In Muay Thai The Everything Is Thrown With Power And The Cross Punch Is No Exception

This punch is delivered with your rear hand or your strong arm.

Start with a good Muay Thai stance with your rear fist at eyebrow level. Your rear elbow should be out about 3 inches.

Bridge the gap between you and your opponent by stepping forward with the front foot and dragging the rear foot up. The rear foot should now be pointed towards your target and up on the ball and toes with the knee bent.

Rotate the hips and torso anti-clockwise (if you're right handed) and snap the rear shoulder. The rear arm extends towards the target with the elbow down and the wrist torques inwards.

The impact of the fist on the target should be in contact with the front of the knuckles. The usual targets are the nose, chin, and solar plexus.
