WATCH: Thai legend Nong-O Hama breaks down the genius trick behind his lethal roundhouse kick

There is little doubt in the mind of combat sports fans that Muay Thai fighters possess one-shot knockout power and the legendary Nong-O Hama has demonstrated it repeatedly throughout his long career.

Since joining ONE Championship in 2018, Nong-O has won 10 out of his 12 bouts and also posted a five-fight winning streak where he finished the likes of English Muay Thai icon Liam Harrison and Brazilian brawler Felipe Lobo.

Developing such power takes a ton of commitment from the fighter's side plus a trainer that understands how they can bring out the best of the athlete during fight camp.

There are many go-to attacks that Nong-O uses, but his most ardent fans and eagle-eyed viewers would notice that one move that he constantly uses is the roundhouse kick to the body.

While it may appear simple, there are a lot of smaller details that could spell the difference between delivering the one-shot knockout.

ONE Championship recently shared on Instagram a short instructional video on how Nong-O throws his signature move with commentator and former fighter Mitch Chilson.
