Muay Thai Elbows: Basics, Hand Traps, Setups and Counter Techniques! 

In this video we break down using the Muay Thai elbows.
Basics: Focusing on basic footwork to close the distance to land the elbows from the Jab Cross and the Double Jab.
Setups and Hand Traps: Here we wanted to focus on the use of Hand Traps to land the elbows instead of trying to just throw them blindly. The feeling of controlling an opponents hands/guard and manipulating them in order to connect. We also taught flashy techniques like SPINNING BACK ELBOW and the JUMPING DOWN ELBOW but reiterating that techniques like this are HIGH RISK/HIGH REWARD and should be thrown with caution.
Elbows as COUNTER-ATTACKS: First usage of elbows as a counter technique against a forward aggressive puncher(Muay Mat). We used the lead UP ELBOW to counter an opponent that likes to throw looping punches like the lead check hook. TIMING is key to land this counter as it needs to be thrown at the same time as the check hook to intercept the looping shot.
Second we used the counter of catching the kick and pulling the opponent into the elbow to close the distance and punish the fighter that favors using long Round Kicks (Muay Tae). With this Counter you need to accept that you will eat the kick in order to catch your opponents leg. Securing the leg is key and patience to make sure you have control of the leg in order to pull them into closer range to land the big elbows to discourage your opponent from spamming round kicks.
