ONE bantamweight Muay Thai standout Liam Harrison is not just a cerebral brawler, he is also a master of subtle attacks. His slight tweaks to age-old Muay Thai techniques have proven effective not just in training but in actual battle.

One of his favorite strikes is a kick-punch combination that mechanically looks like a Superman punch. Instead of just raising his knee, Liam Harrison throws a feint kick and then uses the momentum to swing it back and throw a straight punch. It's very effective as it masterfully misdirects the opponent's attention away from the punch.

Here's a video of the combination as posted by ONE Championship:

"Tried and true 🥊 @liambadco"

Better start training this move in the gym now as you may catch your training partners like 'The Hitman' catching his foes. You can even do his little celebration after you knock your teammate down. Just make sure you don't hurt them badly. Always train safe.


Liam Harrison teaches his subtle tricks and sneaky techniques in home gym in Leeds, England

Liam Harrison might have a really bright future as a Muay Thai trainer after he decides to retire from the sport. This is quite evident in the videos of the large classes he conducts at his gym in Leeds, England. Harrison shares some subtle tricks that elevate his techniques above basic fundamental movesets.

In a recent video posted on Harrison's Instagram account, he was seen teaching a slick way of landing a switch-kick to the body.

Here's the video:

At this point in the thousands of years that Muay Thai has been around, it's hard to see any new innovations being done to it. All the moves, principles, and theories have been explored and expounded upon by its many masters and champions over the years.

Still, modern-day warriors like Liam Harrison valiantly try to push the envelope and add more tweaks and subtleties to Muay Thai's age-old techniques. In his video above, Harrison's wily combination of an effective smoke screen followed by a well-timed delay makes the kick near-impossible to prepare for. 'The Hitman' is as cerebral as they come when it comes to his attacks. Look to see him apply his intelligent aggression once he steps inside the ONE Championship Circle again.
