Muay Thai Knee Strike tips and tricks. A common mistake when practicing and deploying the Muay Thai knee strike is the direction of force. Often, beginners are focused on getting their knee up high and fast, but then the force of the strike is also directed upward. Use these pointers to practice your knee strike and drive the force of the strike forward and out towards your opponent.
Along with Knee Strikes, here are some of the techniques you'll discover in our Muay Thai Kickboxing Classes at the Dragon Gym in Exton, PA
Footwork- This is the most basic and important part of Kickboxing. Learning how to properly move, close distance and create distance is the essence of all martial arts
Punches- Whether it is a jab, cross, hook or uppercut you will learn the proper way to throw effective hand strikes with pinpoint accuracy
Kicks- High kicks, low kicks and teeps(push kicks) are an effective way to create distance from an attacker and to easily dismantle them at the same time
Knees and Elbows- This is what separates Muay Thai from everything else. No other Martial Art uses Knees and elbows as effectively as Thai Boxing.
Clinch- When it too close to kick or punch is when we use the world famous "Thai Clinch". Pulling in your opponent and controlling their head, neck and shoulders allows you to, in turn, control their whole body.
