Muay Thai Head Movement Drills – From The Feet!
Manage episode 400103235 series 2299138
Want to get better at slipping punches and angling off attacks? In this video, I break down my go-to combo for drilling evasive head movement - the classic 1-2-3 of jab, cross, hook. The key isn't just bobbing your head, but using footwork and hip rotation to naturally shift your head position as you step into your punch. We start by throwing the 1-2-3 continuous on the spot. Then I show how stepping out diagonally on the hook completely changes the angle and stance. You can go left or right for different looks. I also demonstrate mixing up the rhythm - jab, cross, pause, hook. Other important points I cover: * Maintaining proper high guard throughout the combo * Curving your body and twisting from the hips to move your head * Varying between 'red alert' (hands up) and 'green alert' (hands down) based on range This builds so many vital skills - angles, footwork, head movement, versatile punching, and defence. Take your pad work to the next level and get better at slipping attacks! Let me know if you start working this drill into your training. Comment below the video on Youtube with any questions. Don't forget to like and subscribe so you never miss a video. Let's get to work! Further notes and resources at https://heatrick.com/2024/02/09/muay-thai-head-movement-drills-from-the-feet/
