Muay Thai "8 points of contact"

Hello all! It's Marcus again hope you have enjoyed the past few post i have share with you all. And again today I will be sharing about the last 2 "points of contact" in Muay thai the legs, or rather, kicking known as "Te" in the Thai Language.


The kicking in Muay thai usually needs the full body rotation.


Below is the different kicking techniques that I am going to share, followed by their Thai romanization.



Straight Kick(Te trong)
Roundhouse Kick(Te tat)
Diagonal Kick(Te chiang)
Half-Shin, Half-Knee kick(Te khrueng khaeng khureng khao)
Spinning Heel Kick(Te klap lang)
Down Roundhouse Kick(Te kot)
Axe Heel Kick(Te khao)
Jump Kick(Kradot te)
Step-Up Kick(Khayeop te)


The kicking in muay Thai can be very deadly as when a person is trained hard enough he can even break a banana tree with his bare legs. Below is a video on breaking a banana tree using pure leg kicking and of course years of shin conditioning.

Well this week, I will be covering about a few simple things such as : Rules, Point System.

So we shall start with the rules!

Next up, let us discuss about the point system.

Basically in MMA, there is a ten-point system. There would be 3 judges giving points to each fighter with the winner gaining 10 points and the loser with 9 points or less. If the round is a draw, both fighters would receive 10 points. The fighter with the highest points after the entire fight, would be the winner.
