CROSS-LEFT ROUND KICK-LEFT LOW KICK

หมัดและเตะคู่

The classic Thai triple: a strong cross plants the opponent's weight, the left round kick to the body follows on the exposed side, and before the kicking leg resets a low kick wraps under to chop the lead leg. Over a round, this accumulates significant damage with a simple repeating rhythm. It is the blueprint for how Thais punish a stationary opponent.

KEY POINTS

  • 01Cross must land with authority to freeze the opponent
  • 02Body kick arrives from the same hip rotation as the cross
  • 03Low kick uses a quick switch step or rear-leg variation
  • 04Maintain high guard throughout
  • 05Angle out after the low kick to avoid counters

COMMON MISTAKES

  • ✕Rushing the kicks before the cross has registered
  • ✕Throwing both kicks to the same target
  • ✕Losing balance after the low kick
  • ✕Leaving the lead leg long after the low kick

TRAINING DRILLS

  • →5 rounds on the heavy bag with the full sequence
  • →Pad work with coach rotating body and low positions
  • →Shadow boxing combinations with recovery footwork
