WATCH: Liam Harrison demonstrates effective counter against the push kick

ONE bantamweight Muay Thai brawler Liam Harrison is one of the most deceptively cerebral fighters today. Most people would assume that 'The Hitman' is just a brawling striker with a penchant for wild exchanges.

There's an intricate method to the fighting Brit's madness and it's very evident in his tutorial videos on Instagram.

Liam Harrison employs a lot of subtle tweaks to basic Muay Thai techniques and makes a huge difference when fight night comes. In one of his latest short tutorial videos, 'The Hitman' meticulously demonstrates his unique counter to the push kick.

Here's the video:

"Nice way to mangle someone’s thigh after catching the teep."

With most Muay Thai practitioners, the usual counter once you catch a teep (push) kick is to swing it inside to off-balance your opponent and land a counter shot. What Liam Harrison does differently is he swings the leg outward, which gives him so much space to counter with his legendary low kick.

The technique favors low-kickers like Harrison, who has made a name for himself by chopping down the legs of his opponents. It’s time for you to try this technique in the gym. But remember, always train safe.

Liam Harrison demonstrates how to land a powerful low kick in Muay Thai

Speaking of his legendary low kick, Liam Harrison has shared so many tips on how to land it cleanly and with devastating effect,

In another Instagram video, Harrison explained how to perfectly time a lightning-fast leg kick and land it with crushing effect. As it turns out, 'The Hitman' keeps a keen eye on the weight distribution of his opponent's stance.

He uses a subtle push to make the other fighter put weight on one leg and then pulverizes the thigh with his legendary low kick.

Here's the video:

Harrison's technique is sneaky, subtle, and absolutely damaging. He rarely ends a combination without the intention of destroying a limb. Kicking your opponent's leg while his full weight is on it can render that leg useless. His sneaky way of goading his opponent to push back and put weight on the lead foot is something even seasoned fighters won't see coming.

Look to see him do this the next time he enters the ONE Championship circle.
