Elbows are one of the most dangerous weapons in Muay Thai — and developing them on the bag is essential for timing, accuracy and power.
Here, Joe Schilling demonstrates a skill-specific bag work drill to improve spear elbows and uppercut elbows, helping fighters develop sharp, fight-ending strikes.
Schilling is a WBC Muay Thai World Champion and elite kickboxer, known for his devastating elbow strikes — earning the nickname “Stitch ‘Em Up” due to his ability to cut opponents with elbows throughout his career.
The spear elbow is a powerful forward-driving strike capable of covering distance, while uppercut elbows are highly effective at close range and in clinch exchanges.
This drill helps fighters:
• develop timing and accuracy with elbows
• improve close-range striking confidence
• build sharp, fight-ending techniques
• integrate elbows into combinations and bag work
