DEFLECTING ELBOW AND KNEE STRIKES OF MUAY THAI FIGHTERS

Felling an opponent onto the ground
Besides various types of kicks, Muay Thai fighters use their elbows and knees frequently to strike. These attacks are short-range, but are very powerful, and untrained persons often do not know how to react against these attacks. Blocking them is a grave mistake. A useful defence is to deflect the elbow and knee attacks, then counter-attack accordingly.
