Today we’re going to teach you how to do a diagonal knee kick in our Muay thai video lesson. The kick is called Kao Chiyang in Thai which is the literally meaning of diagonal knee. This is one of the very basic knee kicks in Thai boxing arsenal. So here goes.

The targets of this technique are such as thigh, ribcage, or the side of the body. Basically, the move is performed by grasping and pulling the other boxer’s neck with both fists and delivering the knee diagonally hitting the focused target. I’ll break it down for you later but first let’s take a look at the video we made.

There are two ways to perform this muay thai move. First is to use the rear knee to deliver the hit and second is the use the lead knee. Let’s start with the common used one first.

Rear Diagonal Knee-Kick
Start with the boxing stance as usual. Lean forwards shifting your body weighting onto your left foot. And grasp your opponent’s neck with both of your hand. Remember to grasp the neck from the inside not outside to avoid counter-move and be on guard in case there is an elbow attack. Then, throw your right knee diagonally upwards from the right to left keeping the toes stretched straight down. At this point, you will pull the neck downward diagonally from left to right before bracing your left foot against the floor and impacting your knee cap with power to the target.

Lead Diagonal Knee-Kick
This is not easy to do by anyone, but here is the basic instruction. Lots of practice is required. First, with the boxing stance, lean forward but the body weight should be transferred to your right foot. Grasp your opponent’s neck with the same method above pulling it downward from right to left. Now thrust your left knee diagonally upward from left to right forcefully. Hitting the chosen target with your knee-cap.

So that’s it with our video lesson for today. Come back for more of this. I’ll try to upload more Thai boxing videos on YouTube, so you can also go check them all out there. See you next time.

Welcome to Muay Thai Blog! There’s nothing much today to write about actually. But I just talk to my boss and he was asking me to create some more product set to add to the product list. But then I realize since what we really want is to satisfy our customers, so why not let them choose and mix and match the product in the set for themselves.
One good thing about buying Muay Thai items in a set is the price. Here are the product sets we made.

Twins Special Product Set: Starter Kits

The set contains five Boxing items: the gloves, the shin pads, the ankle supports, the hand wraps and the head guard. We provide this item in 4 different colors: black, red, white and blue with a cheaper price comparing to buying each of them one by one. It’s perfect for any new Muay Thai boxer because it is a complete outfit and very easy and convenient saving both time and money. Moreover, these boxing equipment are manufactured by Twins Factory which is very well-known and that alone guarantees the product quality our customer will get.

One more example of our product sets, just to give you the idea of which product can be put in set to lower the price. This is a set of Twins products again. Your idea of product set doesn’t have to be from one specific brand though. Just anything that will come together and make a great looking outfit.

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.

Alright, thanks for sticking around until the end. Come back for more of this useful lesson right here in our blog. I’ll try to update some new ones as soon as I can. By the way, at the mean time, you can also check out my other articles posted in this blog or visit the main site or click here to be directed there. See you next time!

It’s summer time!!! However, I’m living in Thailand right now where it rains like crazy. It’s actually not bad training Muay Thai while it’s raining cuz the temperature is lower and it’s the perfect season to box in Thailand. Anyway, but since it is summer time for you guys so I picked the mix and match outfit that really suit the season.

No other colors will beat orange when it comes to talk about Summer. And here are the boxing equipment I chose to match for you this month. Take a look.

The first one are the ankle supporters from Nationman factory. Nationman is the biggest factory in Thailand that made elastic clothing like ankle supporters or handwraps or elbow supporters. They are famous for it. Actually if you are in Thailand and look for these stuff, the first brand you will see is Nationman. That guarantees the quality of the products they manufacture. What I love the most is the orange color of this pair. If you especially dig bright colors, maybe orange is one of your colors? Oh and by the way, a lot of customers asked me if this item is sold in pair or you have to buy it piece by piece. The answer is yes. Don’t get tricked by other vendors who told me to purchase two items of these kinds of products.

To match with the ankle protectors from Nationman, I picked a pair of Muay Thai gloves from Twins Special. As you can see, orange and fire flame design match perfectly with the season and the orange color of Nationman’s protectors. If you are familiar with Twins products, you will know that the gloves are made of genuine leather so they are quite durable comparing to the price. I will not hesitate to buy any boxing products from Twins if you ask me, since I know the company very well and I trust them. One more great thing is that they are provided in all sizes of weight.
