Muay Thai Basic Stance and Movement: instructional

Learn the basic stance and movement of muay thai with Fightcoach. Check out more at our instructional martial arts platform www.fightcoach.tv!
Basic fighting stance and movement form the foundation for both offensive and defensive movements. The beginning muay thai student should spend ample time working on this vital foundation. Staying light on the feet and relaxing the muscles permits faster execution of movements. The fighter should not cross the feet while moving. Guard should be kept up at all times.
Where should the fighter focus his gaze? The chest area of the opponent is a good starting point, but the fighter should try to keep his peripheral vision active to be able to defend against any attack the opponent might throw.

[@alloverdaplace2043]

this dude is built like an action figure lol

[@FIGHTCOACHTV]

The dude has been doing muay thai since a small kid in Thailand. All those years of jumping rope and training hard combined with good genetics, that's the formula for calves like that 😉

[@Moiez101]

fat is afraid to get on his body. freal

[@bothanjedirogue]

I like the breakdown, simple, no bs

[@FIGHTCOACHTV]

Thanks Richard!

[@bbveggies]

This guy looks so stable

[@FIGHTCOACHTV]

[@nocturnalwolf7559]

Man this dude's legs are SCARY. They could send someone to hospital with a single kick I know it

[@user-unknown4972]

최고다

I am Muay Thai fighter

[@lutfi7221]

Thi is muay thai👍💪

[@almasakic1148]

hi! I like this video, but i just saw another video saying the front leg should be at a 45 degree angle....is this correct or should it be straight??

[@Ruose100]

both correct.

[@kaique9508]

buakaw's calves makes my legs shiver dude, i feel like a kick from those would cut me in half ....

[@johnpace9743]

Kaique Lemos that's not buakaw bro

[@Viper-mi2oh]

I have a question what are the excercises to have a muay Thai body like buakaw and you

[@balqisali3300]

I know nothing about Muay Thai but I’m learning and I heard doing roundhouse kicks on hard surfaces will grow muscles on shins and foot

[@dillonwolcott7655]

​@@balqisali3300I wouldn't do that. We aren't designed to hit really hard stuff. Even the whole Thai fighters kicking trees thing was because banana trees are very soft

[@stevemean6853]

Imagine seeing that coming tower you.😅

[@sahdhap.3182]

Why is his body always looks wet ?

[@FIGHTCOACHTV]

Honestly, it´s just sweat 😀

[@enricograsso5983]

Thai oil+sweating

[@bitchplease5393]
