When an opponent is constantly moving forward, throwing punches and closing the distance, sometimes the best defensive option is to move towards them rather than retreat. In this Muay Thai technique breakdown, I work with professional Muay Thai fighter Ryan Moore to demonstrate how to slip a punch, crash inside and smother an opponent's attacks. Using Superbon's defensive tactics against Marat Grigorian as an example, we break down the mechanics of changing levels, slipping underneath punches and closing the distance to prevent an aggressive puncher from continuing their attack. We then put the technique into practice through live situational drilling, with one fighter applying forward pressure and the other looking to defend, manage distance and find opportunities to crash in and smother. This is an important defensive skill for dealing with aggressive boxers and pressure fighters, particularly when you're being backed towards the ropes or cage and don't have the space to keep retreating. These principles apply across Muay Thai, kickboxing, boxing and MMA.
