The fighting stance is crucial to maintain proper balance during Muay Thai, and a good stance will help you protect yourself from blows while delivering the strongest hits you can to your opponent. Flexibility is important in a good fighting stance, so make sure you've properly warmed up before you begin. Spread your feet between hip-width and shoulder-width apart with your knees slightly bent. Keep your more-dextrous/dominant foot slightly behind you so you have more momentum when you kick with that foot. Tense up your abdominal muscles a little bit (but not too much). You don't want your abs so tense that it inhibits your breathing or movement, but you'll want to have some tension there in case your opponent hits you in the stomach. Keep your dominant hand's fist guarding your face but poised to strike, and hold your non-dominant hand's fist out slightly ahead of you at about the height of your nose. Tuck your chin down towards your collarbone and keep it there. This will help protect you somewhat from a broken nose or black eye. Move around, and try to change up the rhythm/cadence of your movements periodically. The goal is to make sure your opponent can't predict how you'll move next. If you've never had any boxing/fighting experience, you may not know how to properly throw a punch. Good form is necessary, as a sloppy punch could end up hurting you very badly. A well-executed punch should move from the shoulder all the way to the fist as it makes contact. Keep a loose fist, but let your hand and arm slightly relax when you're not yet punching. Try to keep your shoulders loose as well. When you go in for the strike, tighten up your fist. Make sure your thumb is not wrapped up in your other fingers, or it will likely break when you strike. Exhale sharply as you initiate a punch and rotate your torso, such that all of your upper body is moving behind your fist. If you're hitting straight on at your opponent, rotate your fist so that it strikes with your knuckles horizontal in relation to your opponent's body (they should be parallel to the floor). If you're going for a side hook, though, it's okay to keep your knuckles vertical. Don't overextend your punch, and don't leave yourself open to a counter attack. Withdraw your arm back immediately after you've made contact on the punch to either block an attack or prepare for your next hit. Roundhouse kicks are an important part of Muay Thai. The fists, knees, and feet are all utilized during combat, so it's important that you work every relevant muscle group and practice your hits extensively. Shift your weight to the foot that will remain planted on the ground. Step out at a roughly 45-degree angle as you prepare to initiate the kick, and use your more dextrous foot for the actual maneuver. Turn into your target so that you have more inertia behind your kick. Angle your shoulder so that it adds additional protection to your face. The last thing you want is for your opponent to get an easy head shot in while you're trying to execute a move.
