going to work to the best of its abilities if you have the correct stance and guard which is why we don’t just rush in to this head first. Now you’re going to throw a right elbow to the opponent’s chin so first you want to twist your hips and shoulders to the right then quickly bend your inner wrist this will add to the speed and power, and release the elbow trying to strike with the tip of your elbow for maximum damage how does that sound?”[/blue] Ben asked rhetorically. I twisted by shoulders and hips to the right and when I felt that I was ready released by attack. I quickly pulled my wrist in as my elbow whipped around and would have struck Ben in the temple if he had been a few feet close [blue]“Now I’m going to tell you how to defend and counter attack against this move. When your opponent is using this move, here is what to do as the boxer is facing his left while he attempts to deliver the front elbow strike, you can counter the attack by throwing your shin or his right knee to the boxer’s right rib depending on the range. Or alternatively, you can also hit the rib area using his left foot. The reason for this is that it will keep you out of their attack range.”[/blue]

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] [blue]“This new move is called Pra Yaikae or the Swinging Elbow. It is a universal move so can be used for attack, defence, or escape. This technique is done by shifting the body weight from the left foot to the right as the right foot is stepped forward. The feet, hips, and shoulders should all move in a coordinated manner and at the same time in order to deliver the maximum possible force for this action. The boxer then swings the tip of the right elbow and uses it to hit the opponent’s jaw. The elbow is the sharpest part of the body and may cause severe cuts, or swelling. When the elbow strikes the jaws, the opponent is likely subjected to extreme pain. This attack is also that deadly that it can cause extreme damage or even kill when used by a master”[/blue] [blue]“For this the best stance will be quarter past twelve, I’m looking for good form so up on the ball of your foot”[/blue] instructs Ben. I place my lead foot on the mat facing forward, my rear one pointing out to the side as I was told to do by Ben. [blue]“That looks just right you’re up on the ball of your back foot that will help with your movement and allow you to spring about. You feet are forming a ninety-degree angle just as I said they should as far as I can see your doing great. Now the reason this technique uses this stance is that you’re going to step forward so you need a solid base that you can move quickly from this is the perfect stance to do this from”[/blue] [blue]“Now for your guard you’re going to need your standard guard so; hands up protecting your chin and face, eyes looking at the upper abdominals, chin at shoulder level and finally elbows in protecting your ribs. So let’s see you give it a go.”[/blue] explained Ben. I formed my hands in to fists and raised them to my jaw line, I lowered my chin so that it was at shoulder height and I was looking to were my opponents upper abdominal muscles would be. Final I pulled my elbows in so that they rested centimetres away from my rib cage. [blue]“Once again great work Ryu your guard looks very good I can imagine it would be hard to break and it will be a good base to launch attacks from,”[/blue] stated Ben.
