How to Use the Teep Like a Jab - Muay Thai, JKD and the Push Kick

Описание: The teep push kick is a fundamental technique in a Muay Thai boxers toolbox and today we're looking at it from a slightly different angle as to why it's such an effective weapon.

The JKD principle of longest tool to nearest target (or longest weapon to closest target) is illustrated perfectly by the teep push kick and when looked at from this perspective it can help us to use the kick in an increasing number of scenarios.

Intercepting your opponents attack and controlling range are both closely related to the longest weapon closest target principle and the teep can be used to accomplish both of these things.

Whether there are better weapons at a fighters disposal to achieve the same goal depends on the nature of the combat sport and additionally, the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent.

One thing that isn't up for debate is the effectiveness of the teep push kick and that every martial artist should develop it some degree.
