Muay Pram basics n.3

Muay Pram basics n.3 IMBA Muay Pram basic skills are built upon mastery of 27 Energy Principles of Thai Wrestling that are applied in combat through the use of several holds and grips. Trainees are first taught how to get hold of the opponent’s neck (no matter his size) and manipulate it in order to strike or throw. Once the trainee has learned the basic neck Clinch (Chap Ko) positions, he must start to acquire the strategic knowledge needed to apply the holds in real combat situations. A strong Muay Pram grappler (Nak Muay Pram) must be able to effectively apply a series of maneuvers to bring the fight where he wants it to be. The crucial element is the distance that separates the Nak Muay Pram from the opponent, when the fight breaks out. This gap must be closed quickly and efficiently with minimal damage to the Muay Pram fighter. For an in-depth analysis of IMBA Muay Pram’s basics: #fundamentals #guide What The fundamental Chap Ko combat strategy deals with entering the neck Clinch. A series of effective techniques to close the gap, grab the opponent’s neck and hit with knees, elbows and head must be thoroughly learned at this initial stage. In the video shown here, the grappler catches a roundhouse body kick and manages to get hold of the opponent’s neck in order to hit with straight knees. How In the sequence shown here, as the opponent attacks with a full power roundhouse kick aimed at the ribcage, the grappler takes a short backward step in order to absorb the blow and seizes the attacking leg. Letting go of the leg he quickly gets hold of the opponent’s neck. He uses the neck holds to counter with power knee strikes aimed at the attacker’s body. Step 1: the grappler takes a short diagonal backward step to absorb the opponent’s swing body kick and seizes the attacking leg. The rear elbow covers the face for extra protection. Step 2: the grappler lets go of the opponent’s leg and counterattacks immediately with a knee strike aimed at the opponent’s abdomen. Step 3: the grappler switches his arms’ position and applies a double neck tie squeezing the opponent’s neck with both forearms. Step 4: the grappler jerks the opponent’s head down and throws a straight knee to the solar plexus.
