Muay Thai sweeping the leg: the deadliest leg method

The leg sweeping of Muay Thai is recognized as the most lethal leg method. Muay Thai belongs to pure hard training. Fighters need to go through long-term, massive kicking sandbags, continuous kicking training, even special training of leg strength with gravity, as well as auxiliary training such as long-distance running and mountaineering running, and attach great importance to leg skills. Therefore, many MMA players also apply the leg training of Muay Thai to their daily lives.

Muay Thai's legs are sharp and fierce, and its combination is changeable. It is the principle that in China culture, kicking an opponent with three-legged combination boxing is more harmful than punching an opponent with three-legged combination boxing, and the lethality of one leg is more than one punch. The application principle of the leg method is to use the pioneer leg to detect or intercept the opponent's pedaling skills as a prelude, and use the hind leg to quickly sweep the opponent's key points according to the arc route.

In Muay Thai, except for pushing forward to control the distance, leg movements are divided into three types: low sweep, middle sweep and high sweep.

Low scanning

Leg method used to attack each other's thighs and calves. Because of the short distance and fast speed, it is usually difficult for opponents to defend in time; However, because there are no important organs in the leg, the low-scanning leg method usually can't achieve the effect of KO. Using low sweep in the match can harass opponents and provide cover for boxing.

If the low sweep is heavy enough, hitting the opponent continuously can also cause quite horrible lethality. For example, Jose Aldo used the low sweep continuously in the match between UFC and Ourea Fibo, which made him unable to stand and walk for a long time after the match. However, this technique should also be wary of the opponent's knees. Anderson silva once kicked his knee while sweeping his opponent, resulting in a broken calf.

Zhongsao

Leg method used to attack the opponent's ribs and liver. Different from the low sweep, people's ribs and liver are relatively fragile parts, even if you kick this part with a slow low sweep, you will feel pain, not to mention the fast and powerful sweep of the legs by the Muay Thai trainer.

Although it is very lethal, it is much more difficult to hit the opponent in the middle sweep than in the low sweep, and the opponent can avoid it by blocking the arm or controlling the distance.

Gaosao

High sweep is a kind of leg method to attack the opponent's head and neck, which requires higher leg ligaments of boxers and good flexibility in kicking. People's head and neck are densely covered with nerves, and they are often attacked in fighting competitions. If you eat a high scan, you are likely to go into shock on the spot. But scanning KO opponents is more difficult than the other two leg skills. Usually, experienced experts complete this technology.
