Body kicks are one of the most common and highest scoring weapons in Muay Thai — but if timed correctly, they also create huge opportunities for aggressive boxing counters.
Here, multiple-time Muay Thai world champion and internationally renowned striking coach Damien Trainor demonstrates one effective way to counter the right body kick with 3 aggressive punches, helping fighters pressure opponents immediately after defending or reading the kick.
Assisting in the demonstration is fellow K-Star Legacy coach and Muay Thai fighter Simon Whitehead.
This is a highly practical concept for Muay Thai fighters looking to blend:
boxing pressure
aggressive combinations
fight IQ and timing
into real sparring and competition.
