Foot-thrust techniques (teep)


Foot-thrust techniques (teep)

Foot-Thrusts also known as Push Kicks or literally "foot jabs" are one of the most common techniques used in Muay Thai. Teeps are different from any other Muay Thai technique in terms of objective to use. Foot-thrusts are mainly used as an offensive technique to block opponent's attacks, get him off-balance and destroy opponent's balance. Foot-Thrusts should be thrown quickly but yet with enough force to knock your opponent off balance.

Straight Foot-Thrust  =   ถีบตรง  =  Teep Dhrong
Sideways Foot-Thrust =  ถีบข้าง  =  Teep Kang
Reverse Foot-Thrust   =  ถีบกลับหลัง   = Teep Glab Lang
Slapping Foot-Thrust   =  Teep Dhob
Jumping Foot-Thrust   =   กระโดดถีบ   =  Gra-dode Teep
