Welcome back to our blog! I know most of you must have been waiting for this article to come. Since I’ve learned so far that our Muay Thai lesson article is the most wanted and the most interesting in this blog. And I’m intending to continue it until the end. We’ve finished the Muay Thai Cherng Sok which contains 24 articles of 24 Thai Boxing elbow moves, so check them out if you have not because you will love them.

Anyway, I have started to write a few articles already of another Muay Thai weapon’s move, Cherng Kao or Knee Kicks. Today Muay Thai Knee move is called Chuey Khang. It is basically a double knees kick using both knees as the weapons.

Chuey Khang or Kao Koo (double knees) or to be specific the flying knees kick is one of Muay Thai most powerful weapons in Thai Boxing arsenal. There are similarities in execution with the straight knee action. However, this flying knees kick is executed with a forward leaping motion while both feet will have to be apparently lifted off the ground. The move is perfect to be used for attack or as a counter-move. Before delivering the double knees kick, make sure you have enough clearance space of at least one step apart between you and your opponent to allow the room to leap. With the normal boxing stance, your left leg is in the front, you must take a step forward with your right leg bending both of your knees. Take off the ground, throwing both knees directly to the opponent’s chin with the full force jump. In addition, you can follow this move by some elbow strikes in your rival’s face.

To the Attack: If you are not stuck in a corner, you can avoid the Kao Koo attack by jumping backward and at the same time holding your left arm up to guard your face and head area and keeping your right arm down to protect your torso from the delivered flying knees kick.

To the Defense: With a jump, kick the boxer’s leg with your right foot and deliver a right elbow hit to the boxer’s face.
