Sagat Petchyindee Session 3 - Raw Feed Supplement | Muay Thai Library
🕑 Added 2019-09-04 08:04:33 +0000 UTCThis Is a Supplemental Video
This is a raw feed supplement to the Sagat Petchyindee 4 Muay Thai Library session, which we are including because Sagat is an English speaker. This way you can watch the commentary version of the session here, and then if you wish study it listening just to Sagat.
You can also listen to the entire session in audio form as a podcast, in the Library Coffee version.

From my experience, I think the point is not to think about turning your fist at all... Simply by focusing on the hip, shoulder and the punch coming out from the ribcage, your fist will naturally turn slightly... this is what I've found from shadowboxing and bag work that seemed to make the most sense... Hope you get the chance to try it out!

I see you need to draw more energy from your hips and abs when you punch. when you use arm energy you tense up in the arms to lose the snake whipping. For your cross, when you bring the elbow down like sagat says, your arm is still tense in the form you're used to, and thats why like kevin was saying, your punch is curving and not going straight in. I think you need to work on throwing the cross straight from your head to a target that is straight ahead of you without twisting your body, focusing on your two big knuckles connecting perpendicular to the target while still having strong wrist support and elbow down. This would help develop a straight trajectory in your arm form, while forcing you to use energy for the punch from your hips, and not simply with the twist of the body/shoulders. I find the energy for the punch is mostly from the hips, and the leg, body and shoulder twist is simply form to guide the punch. Though one can master the shape of the movement, one can wrongly draw too much energy from different parts of the body that can cause tension, fatigue and injury. The dan tien is where the energy explodes from and travels through the body. Everything must be loose and at ease for the most energy to travel through your body without being blocked.

Awesome video, thank you. I wanted to find out, when Sagat is teaching his punches, do you still turn your fists so it's horizontal or does he only turn the fist by about 45 degrees? I ask this cause sometimes it looks like horizontal and other times 45 degrees.
