I'm starting a new feature of the Patreon offering. Aside from the more-than-once-a-month regular Muay Thai Library entries, I'm adding bonus sessions to everyone pledging the suggested $5 pledge or more. This is the first of these sessions. 

I don't really want to turn the Library into a Karuhat channel, so extra sessions with Karuhat who I'm working with a lot, will be bonus sessions, as will other sessions with Kru which might not quite measure up to Muay Thai Library standards (usually due to organization). These are great sessions in their own right, with lots to learn.  There won't be a full description written, but there is voice over. 

In this particular session we are building off Karuhat's work to move me to Southpaw. That session video, where he actually gradually installs the switch is not yet published in the Library, so this is kind of jumping ahead. But this is  really advanced material, describing the framework of what Karuhat's fighting style was all about. Hope you enjoy. 

1. Side to side clinch attacks from the outside position to avoid stagnation.

2. Constant switching and pivots to relieve pressure and attack the open side.


If you want to see what this is about I urge you to watch his fights  where he uses this footwork to devastating effect.

 TIP BOX if you want to show your appreciation you can send gratuity directly to Kru Karuhat, $5 or more via PayPal to the address sylvie@8limbs.us, please in the "add a note" section specify "for Kru Karuhat".  I will transfer the funds.  Go to PayPal now.

Could you explain what you mean by "open side" a bit more? I think maybe I missed something early in the video.

Hi Liam, it's the belly-side of your opponent. So, if someone is standing Orthodox (right handed) and you are facing them, their open side is toward your left/front side. If you step outside of someone's jab, for example, you're moving into their "closed" side, which is great because it's a blind spot, but you're only going to be landing shots to their back. The belly is a great target because that's the best bet for hurting, winding, or knocking someone out, so that's called the "open" side - whichever way the belly is facing, that's the side you want to be striking.

Great videos! Great job. Keep them coming. Just one thing: is there a way to search the posts, using keywords or names of trainers or whatever? Any more effective way than having to browse through all posts?
