10:01 Common Mistakes
Muay Thai is known as the martial art where you kick and defend with your shins.
When we learn to block with our shins, what you’re trying to do is develop the reflex to lift your leg to defend against the kick, rather than blocking it with your arm.
Beginner instinct is often to reach out, or block the kick, with your arm, but this isn’t a good defense strategy, as it leaves your head, a very vulnerable target, open for strikes.
Why is this important?
✔️. Learning to block with your shin keeps your defense tight, and head protected.
Techniques covered:
⚡️. Lead Leg Straight Check
⚡️. Rear Leg Straight Check
⚡️. Lead Leg Cross Check
⚡️. Rear Leg Cross Check
Homework:
Practice these four combinations back to back for a total of a 3 min round. 📈
Combo 1: Jab - Lead Leg Check - Right Knee Counter

Combo 4: Jab - Rear Cross Check - Right Knee Counter
Common Mistakes:
✖️. Don’t drop your hands when checking kicks.
💡. It’s one thing to defend, but the goal is to learn to defend AND counter.

Extremely useful. the emphasis on foot placement and stance, this is extremely helpful, it's what my coach is going over with me right now. Also the addition of combinations to the checks is useful, it's great to have a range of attacks you can build from, after having checked. Really helpful and thanks so much !

Just rewatched Yan v Aldo and that's the first time I've ever seen a cross check. Thanks for the informative video.
