How to Fake a Kickboxing Attack | Muay Thai

Faking a kick, punch, roundhouse kick. Okay? Now, just like boxing, they fake a lot of
punches that you think that their opponent thinks is coming and then they end up throwing
something else based on the reaction of the opponent. Okay? So Muay Thai is the same thing. You'll see a lot of the time they'll be bouncing
on their front leg. Now, the front leg can either come out as
a push kick, or it can come up as a roundhouse kick. So we're done picking their legs up the whole
time, faking, okay? Your partner is going to react. As you come up, whatever he reacts with, you
don't deliver the push kick. You come with maybe a roundhouse kick. Okay? Now, you may fake with a roundhouse kick.

Okay? So as you fake, you come back, you throw across,
and then you can still end up throwing that same kick again. So if you fake with that leg you may not end
up throwing it. You may end up throwing two, three punches
and then actually throwing the kick that you actually intended to throw in the beginning
that you threw the fake. Okay? So again, we can hands up, I go to fake the
kick. I come in with the punch, up, and then I come
up again with the kick. I can go the same side, I can go to the other
side. Now, I can fake like I going to go and throw
a roundhouse kick, but I'm going to try and kick straight away.

I'm going to start with the cross. Okay? And then come up with a kick. Okay? So we speed that one up a bit. We're going to go for the kick, the left roundhouse
kick, up, I punch, up, come up with the kick, and then back down. Okay? So that's just a little rundown on faking
in Muay Thai..
