Mastering the Teep: The Most Important Strike in Muay Thai

If boxing relies on the jab to measure distance, blind the opponent, and dictate the pace, Muay Thai relies on the Teep (the push kick) to do the exact same thing at a much longer range.

A fighter with a fast, heavy, and highly accurate front teep can completely shut down an aggressive puncher by off-balancing them every time they attempt to step forward.

How to Execute the Teep

Unlike a karate push kick, the Muay Thai teep is heavily reliant on the hips.

Drill It Relentlessly

When you are using Shot Caller Nak Muay, the app will constantly command you to "Teep." Do not throw it softly. Treat the heavy bag as an encroaching opponent. Jab it with your foot, stop the bag's swing entirely, and re-establish your stance immediately.
