  • KICKBOXING FOOTWORK UNVEILED - I see so much on footwork at different seminars, but I have never seen Maui Thai footwork correctly explained. It is not the same as boxing or other sports which promote the idea of being on the heels for hitting and the ball of the foot for quick escapes. 
Maui Thai works the idea that you are always striking, kicking, elbowing, and kneeing. To make this happen the foot is used like a wheel which makes it both fast and powerful. So here is how to do that when stepping.

Forward: Land heel-toe and roll down the foot while always pulling up with the foot toward your shin.
Backward: Land toe-heel and roll down the foot while always pulling up with the foot toward your shin.
Moving Side Ways:  
Outside Foot - Land Inside Edge of your foot then roll to the outside.  
Inside Foot: Land Outside Edge of your foot then roll to the inside.

While at first this may seem difficult and slower, long term it creates the best of both worlds and allows you to always be firm on your feet, hit hard, and move fast.
