Muay Thai Fighters Protection Techniques

Posted by ploykun on February 19th, 2021

Muay Thai is one of the most popular martial arts in Thailand. It is not only the national sport but a way of life for many people and is very popular among Thais. They train very hard to be the best fighter in the world, but are they allowed to fight like มวย โลก  it is?

In Muay Thai, there are three main areas of emphasis: submission fighting, stand up fighting, and freestyle fighting. Muay Thai fighters are allowed to submit their opponents, but not until they have been properly trained. Submission fighters are also allowed to throw their opponents legs out from underneath them, but they are not allowed to execute a kick or elbow strike until they have been properly trained. These are the only three areas of focus within the sport known as muay Thai.

When a fighter executes a technique in a muaythai contest, his opponent is generally permitted to strike him at will. This allows the Muay Thai fighter to counter with his own techniques, but if they are struck they must break loose of their own stance or risk being attacked themselves. If they attempt to strike their opponent, they may strike their shin on the floor. The shin is considered to be a deadly weapon in muaythai due to the fact that it is the only part of the body that is hard and able to hurt an opponent when they are thrown. The referee will count two points if the shin of their competitor is touched while they are throwing.

Many fighters compete in Muay Thai without any shin pads or elbow pads at all. However, all fighters are required by law to wear proper protective clothing including a helmet, shin guards, elbow pads, and mouth guards. If you intend to train in this sport, it is necessary to know the laws before participating. While most matches do not call for protective clothing, it can be a good idea to have a few pairs of elbow pads and shin guards in case of an accident.

Another way to protect yourself in a muay Thai match is to wear a proper gi. A proper gi will cover the entire body and come down over the shoulders. It should be made from heavy duty fabric and have several straps to ensure that it does not fall off during a fight. Typically the fighter will raise their leg high and extend their arms and wrists before executing a technique, but no strikes are allowed to the groin or arm pit of opponents when this occurs.

There are many Muay Thai fighters who have videos and images of them in the ring on their Facebook pages. These pictures can sometimes be quite graphic, and not everyone chooses to share them. One way that you can get these types of images is to source them from reliable media such as the Wikipedia and the Muay Thai Forums. Many of these fighters also have online profiles which provide more information about them such as where they are from, their education, where they currently are in life, and also what sports they are involved in. It is important to remember that while most Muay Thai fighters are male, the sport is open to women if they wish to compete.
