B2: ​8​ - We have analyzed and evaluated the 
effectiveness of a plan based on the outcome. We 
have analyzed and evaluated each section of the 
combination considering many different factors. 
We have thought about: 1)Is this effective for 
actual Muay Thai fight? 2)Is this effective for 
improving our Muay Thai Performance? 3)Is this 
effective for performing? After considering these 
factors, we have explained each reason for each 
movement in the combination why is our 
movement effective. Again, this is also related to

thought about all the factors.  
 
 Also, for contributing to planning Muay Thai 
Performance, we have worked completely

we can get 8 for this assessment.

Planning for Muay Thai Performance

Students names: Eddy and Ah Dut

Music:
● Wai Kru​ - This will be used for our Wai Kru Muay Thai Movement.
● lp Man Theme​: This is a Chinese martial art music and it is not too energetic, therefore
we will use this for the first few combinations since they are not as energetic as the rest.
● Karate​: This is another music for karate, and this is more energetic than the previous
music which we decided to use this song for the combinations that are more energetic
and furious to give the mood to the performance.

Describe how the performance will look like (your GOAL): Our Muay Thai performance will start
with a Wai Kru dance which the boxers show respect to their parents and coaches and this is an
important custom before doing Muay Thai fights, therefore we will also include this dance move
to show respect to the culture of Thailand. After, we will start doing our Muay Thai combinations
and by performing different combinations throughout the performance, we will be able to
improve our Muay Thai skills along the way. Our Muay Thai movement will consist total of 6
combinations from basic movements to complex movements and our movements of
combinations should be entertaining and enjoyable for the audience to watch. Because of this,
our combinations will start with low power which is less powerful and energetic and as the
combinations keep goes on and continues, the movement will become furious and explosive
which uses high power and will be more powerful and energetic than the previous combinations.
Last two combinations will be the climax and highlight of all the movements with the most
powerful and active movement. After 1 minute of Wai Kru Muay Thai Movement, each of the
combinations are estimated to be around 10 seconds since some of them are more simpler than
others, we might go over 3 minutes depending on the time it takes to perform our combinations
for our final video.

https://youtu.be/R5Ju 0:27 - In prior to the Muay Thai
xcvYg9Y 1:40 combinations, we will do Wai Kru
movements to show the boxers’
regard and gratitude for their
parents and coaches who have
taught them which brings their
mind calm and mindful. Wai Kru
movement starts with praying and
this is the most important part of
the whole movement. First, we will
have to stand up and clench both
the fists and place and put the fist
to each other. Both fists should be
touching next to each other and
these fists should be placed in the
level about the nose. After, you
need to close your eyes and do
short meditation for about two
seconds. Next, we have to “wai”
which is putting both palms of
hands next to each other by
touching and placing in the level
about the nose and we do same
from previous movement which is
closing eyes and doing short
meditation for about two seconds
showing respect to parents and
coaches. Then, we will bend our
knees from left to right and wai
again for about two seconds and
after doing wai, put hand palms on
the floor from left to right and bend
over to put your head to the
ground which is doing a full bow.
We will repeat the full bow two
more times. After the full bow, we
should make our arms wide and
move our arms from outside to
inside two times, one in a big circle
and another smaller and clench
your first again and place each

seconds, we should change to wai
position in the chest. While the wai
In order to link with the
next movement, the
next movement is the
start of the actual Muay
Thai combination,
therefore since we
have to stand up while
doing these
combinations, we need
to stand up quickly and
be ready to start the
combinations. Also,
one person should take
off the glove and hold
the pad for other

doing the combinations
and demonstrating
skills, therefore this
should also be done in
a short period of time.
However, since the

 position was vertical, you should
change the hand position to
horizontal and place each hands
touch together, one hand on top of
the other hand and goes up to the
head in a round shape and comes
down. After, we should come back
to wai position again and repeat
this step twice. This movement
doesn’t have any effectiveness to
improve the Muay Thai skills since
this doesn’t require any skills or
techniques related to Muay Thai,
however by doing this movement,
we are following the rituals and
traditions of the actual Muay Thai
which shows regard and gratitude
for their parents and coaches who
have taught them which brings
their mind calm and mindful and it
also shows that we are respecting
Thai culture as well.

