Hi guys! How was our product review last time? I actually intentionally write product review articles alternate with Muay Thai learning articles to give you some short break to practice to move before we move on to the new one. And yes today we’re learning another new Muay Thai move. This technique is one of the basic and quite similar to our last video clip lesson a couple months ago. Go check it out right here in this blog of what the similarity is of the two modern Thai boxing techniques.
Today’s move is called the Kow Thad (Kow means the knee and Thad means to cut in this case I think it’s used to describe a movement of moving your body part horizontally like when you’re cutting something with your hand). The Horizontal Knee Kick is used to hit targets like the trunk and the ribcage of your opponent.
To do the technique, extend your right arm out forward to grasp your opponent’s neck like the curving knee kick and use the arm to pull down the neck from left to right while you’re delivering the knee kick. However, you right knee will be raised up but just to the same level of your target and then thrust it sideway to impact to target parallel to the ground from the right to left. Let’s take a look at the clip.
Muay Thai Learning: The Horizontal Knee Kick from YouTube
Don’t forget to go subscribe to the youtube channel if you like the video series.
Right now I want to break down to move a little so you will get a clearer picture of how to do it. First lean forward and over to your left putting your body-weight on the left leg and extend your right arm out forward to grasp your opponent’s neck on his right side. Prepare the knee by lifting your right knee upward to the right side to the same level of height of the aimed target pointing your toes straight down to the floor. And finish it off by pulling down the neck and twist your hip using your left foot at a pivot round to the left opening the heel and flip your right knee over to parallelize to the ground before thrusting it sideway against the target horizontally.
There is also the Lead horizontal knee kick but it will need a lot more practice. If you interested please ask further advice from your Thai boxing teacher so that you will do it right under supervision. Thanks for visiting us today and see you next time for the next video clip. Happy Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Welcome to our weblog. Today’s article is about another Muay Thai Boran or ancient Muay Thai move. A couple months ago I wrote another an ancient uppercut. The move of today is pretty much the same but it only requires you to use both left and right fists to deliver the uppercut. This move is very similar to modern Muay thai boxing today of how to perform an double uppercut. And I believe I got it on one of our modern Muay Thai techniques articles long time ago with video clip from YouTube. So if you have time, I recommend you to check it out also.
Ok, let’s go back to the topic. Today’s move or a pair of uppercuts is called in Thai “Hanuman Thawai Waen”. It is one of the very most famous Muay Thai moves that you can see everywhere, especially in movies because only this move is quite deadly that can knock out your rival instantly if you can do it right but also it is a very beautiful technique.
This attack takes a lot of practice to master it but it will be worth training because it is extremely effective when done with proper timing, force and distance. A pair of Muay Thai uppercuts or Hanaman Tawai Waen is used to deliver fist punch to the opponent’s chin by transferring the force from your knees that are raised with a sudden jump to hit the opponent’s chest. It is mainly used for attack, defense and escape and is best used when your opponent is careless and leaves his guard down. The ancient move is very lethal if done with proper power that is generated from your legs.
To the Attack: Avoid coming too close to your fighter during the fight. If you sense that your opponent is preparing for a pair of uppercuts, react to the act by moving backward to derail his approximation of the distance and escape from those powerful and dangerous punches. In addition to the escape, move your elbows in the front to protect your midsection.
To the Defense: Swing your right leg and kick the boxer’s left leg or hit him with your foot. Follow this up simultaneously with another attacking move.
Alright, I hope you like the move. I really recommend you practice this move and be able to master it in your life time of learning Muay Thai because this is one of the key signatures of Thai Boxing techniques. And trust me once you’re able to use the move effectively, you will love Muay Thai even more. See you next time!

Even though the move of today is one of the basic, it doesn’t mean that it is that easy to perform. All Muay Thai moves need lots of practice to master because in real situation it will be hard to decide which move you should apply. And if you don’t respond quickly enough, it might cause you to lose the fight and get hurt. Anyway, the move of today is our next attack technique with your knee. Check out our previous video articles for other weapons’ techniques.

Muay Thai Learning: The Curving Knee-Kick from YouTube
The move is called “Kow Khong” in Thai (Kow means knee and Khong means round or curve). It is used to impact the targets like your fighter’s thigh and the ribcage. In this move, the knee is raised higher than the target and then it will be brought down and round to impact the target while twisting your body to right left pointing your left foot’s toes backward open heel, stretching all toes of your both left and right foot.
Here is the step by step of how to do the curving knee kick. Start from the basic boxing stance and lean forward to put your body weight onto your left leg. Extend your right arm out forward to grasp the neck of your rival from his right side. Then lean your body to your left to lift your right knee up to the higher level of the focused target. Make sure that your right toes are pointing straight in a line. Then to finish it off, you must twist your body and hip round and over to your left side open your left heel and bring your right knee down in a curving motion to impact the target while pulling down your opponent’s neck with your right arm from the left to right.
You can also perform the curving knee kick with your lead knee but it will require a lot more practice and harder to do. Ask your Muay Thai master for advice on that.
