How To Do A Muay Thai Kickboxing 1-2-3 Roundhouse Kick Combination
Kickboxing Columbia students learn new muay thai kickboxing techniques every day. Of course the students want to learn the cool looking advanced muay thai kickboxing techniques first, but they have to understand that the basic techniques works just as well if not better. Kickboxing Columbia students who understand why the basics are so important will have better success progressing in muay thai kickboxing. The following is a very high percentage combination that is used very often in Muay Thai. The combination is called the 1-2-3 roundhouse kick combination.
1. Get in your fight stance. Stand with your left foot forward, pointing at your opponent and your right foot back at a 45 degree angle (relative to your front foot). Your feet are shoulder width apart and knees slightly bent. Your right hand should be next to your tucked chin for protection with your left hand slightly in front and your chin should always be down. (Note: This is for right handed fighters. For left handed fighters, reverse sides.)
2. Throw a jab (1). Extend your left hand straight at your opponent while keeping your elbow in and your fist clenched with thumb pointing down. (Note: If the fist is not properly clenched, it may result in broken fingers and/or knuckles.)
3. Throw a cross (2). When throwing a cross you need to pivot on your right foot so that your body rotates and you are able to fire a straight punch from the hips. (Note: When throwing a cross, keep your elbows in.)
4. Throw a hook (3). Elevate your slightly bent left elbow and turn clockwise, as you bring your right hand back to your chin. Make sure your fist does not pass your body’s center line. Your back foot stays planted while bearing the majority of your weight and the ball of your front foot rotates in the same direction. (Note: The power of this punch does not come from your arm; it comes from the rotation of your hips.)
5. The roundhouse kick. Step your front foot out at a 45 degree angle and rotate your hips counter-clockwise. Kick your opponent at an upward diagonal angle. Whenever you throw a roundhouse kick it is important to shield or protect your face and head with your left hand.
The moves will seem simple when you are shadowboxing or hitting the heavy bag. The students who spar at kickboxing Columbia know that combination is much harder to pull off. When they spar the 1-2-3 roundhouse kick combination has to be about precision and timing to land each strike.
