Straight fist and follow with another trick.

The boxer throws the straight right punch and twists the body by that punch, stepping the right

foot forwards (the boxer must consider about the distance); the target is the chin or the heart of

the opponent. This trick used for attack, defense or escape (if for attack use both left and the

right alternately)

To protect: brushes it with the fist or the arm which in the front,

If the boxer is a right handed, fighter use the left fist or the left arm, to wipe the punch out to the

left side.

To counter: throws the tiptoe to the opponent's abdomen to prevent the punch, if the boxer is a

left handed fighter do opposite.

The straight punch, also known as 'Phaprai Lom Singkhon,' is one of the

heaviest punches in all of Muay Thai. It can be used in attack and defense. If

used properly, it can stop your opponent right in his tracks. However, if used at

the wrong moment it may put a boxer in a difficult situation because if the

punch misses the target the boxer will have wasted a lot of energy and will be

left exposed to a counter attack.

The strength of this punch comes from moving the foot forward and from the

transfer of force from the leg to the moving body and finally to the fist. To

further enhance the power in this punch the boxer must twist his hips, waist,

and shoulder while punching. The result is a very powerful blow that draws

upon (a) the boxer's weight, (b) the muscles of the feet, legs, hips, waist, and

shoulders, and (c) the proper technique in releasing the punch for its

forcefulness.

For a right-handed boxer, the basic stance is with the left foot forward. From

this stance, the left foot slides forward. At the same time, the boxer pushes off

the ball of the right foot, pushing his body forward. Next, the boxer should turn

his hips and right shoulder toward the opponent, twisting the waist

simultaneously. Pivot around the torso, straighten the right arm, and release the

punch. When releasing the punch, the fist can be either at a right angle, open,

or closed, with the arm fully extended and the elbow locked as the target is hit.

To ensure maximum efficiency, the fist must be in a straight line as if punching

through a wall. Maximum power is achieved once the left shoulder is in line

with the hips at the completion of the punch.

Note that the chin should be tucked in at all times, and the head should move

from right to left along with the punch. Do not lower the left arm while

delivering the punch as this will expose the body to counter attack by the

opponent. Do not show in advance, by moving your hand backward, that you

are going to throw a straight punch. After delivering the straight punch the fist

must be returned quickly to the guard up position.

There are also two other versions of the straight punch. First, there is the

straight punch throwing the whole body. This straight punch uses the force of

gravity thrown in the perpendicular plane. The boxer throws himself forward

and the momentum of his falling body is added to the punch making it very

powerful. To practice this punch, start by standing at ease with guards up. Then

move either foot forward and use the rear leg to push the body forward, similar

to falling forward, towards the target. The momentum from this movement is

transferred to the arm and fist, giving the punch its characteristic power.

The other version of the straight punch is the over the shoulder straight punch.

This punch is released by a sudden jerking and twisting of the body. It derives

its power solely from the muscles and is less powerful than the other versions

of the straight punch. It is best used in close fights and emergencies. To

practice this punch, when a punch is thrown with the left hand, the right hand is

automatically jerked backwards. As a result, the muscles of the shoulder, back,

stomach, waist, and the two legs will work together transferring the weight

from one side of the body to the other. This twist of the body prepares one for

an over the shoulder punch with the right hand. This twist should be practiced

so that one is comfortable throwing the over the shoulder punch using the twist

of the body and the corresponding transfer of body weight as the source of the

punch's power.
