Guard

Muay Thai

High, wide guard that covers elbows and knees; introduces the long guard.

What coaches agree on

  • Extend your lead arm out into a long guard to control distance and stop opponents closing in on you.
  • Keep your guard hand up near your eyebrow with the elbow tucked in against your ribs, not flared out.

  • Tuck your chin down behind your shoulder so any shot that gets through lands on your forehead, not your jaw.

Coach's take: Good drills, but you're learning this by watching a guard get picked apart, not by being taught how to hold one.
