Muay Thai Guard Position (posizione di guardia muay thai) – Lesson 1 / Muay Thai Tutorial

Muay Thai is the most complete standing fighting technique because it allows attacking not only with punches and kicks but also with elbows and knees, with this course we will make the technique accessible to everyone starting from the basics in a simple and understandable way, we recommend watching each video no later than one week from the previous one to get On the time required to repeat the movements so that they become automatic, during the training you can send videos and messages to the references in the description so that you can receive suggestions and signals .. let's get started! Good vision welcome and then to start the first thing we need to check is the position of the feet these are exactly at shoulder height if we generally use the right hand and then the right the right side will still be a little bit behind so we're going to do a half step forward this way here we're going to go look for a center Heaviness, centering, balance…

Let's see what happens laterally , so half a step forward, not too much, just half a step forward and we'll find balance, as we said, that's the stance we must always maintain with whatever movement we make. Now we start step by step literally see how we have to move .. If we have to move forward, it generally does not happen in everyday life where I put my left foot forward and the right follows, it happens in the opposite direction, that is, in this position , the right leg pushes, And the other leg pushes back and I push forward…if I have to go backwards instead in that case it would be the left he'd push on and I'd push back on him…let's see how that happens from the front so this one pushes and this one lets me out on that side the other, so we are always looking for our must position We always have to keep that pushes this one and the other one follows every time we have to look for central it can happen and now it's automatic for me but the first few times we might take a step too long and in that case what happens? That later on, later on centralization, the important thing is always to look for that balance, and we try that movement a few times..

So we said, going out and in trying to treat the tip of the foot, then we'll see that better later, however, we're starting Already in motion when entering and exiting, exiting, entering … at least if we can't use the front foot, at least we start to keep it always on the toe when we go out and when we go in , it allows us, you see, to be more reactive , we try again, as we have said many times until it becomes automatic, better if it is in front of the mirror then we will see how we move sideways , then we will see how we move back and forth we see the sides .. always looking for our position, this should be just fixation, it is a must. …based on what we said before if I have to go left leg obviously he'll push the right leg ie r I'll get, if I have to go right instead he'll push the left leg then I get this, and I always I'm looking for the position, so we're in this position here, I go left I have to go back, we turn l Again both combinations back and forth, right and left in front of the mirror …

But in real life it is clear that the opponent does not move on the chessboard, so we say that we must always follow him with the left foot, so if he moves at an angle of 45 degrees what happens? That the left foot has to follow him in that position but as we said it's the other leg that pushes so we'll do that and get our position back and obviously I'll come out with the left leg and I'll always look for the position, also on the second half at the start, but we're always looking for this The central position, and we try everything again, and then we add some other upper-body related stuff , and we've seen right how to move with the two feet. Use the legs to get out and get in now let's see how we use the rest of the body and in this case the guard is the best position to allow us to defend ourselves but also to attack because if the guard corrects the attack we will start right if the guard is broken we can't attack in the right way to clarify Baby, unlike boxing where you only expect strikes from the waist up and only with fists, thus you c.

Try to offer as little target as possible here, as in this system strikes can hit the whole body and can also hit kicks, knees, etc. The football is exactly that, because I will put a protection in this way towards the origin of the football.. If I were in a lateral position I would not have the possibility to block it, so.. before I put the goalkeeper we must understand what points we need to protect, the first point we must Its protection is the chin, how do we protect it? From the left side with the shoulder, this hand will appear on the right side with the right hand, and the second point that must be protected is the hips, so it is clear that if this situation is, they will be protected with the elbows. The important thing is when the opponent approaches well and at the same time contracts the abdomen in a way that makes him ready to receive strikes , let's combine what we saw in the first part with this, what do we get? Centering the tips of the toes maybe at least with the back of the foot we put our guard up if we have to go forward we get this if we have to go out we get this we see a side ..

So we always look for the position of our shoulder that protects the right hand to the chin that protects the other side , elbows locked I have to move forward I'm going to push off the right leg so I get this I have to come out with my left leg we don't come out in a sprawling way but always in a closed way if I'm going out with the leg it's not enough because I'm so close because football And so on, in addition to the exit with the foot, I can add movement with the torso, do this, but always in a coordinated way without lowering the arms and obviously without disintegrating in the exit because even if I'm late if I'm well locked up, I'm ready to take a hit, if you leave cautious rather than Than that, the problem is bigger, so this, that.

.. the opponent is moving, that, I have to come back r we try a few times without haste in front of the mirror because that's the basis and then we start a good attack with punches, knees, elbows, kicks and everything … well, we certainly won't have problems, we often see professionals who fight Without a guard they probably drive the whole match and then take one and go to the mat because they don't have the guard so it's enough that they 're stuck on one of the vital points and the story ends… so we try again a few times in front of the mirror don't rush to the next video because This is the foundation and then we put everything after that..

Next one!.
