The long guard can be countered easily by targeting areas under the guard. It is therefore critical to utilize it correctly and minimize any mistakes.

12. Head Movement Defence
Part 1: Introduction To Head Movement Defence

Good defensive head movement increases the chances of the opponent over-extending their strikes and losing their balance at the same time. This window allows you to counter. Unlike other forms of defense where you will be absorbing some damage from strikes, this technique is focused on evasion and avoids damage.
Using a single strike for the counter is optimal as you want to execute it as quickly and efficiently as possible. This is an advanced technique that will sometimes compromise balance and your guard will be more open to attack. Therefore it is very important to learn the correct technique with step-by-step instructions, and also how and when to use it in different scenarios, together with common mistakes in execution.

Muay Khao fighters are strong in the clinch and their main weapons are elbows and knees. Similar to Muay Mat, they walk down their opponent and apply forward pressure constantly as elbows and knees are short-range weapons. They thus have to close the distance for it to work. Instead of engaging them in the clinch, Muay Mat fighters have to use angles to step out of the clinch zone, attacking their body and legs to slow them down.
In this chapter, we will learn strategies that a Muay Mat fighter uses to go against a Muay Khao. We will showcase attack strategies with combinations, and also how to defend efficiently and counter with accuracy.
In cases where they get caught up in a clinch, Muay Mat fighters commonly use various sweep techniques to send them to the ground, breaking their rhythm and timing and also depleting their stamina.

Muay Femur are well-known for their intelligence in ring craft, their footwork, and their long-range kicks.

We will cover how you can achieve this in this chapter with various forms of offensive combination strategies.
The most common weapons that a Muay Femur uses are the push kick and roundhouse kick. In this chapter, you will learn how to defend against them with various combinations and to counter with offensive combinations.
