Combinations must be practiced repeatedly, because in a
ght situation there is no time to think about the
appropriate technique or how techniques can be
combined. Only the techniques and combinations that you
have frequently trained in and that you are able to use
instinctively can be used in a fight.
Professional athletes also train in combinations to set
up a pattern of action for a competition. A selection of
combinations is made once the opponent is known and
that person’s strong and weak points have been analyzed.
The following section introduces combinations that
Thai boxers Nonsai, Kem, and Saiyok often include in
their training. You can practice these combinations at
your club or in solo training. It is best to do one or two
sequences in the course of a round in training. Nonsai
and Kem ght in the conventional stance and Saiyok in
the southpaw stance. If you ght with a stance opposite to
what’s shown in the images, you should reverse left and
right in the instructions.
