Welcome to our sport blog. We are here to talk about Muay Thai stuff, anything that is related to Thai boxing. Today is another Muay Thai move lesson in which I will talk about a Muay Thai attacking move using the weapons of the martial art. And to add to that I borrow the move’s clip from YouTube made by a friend of mine. If you like the boxing clips of short demonstration of the moves, please go to the YouTube page and subscribe to the channel so that when there’s new video added you will be the very first to know.
Today’s move is called “Kow Yown”(Kow means knee and Yown means to throw) see in the clip below of how to perform this attacking move and right down below the clip I’ll break down into step-by-step. The move is used for attacking the abdomen and the solar plexus area. The boxer will raise his knee and thrust it forward to hit against the target in a sliding motion. The difference from other previous knee kicks is that you don’t need to use your hands to grasp your opponent’s neck and pull it down against the knee blow. Let’s take a look at the clip.
Muay Thai Learning: The Knee Bomb from YouTube
Start with the boxing stance as usual. Put the body-weight onto your front leg in this case the left foot. Then you lean slightly forward lifting both of your heels off the ground. Extend your right arm and fist to the front to protect the open area of your body which is your chest and your abdomen while holding your left fist close to the jaw line. Before delivering the knee kick, lean backward before twisting your right hip round to the left and thrust your right knee up using your right knee cap or the upper part of your shin to hit against the target.
You can also use your lead knee or the left knee that is in the front in your Muay Thai stance as the weapon. You need to first step forward with your right foot and you must shift your weight onto that foot. The rest is the same. Instead of your right fist, extend your left arm and fist to protect your midsection while performing the knee kick. Lean backward and twist your hip from left to right and thrust your knee diagonally upward to impact the target.

Today’s move is the Muay Thai knee slap. This is a modern boxing move so if you’re training Muay Thai right now, you might have seen this move before or already know how to do it. The Thai name of this thai boxing technique is “Kow Tob”. It is used for targets like trunk and the ribcage. The focus of the move is that you grasp and pull down the neck of your opponent with your both arms while raising the knee upward to the level of the aimed target before using the inner of your knee joint to impact the target. Let’s take a look at the clip from YouTube.
Muay Thai Learning: The Knee Slap from YouTube
Let me break it down for you step by step of how to do this boxing technique. First start with your boxing stance as usual. The right foot in the back and the left foot in the front you arms and fists are up ready for guarding. When your opponent is in close range, grasp his neck with both of your fists. Transfer your body weight onto your left leg in the front and raise your right knee outward to the side up to the same level of the target like the trunk or the ribcage of your opponent. When performing any knee kick, keep in mind that you have to keep your toes pointed straight down to the ground just like when you’re doing the Horizontal Knee kick. The tip of your left foot will work as the pivot point when you leap yourself up open the heel of your left foot and twist your body and hip over to the left. Before the knee impact the target with the inner part of your knee joint, pull down the opponent’s neck downward in order to block your opponent from escaping.
There is also the knee slap with your front foot or the lead knee slap. To do this you have to shift your body weight to your right foot and raise your left knee out to the side and twist your hip to the right making the ball of your right foot as the pivot and open the heel. Impact the left knee with the inner part to the intended target while pulling down your opponent’s neck downward.

And it won’t surprise me if you about to start to train this sport because last time I check the popularity of this MMA sport never drop but still on the way up.
Maybe the reason is because the fighters have the chance to mix up many fighting techniques from different martial arts and use them to fight against the opponent make the sport much more fun. The fighters are allowed to use the grappling technique and that explains why the gloves are called grappling gloves and you can see the fingers after putting them on. But if you really need to use your fingers that bad in grappling the opponent, why need the gloves? Why can’t you just fight with the bare hands or just using the hand wraps?
The reason that gloves are crucial is because of the safety. It is possible that you might get cut in the hands while fighting and it will affect the fight duration. So be able to fight with your full efficiency you must be in 100% good state. No cuts or injuries of the hands should come in between the fight.

Welcome to our MuayThaiSport’s blog! Right here you will find interesting articles that are all related to Muay Thai and other fighting sports like boxing or MMA. But today’s article is one of our usual, the muay thai moves article. I have read many books about Muay Thai and some of them are things that I always want to share with you like Muay Thai Boran’s techniques that you’re going to read about in this article for example. Feel free to leave us suggestion down below on what you would want to see in our blog.
The Thai name for this move is “Luang Dan Hera”. It is one of the combination moves that require you to use a punch and a kick at the same time. However, last time it was a punch and a kick combination, “Pajon Chang San”. The difference is that today’s move will use your knee as a weapon to deliver the kick instead of your leg.
Like the Pajon Chang San or the punch and kick combination, the move is used for either attack, defense or escape. It will be best used while there are a small distance between you and your opponent. You will have to throw a right swing fist to your fighter’s left jaw and at the mean time swing your left knee upward and diagonally to hit your opponent’s right ribcage. It is best used when you notice that your fighter leaves his guard down leaving himself vulnerable for the move.
To the Attack: The opponent must shield himself from the fighter’s blows by wiping away the potential punch with his left arm. And he should also move quickly, sway towards the right side while raising his elbow to guard the ribs from the knee kick.
To the Defense: Twist your body slightly to your right and put your body weight onto your right leg while using your left knee to strike the opponent’s right rib. The counter-attack is very similar to the one in Pajon Chang San or the punch and kick combination move but instead of using your shin or foot in the kick, you use your knee as the weapon.
Thanks for being with us until the end. Next month we will definitely talk about more thai boxing moves. Just a thought: what is your favorite Muay Thai move and why? See you next time!
Welcome to our sport blog! Today I want to continue with the product for Muay Thai trainer. But actually all Muay Thai boxers of all levels are also considered trainers. Since you cannot stop training at all so I’m pretty sure all of you must own at least a pair of this item or if you are still new with the whole sport thing I recommend you get ones soon.
Training bag gloves or bag mitts or bag gloves are boxing gloves that are extra cushioned created to use on training with other punching bags. The gloves are slightly lighter than sparing gloves. There are two types available depends on how you like it. First is the open thumb style like the one in the photo below and the other is the full thumb style. But both of them allow you to move your thumb quite freely making training bag an enjoyably fun time.
I chose this very item from Top King because I really dig its look. Very modern that really suits some people lifestyle. The product is the open thumb bag gloves type with and elastic wrists for the ease in wearing. They are sold in 2 sizes M and L. If I have to compare Top King’s bag gloves to the others from other brands, I would say that Top King’s cushion is quite thicker which is a good idea since these kinda gloves won’t last very long if they have slightly thin cushion especially if you do a lot of bag training. Click on the link below the picture to check them out in our store now. These are ones of our best quality products we want to recommend to our customers. Why not be the first who own these beautiful bag mitts in your boxing gym?
Just a thought: what is your favorite brand of boxing bag gloves? What do you think of them? And How long you got to use them before changing or buying a new pair? Please leave your comments right down below.
