What

Muay Chaiya fighters are trained to use every body part to attack sensitive spots of the opponent’s anatomy. The hammer punch is a destructive hand attack when properly executed.

Why

When a Muay Chaiya stylist jumps and hammers down with his closed fist at the opponent’s crown, he can inflict serious damage. This technique is definitely a knock-out blow.

How

Against a head punch, the Chaiya boxer parries the attack and, using the opponent’s arm as a support, jumps up and delivers a forceful hammer punch to the crown, from an unpredictable position.
