Muay Thai/MMA Striking Combo: Double Kick – Knee – Elbow

This Muay Thai/MMA striking combination utilizes both the body´s natural movement of alternating attacks from opposing sides (e.g. left-right-left-right…), as well as the surprise element of two consecutive strikes from the same side.

The combo starts with two fast kicks with the power leg. Often, the second kick comes as a surprise to the opponent and has a good possibility of going through the guard. Therefore, a fighter can put more power to the second kick. After the two kicks, a hard knee is executed from the opposite side. The combo is finalized by a cutting elbow that creates yet another angle of attack, traversing diagonally over the guard of the opponent. This is an efficient and realistic combination but makes also for a great physical conditioning drill, as the whole body is put to work.
