Putting the teep under fire

06.08.2025

Wednesday night's 1.5 hour Muay Thai class concentrated on what has become the sport's most important weapon, the teep. This spear-like kick works along similar strategic and tactical lines as the jab in Boxing, but it's delivery as a push-kick is not an exact equivalent. The teep gauges range, defends distance and sets up the widest variety of attacks.

The lesson was divided up into these 3-minute constraints-led games and specific sparring exercises:

1. One-for-one teeps

2. One-legged teeps (left kick)

3. Ditto (right kick)

4. Teeps only sparring

5. Teep vs catching kicks

6. Ditto

7. Teep vs any counter

8. Ditto

9. Teep vs any attack

10. Ditto

11. Clinch sparring

12. Full Muay Thai

The lesson finished with a stretching workout including PNF stretching.
