Introducing Horizontal Knee Strikes To Muay Thai Personal Training

Muay Thai Personal Training - Horizontal Knee Strike

21.10.2025

The third hour of my client’s first Muay Thai Personal Training course continued our work in the clinch. Our lesson integrated all the main knee strikes from the previous classes: spear knees, curve knees and introduced the horizontal knee. I also worked more on other arm positions in the clinch, such as the body locks.

The horizontal knee is a great weapon to create space in the clinch, setting up other strikes and defending against incoming knees. In addition to the below rounds, we did some drilling with me just clinching and my client using horizontal knees.

We used the following rounds:

Clinch with only sweeps - plum only

Clinch with only sweeps - collar and elbow only

Clinch with only sweeps - body locks only

Clinch with round knees - body locks only

Clinch pitting spear knees against horizontal knees

Clinch pitting horizontal knees against spear knees
