How to Throw a Left Cross Elbow | Muay Thai Fundamentals

The left cross elbow is a horizontal elbow strike used at close range in Muay Thai. Execution begins from a stable fighting stance with a small step forward from the lead foot to close distance. The elbow then travels across the centerline in a tight horizontal motion while the body rotates to generate controlled impact. Maintaining the rear hand high protects against counters during the strike. In this lesson, Kru Jack demonstrates the correct mechanics and also shows how to practice the left cross elbow effectively on pads.
