Techniques for Body Type (Tall w/ Tree Trunk Legs)


Recommended Posts

I'm curious if there are some techniques I can work on that compliment my body type.  I'm 6'2"+ and ~200lbs and I carry a lot of my weight in my legs.

I absolutely love clinching.  In particular I love a locking style of clinch.  I often find myself with a right over-hook and a left-hand behind the neck.  There's been a lot of great videos in the MTL that I've watched to really help me refine this particular lock.

When I throw my knees, they're less like pointy spears and more like blunt battering rams.  As I've heard Dieselnoi(?) say, being tall means that your kicks are naturally going to be slower, and I definitely feel that with my ham hocks.

Basically in summary, I am interest what techniques my body type lends itself to, especially as it relates to the Muay Khao style.
