Few fighters inspired fear in his competitors and elation in the crowd like Yodkhunpon, the Great Elbow Hunter of 100 stitches. Yodkhunpon was one of the best fighters of the Golden Age of Muay Thai, having held championships in Thailand's two most prestigious stadiums simultaneously. Few fighters have possessed such a simultaneously brutal and elegant style. Yodkhunpon was the living incarnation of relentless pressure, blending advanced, creative tactics with untamed ferocity.

Today we’re lucky enough to get direct access to his knowledge, as he continues to teach a new generation of warriors in Thailand. So without further ado, let's take an in depth look at exactly how the Elbow Hunter caught his prey, breaking down his techniques and strategies, analyzing his strikes and clinch work, and breaking down what made him such an exceptional fighter.

One major thing your missing on how he caught the kicks, is where the thumb points. By pointing your thunb up, it makes the bones in your arm dig into the muscle in their leg, and hurts like a son of a bitch. That's how he's moving them. It is a pain compliance technique. The more you fight it, the more it hurts. Have someone try it on you, and you'll know exactly what I am talking about. Have them catch your kick, and then they point their thumb up while it's caught.

@bend.6091 10 ай бұрын

The old style of muay thai also used head as a weapon, but it was eliminated to make it sports. The word many Western Muay thai students/websites said Muay thai is "Nawa-Avudh" and you transled it as "The Art of 8 Limbs". That's it. Actaully the word "Nawa-Avudh" does not means 8 weapons. It means 9 including the head. The words are from Pali, an old Indian language used a lot by Thai esp. in Buddhism (If you have any chances listen to a Thai monk chants, that's it. Most of what they chants are in Pali) In Pali Avudh means weapons. Now Nawa -- is not 8 but 9. In Pali 1 = Ake, ae-ka 2 = Toe, twi 3 = tri, trai 4 = Chatu, Chatta 5 = Benja, panja 6 = Cha 7 = Satta 8 =Atta 9 =Nawa 10 = Tos.
