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.

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!

Twins Special Boxing Gloves: White Pink Leaf

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.

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.

Now let’s get started with our first thai boxing knee move, the straight knee kick or Kow Dhrong. It is the most basic muay thai knee strike that you will have to learn. The move targets the opponent’s abdomen and solar plexus.

There are two ways to do this move. Common one is to use the rear knee for the hit and the other is to use the lead knee. Here’s how to perform the both of them.

To use the back leg from the boxing stance to strike the straight knee kick, start off by the boxing stance and lean forward and transfer your body weight to your front foot assuming your left foot if you are the majority right-handed. Then reach your arms out to grasp your opponent’s neck with both of your hands.

Now it’s time to deliver the kick. Slightly twist your right hip to the left to add more force to the coming knee hit. Raise your right knee up attacking the target and always keep your toes pointing downward making the knee at the sharpness. At the same time of striking, pull your opponent’s neck down. If you do it right, you will feel that as you’re hitting your opponent your body will slightly bend to the back and your left foot heel will be off the ground.

And if you prefer to use the front foot of the stance for this Muay Thai technique, just do the same but transfer your body weight to the other leg and add a bit more power to the hit to make it effective.

Alright, that’s it for today. Hope you enjoy the clip and how to instruction. See you next time right here!

If you ask me, I hate the story. It’s really hard to understand what he’s trying to say in each story and they don’t seem to relate to each other. The last story contains too much superstition which I don’t really impress. However, his choreographing skills got better and better. He always does his own stunt and that makes him a very successful in the career. Not many actors in the world and do what he can. Fighting on a real elephant, for instance. The elephant scene is one of the biggest scene that I recommend you to see.

Actually the balm and oil products are quite important and the must have in Thailand’s household. The uses of the balm are plenty. For example, white balm and red balm.

White Tiger Balm and Red Tiger Balm

These products can be used by inhaling and/or applying onto the skin. Since they contain Menthol, Camphor, Cajuput oil, Clove oil and Mint oil, they can help you relax and clear your nostrils when you feel dizzy or sick and have blockage when breathing. The warmth from the balm will help relieve the pain and sprains. Thais use these for insect bites and bruises.

Num Mun Muay Boxing Liniment 120 cc.

But for boxers, boxing liniment is a must have. We boxers use the boxing liniment or sometimes known as Nam Man Muay or Muay Oil before and after training or fighting. It is believed to provide good relief for any banged-up muscles or shins and bones. This deep healing oil-base product contains Methyl Salicylate, an anti-inflammatory and Menthol. The hot oil will help preventing and treating the pain that can come from any tough and full-contact sports just like Muay Thai Boxing.

If you haven’t tried any of these products, I really recommend you do try once. They might smell weird at the beginning I admit but it will give you the feel of truly Thai boxing feeling. And these products are not that expensive and very useful to have at hand. There are also discounts for product set.

If you have any questions about these products, feel free to leave your question here below or contact us at the store directly.

Today move was given the name “Intra Kwang Jak”. It is just a fancy name from the past and has nothing to do with the move or anything. Non of that matters. So why don’t we get started with how to do and when to apply this ancient technique.

This Muay Thai Boran move is used for facing the coming attack, dealing with the defense and escape of your opponent. It is very accommodating when there is a certain good amount of distance between you and your fighter. Furthermore, this muay thai punch move targets the opponent’s neck and is so used when the neck area is left opened vulnerable. To perform this move, the boxer has to hold up his right fist in front of him. Then soon after, straighten or extend forcefully his right arm making a step forward toward the opponent with his right foot. Now it is the time to deliver the long range downward blow from your right fist onto your fighter’s neck or maybe nose.

To deal with the attack: Move very quickly to thwart the long punch away by moving your straight left arm above your head like when you’re guarding your face and immediately swing your left arm outward to brush the opponent’s right long blow away.

To handle the defense: With powerful force, throw a left swing kick aiming for the boxer’s right rib. If the ancient long punch is being thrown by the left arm (your right side), then instead, swing your right leg to deliver the powerful kick from your right hitting his left ribcage.

Alright I hope you enjoy the article. Come back for more of these ancient moves articles and other related to Muay Thai. Enjoy!