punching, our arms should also be
straight. For the hook, it is also a
type of punch, therefore you need
to hit the pod, however since this is
not a straight punch, your arms are
not straight, but it does have a
shape of a hook shape and is
rotated around the opponent’s
body. We start hook using the right
arm first and normally we put the
pods around the waist level and hit
the pod under using the hook and
we repeat this process with left
arm as well. Hook is also one of
the most basic and common
movement used in Muay Thai
fights. Lastly, we will do kicks and
the kick which requires less energy
to make is less energetic and
powerful is low kick since we kick
the lowest position. In order to do
low kick, we should place the pods
around the leg and starting from
right side, we have to kick the pod
using the instep of a foot and we
should make sure to kick low since
it is a low kick. We also repeat this
with left leg. After, we repeat the
whole combination again with
different directions for hooks and
low kicks. Punches, especially
straight punches are effective in
Muay Thai since it travels the
furthest among all the punches and
since it goes ​furthest away from
the opponent, the distance is
combined with the ability to put
weight and rotational power behind
the punch, which means the ​cross
can be one of the most powerful
punches​. Therefore, it can also be
used to scare the opponent. Jabs
are effective since it can be used
for both attack and defence
purposes. For defense purposes, it
can counter an aggressive fighter
who keeps coming forward,
applying pressure and tries to
reduce the space and gap and
used to set up other combinations
and help a fighter to gauge
distances. While hooks are
effective, since it is a very difficult
technique to do and if you do the
technique wrong, it will result in
lack pain, lack of power, and
broken wrist, therefore it ​requires
lots of training, therefore in order to
be able to do the kick, we must
watch youtube videos, and practice
the movement many times and this
will improve our Muay Thai skills.

we kick, one of our legs will be
lined up in a horizontal position
with our hip, and if we can not
keep our body in balance, we will
not be able to perform the kick and
miss the attack, that might give the
chance to the opponent to attack,
therefore we need to practice to
balance our body when we do the
kick and using correct footworks,
which is all depending on our
trainings, which will improve our
skills.

practicing this movement, we will

but also attacking while defending
at the same time. Therefore the
effectiveness of this specific
combination is pretty high in terms
of improving our Muay Thai skills.

order to be successfully perform this
movement, we must have a very
fast speed, so the opponent will not
have time to defence as well as
attacking in return. The last
movement of this combination is
high kick, which means we are
kicking really high, unlike low kick
and roundhouse kick when we are
doing high kicks, we want to aim for
the opponent’s head, if people are
right handed, they will use their right
leg to perform the high kick, if
people are left handed, they will be
using their left legs, during this kick,
one thing to pay attention is the
balance of the body when kicking a
high kick, since it is really up high in
the air, if you don’t have a good
standing position, you might lose
your balance of your body, and fell
on the ground, or the opponent
might attack you back, therefore it is
also very important to keep
balanced while performing the high
kick, this movement also require a
good agility of movement since it’s
really challenging and we need to
keep balanced, we want to kick it as
fast and as hard as we can so we
can get back to the standing
position as soon as we kick the
opponent’s upper body, by doing
so, it will prevent us from getting
attacked.Chest kicks, also known as
knees are effective during Muay
Thai fight since it is capable of
striking and kicking from many
different directions. For example, it
can be directed in a diagonally
circular, diagonally linear,
horizontally circular, horizontally
linear, vertically downwards, or
vertically upwards fashion. Because
of this, while kicking is effective in
Muay Thai, since the opponent
cannot predict the direction that we
will do chest kick since we can kick
from many different directions, this
highers the chance of succeeding to
attack the opponent by using this
chest kick. Also, high kicks are
effective since it is an extremely
challenging movement to perform
as well as learning and practicing,
this matches the goal and increase
the quality of the performance, and
by adding these new movements it
makes our performance more
furious and exciting to watch.
Because this movement is more
challenging, ​it is a very difficult
 technique to do, therefore it ​requires
lots of training, therefore in order to
be able to do the kick, we must
watch youtube videos, and practice
the movement many times and this
will improve our skills.

movement. Since the roundhouse

include something challenging for
this last combination, we decided
right after the high kick, we will turn
our body 360 degree and then use
the other leg to perform another
back high kick which is very
challenging to do, right after we
finishing the back high kick, we will
get back to the standing position.
Last but not least, we will finish this
combination with a high jump kick
where one person will take a few
steps back, then run up to the
opponent and jump and kick on
their chest to defeat them. This
combination is definitely effective in
terms of improving our Muay Thai
skills as well as raising the mood
and the atmosphere of the
 performance. Because in this last
combination we’ve included some
prior techniques from previous
combinations, as well as inserting
new ideas and techniques and
movements to the combination, for
example the high kick, back high
kick and jump high kick are
extremely challenging to perform as
well as learning and practicing, and
it is a much more dangerous
movement than the previous ones;
however we still included in the
video to match with our goal which
to increase the intensity of the
performance, and by adding these
new movements it makes our
performance more furious and
exciting to watch. We also added
blocking technique in the
combination which is also
effectively improving our Muay Thai
skills, by learning how to block we
are able to block any kinds of kicks,
therefore it is really beneficial, and
by practicing the block will hugely
improve our Muay Thai skills
furthermore.
