The Standard Elbow Block drops the elbow to meet an incoming body strike or low kick, using the point of the elbow and the forearm to create a hard surface that blocks and punishes the attack. [1] The block is executed by tucking the elbow tight to the body and angling the forearm downward, presenting the hardest part of the elbow directly in the path of the incoming strike. [1],[2] Against kicks, the elbow block can cause significant damage to the attacker's shin, sometimes leading to injury that ends the fight. [2],[3]
История и происхождение
The standard elbow block has been used in Muay Thai for centuries as a primary defence against body kicks and punches, valued for both its defensive and destructive properties. [1] Anderson Silva's use of elbow blocks against kicks in the UFC demonstrated the technique's effectiveness in MMA. [2],[3]

Эффективность
The elbow block in Muay Thai serves a dual purpose: it defends against body kicks and punches while potentially damaging the attacker's striking limb on impact with the hard point of the elbow. [1] Fighters who consistently use elbow blocks can deter opponents from attacking the body, as the risk of hand or foot injury against the elbow is significant. [2]
Родословная
The elbow block is a signature Muay Thai defensive technique, integral to the art's emphasis on using the body's hardest points (elbows, knees, shins) for both offence and defence. [1]

Биомеханический механизм
Primary Action — Intercepting an incoming strike using a rigid arm, forearm, or shin structure to absorb or redirect force
Joints Involved — Forearm and elbow (primary blocking surface), shoulder (positioning), core (absorbing residual force)
Force Vector — Perpendicular to the incoming strike — meeting the attack at an angle dissipates force across the blocking surface
Defensive Mechanic — Hard blocks absorb impact directly; soft blocks redirect the strike's trajectory away from the target
Позиция и вход
From fighting stance — Maintain guard position, raise the forearm or shin to intercept the incoming strike before it reaches the target
As reactive defence — When the attack is detected, move the blocking limb into the strike's path to absorb or deflect the force
Варианты
High block — forearm raised above the head to protect against overhead strikes
Low block — forearm driven downward to deflect kicks or body strikes
Cross block — forearm crosses the body to protect the opposite side
Double forearm block — both forearms together for maximum coverage

✓From your fighting guard, drop the elbow on the targeted side to cover the ribs
✓The elbow presses tight against the ribcage — your forearm covers the liver/floating rib area
✓Tighten your obliques and abs on the blocking side to brace for impact
✓Turn your torso slightly toward the strike — this angles the blocking surface to deflect force
✓Your opposite hand stays at chin level protecting the head
✓After the block, immediately return the elbow to guard position and counter with the opposite hand
✓Drill by having a partner throw light body hooks while you elbow block and counter — develop the timing
Типичные ошибки
!Dropping the elbow but leaving a gap between the elbow and the ribs — the elbow must be TIGHT against the body
!Lowering the chin-level hand to help block the body — one hand blocks, one hand guards the head
!Not bracing the core — the abdominal muscles are part of the block structure
!Turning the body too much and exposing the back — a slight turn (15-20°) is sufficient
!Blocking but not countering — the opponent's arm is committed; fire back immediately
!Keeping the elbow dropped after the block — return to guard position instantly
!Using the elbow block against kicks to the thigh — for low kicks, use the shin check

How does the elbow block compare to just slipping punches?
The elbow block diverts incoming strikes and gives you more time to set up counter techniques, rather than simply slipping the punch and reacting immediately.
What's a good follow-up combination after using an elbow block?
