WATCH: British legend Liam Harrison breaks down how to land a perfectly timed elbow KO shot inside the pocket

Decorated striker Liam Harrison is a living, breathing encyclopedia when it comes to the science of striking, and he is always happy to share what he knows through social media.

Taking to Instagram, the British Muay Thai cornerstone explained and demonstrated how to land lead elbow strikes easily:

"It's difficult to land an elbow in a fight, so timing is very, very important. First one, I'm gonna go one-two, throw an elbow straight up through the middle, yeah? Your front leg does the work. You're just stepping in straight up through the middle."

He continued:

"Elbow straight up or one-two and then chopping elbow straight down, down like a slashing chop with the elbow. What you want to be looking for...his front leg is probably gonna step forward to try and shut the range down... I can step in at the same time and beat it there. "

Harrison's proficiency in landing the lead elbow strike is a key ingredient in his status as one of the greatest non-Thai athletes to have ever competed in Muay Thai.
