Mae Mai Muay Thai - Erawan Soei Nga
The name of Mae Mai Muay Thai describes the action of when a mythical elephant swing up its ivory to attack. Compare to the action when boxer use upper-cut elbow strike to attack.
Erawan Soei Nga is the technique is used to respond punch attack. The picture illustrates when the attacker perform straight punch to the defensive. Then the defensive raise the left arm to protect the punch, in the same time one step forward to be close to the attacker and respond by upper-cut elbow strike. We will not see this technique use in the professional Muay Thai competition (we usually see Sork Klab (reversed elbow strike). However, this technique is very effective for Muay Thai for martial arts.
