Hi and welcome to our blog. Today Learning video clips is our second modern Muay Thai knee move. I hope you loved the previous one and want to continue learning this one. I apologize if you don’t like our video clips but I think they are quite ok for newbie to get to learn what to moves are like. Perhaps you can help us creating muaythai demonstrating videos? How about that? The videos I used are from YouTube and these are created by a friend of mine. You can go straight to the YouTube channel and subscribe so check out his latest boxing video clip.
The move as you will see in the clip below is called the diagonal knee kick or Kow Chiang (Kow means knee and Chiang means diagonal). This move requires you to use your both hands to grasp and pull your opponent’s neck downward while you’re raising your knee upwards diagonally to impact the un-escaping target which can be the thigh, the rib-cage or the side of your opponent’s waist.
Muay Thai Learning: The Diagonal Knee Kick from YouTube
To break the move down, there are two ways to do this technique. First is to use your rear knee as the weapon and the other is to use your lead knee which is a bit harder and require more practice.
The Rear Diagonal Knee kick is started by leaning forward and transforming your body weight onto your left foot which is in the front of your boxing stance. Start grasping your opponent’s neck with both of your firm hands. Deliver the knee kick by thrusting your right knee (from the back) diagonally upward from right to left pointing all toes straight down to the ground. At the time of impacting the knee, you must pull down your opponent’s neck from left to right and bracing your left foot against the floor and impact the aimed target with your knee cap.
The Lead Diagonal Knee Kick is slightly different because you’re using your left knee to deliver the kick from the basic boxing stance that the left foot is in the front. Lean forward but this time put your weight onto your right foot and grasp your opponent at the neck and pull it down from the right to left while you’re trying to thrust your left knee diagonally upwards from the left to right. Keep practicing to master the lead knee diagonal knee kick.
Hope you like the clip. And don’t forget to click like or subscribe to the channel. Come back for more of this next time. See you.
Welcome to our weblog! I hope you’ve been looking forward to our article to come. I’ve tried to alternate the articles between reviewing new products in the market or any Muay Thai equipment that I think that you might be interested and Thai boxing lessons of Muay Thai Boran and modern Muay Thai moves that we got in short video clips.
Today’s article is another great Thai Boxing gear review. I chose this pair of Muay Thai gloves as you can see below because this item is one of our best sellers so far. They are my favorite actually and I believe these are the best female boxing gloves even made by twins. Check them out!
They are made in 5 different sizes from 8 oz to 16 oz for you to choose. If you don’t know which size you want yet, try to think of what you want these gloves for whether for training or for fighting. Go for the lighter one for the real fight and the heavier one for training to help building up muscles and strength.
If you are a female fighter, I want to ask you something. I want to know what brand your favorite Muay Thai gloves is and what size you usually wear. They don’t have to be a pair of Thai boxing gloves from Twins Special like these ones. And except for this pair, Twins is not my favorite brand either because what I really dig right now and am crazy about is Top King’s gears. I will talk about them later.
Anyway, please do not hesitate choosing or buying any Muay Thai equipment from Twins Special because it is and still will be one of the very famous and successful Muay Thai boxing factories from Thailand. And I’m quite sure that you won’t be disappointed in the product you choose.
Just a thought: what is the next Thai boxing item you want us to review next time?
Thanks for being with us today and come back for more of interesting muaythai product reviews right here. And by the way, don’t forget to check out our learning lessons in this very same blog. See you then!
Welcome back! This is time to learn some new moves! How are you with the previous Muay Thai move I talked about last month? I hope you can still remember it. Today I want to talk about another ancient Thai boxing technique. But it’s not that ancient since we still use this technique in modern Muay Thai. Let’s check it out!
The action is best used when there are only a small space between you and your opponent. The punch is perfectly used in close range. And as you deliver an uppercut, don’t forget to transfer the power right from your leg because the force will be driven through the lifting of your legs through your body and then fists. Make the uppercut move from the inside because it is easy to counter attack the move if you use the outside uppercut because you will be left widely open while you’re bringing the arms down to gain the power for the punch. To do this Muay Thai move, you have to step toward your opponent to the certain range that is close enough to easily bring the punch upward to strike the opponent’s heart, chest, and abdomen or rib area.
To the Attack: Thwart the boxer’s right arm with your left arm and suddenly twist your upper body to the right to prevent the full blow to your chest or abdomen area. Don’t forget to guard the left side of your ribcage with your left elbow holding up on guard.
To the Defense: Use your left knee to hit the boxer’s ribs or midsection. If the opponent uses his left hand instead of the right to throw the uppercut, you alternate it by using your right knee to perform this counter attack to the move.
Thanks so much for visiting us today. Don’t forget to check back for more lessons at our blog. Next time I’m thinking of writing about modern Muay Thai move, one of those we got on video. Check it out next month because I think it will be a good demonstration. Feel free to leave your comments down below about this lesson and our blog. See you next time!
Welcome to our sport blog! How are you guys today? I’ve been very happy today and I hope you are the same. Anyway, today a friend of mine came to ask me about a boxing gear that he’s thinking really hard whether to get it or not since it’s one of those fighting equipment that you don’t really need to have at home because it’s quite expensive or you can’t play or use it alone.
The item is the body protector. It can go by many names like chest protector, chest gear, or chest shield. It’s not only been used in Muay Thai training but also in many martial arts like boxing, kick boxing or taekwondo that need full contact fighting. You use this gear in fighting training and obviously you need to have someone who can wear this to train with you. So that’s why it’s not quite normal to just buy the item without having a friend to train with.
The chest protector is made by Twins Special, one of the very famous Muay Thai equipment manufacturers. The product is made of good quality foam padding and 100% leather cover to guarantee the long use. They come in many colors but mostly are black like in the picture, and red and blue. You might see this very same type of product but a lot cheaper in eBay or some places else but just so you know that you get what you pay in this Muay Thai world. The prices do vary depending on the quality of each boxing product.
So for those of you who have a house gym or have a friend or partner who you can train the fighting art with, I really recommend you to have one of these. If you dig this, just click on the link right under the photo to be directed to the website. Remember this item is not only good for Muay Thai training but also other Martial Arts that involve kicking and punching like boxing or kickboxing or taekwondo. If you’re about to or thinking of having one of this, go for it. Don’t think that it’s not the time because Twins Special won’t let you down. Thanks for visiting us today and don’t forget to come back for more about Muay Thai stuff right here.
