Creative Training with Kru Apple at Santai Gym
#1. Kicking Exercise – Kru Apple using a hand wrap to tie the student’s hand to his forehead, so that the student can practice keeping his hand up in guard position while kicking. This helps with improving, and gaining good technique.

#2. Kru Apple using a glove stuck to the end of the teaching stick, and uses it to jab the student while he push kicks. This improves defense while push kicking. While push kicking, you must be slightly leaned back in order to avoid punches from the opponent.

Muay Thai Kick Footwork :
In this video, Kru Phon is helping Steve (UK) with his footwork while kicking. Steve has started training at Santai 3 days ago and this is his first time doing Muay Thai. He already knows how to kick but needs to learn more footwork and recovering back into his stance after kicking, and keeping his hands up. Kru Phon fixes him while he hits the bag with the helpful use of Phon’s teaching stick.
