Kon (strategies) are advanced muaythai techniques used to defend (kon kae) and attack (kon jujom), classified according to the weapon of choice (fists, knees, elbows and feet). Kon are classified as follows:
Kon jujom (attack): 23 strategies
Kon kae tao (feet): 23 strategies
Kon kae kao (knees): 3 strategies
Kon kae matt (punches): 29 strategies
Kon kae sok (elbows): 4 strategies
Together with cherng muay (combinations of all bodily weapons) they represent the plethora of advanced techniques a nak muay has to master before entering the ring. As Thai boxing evolves itself, some of these advanced techniques are now obsolete and hard to see. Some did vanished together with the ajaarn who created and taught them. To analyze in depth the art of muay thai is not the scope of this website, but for those interested in further studies, I recommend this page (you’ll be leaving this site)
