Low Muay Thai Kick Can End A Fight Within Seconds

Muay Thai, which was developed on the battlefields during the 15th century, is known for using punches, elbow strikes, clinches, knee thrusts and of course devastating kicks.

Now, even if one cannot kick above the waistline there is a kick at your disposal that can end a fight real fast and I am thinking of the one you could employ in a self-defense situation.

It is the Low Muay Thai kick aimed at the thigh of your opponent.

Yours truly was once at the receiving end of one of these powerful kicks and let me tell you that I couldn’t use the hit leg for about an hour. Seriously!

Coming from a totally different martial art I wasn’t accustomed to pulling up my knee to avoid described predicament. Sometimes you learn the hard way.

As always, to learn a specific technique correctly, please seek advice from trusted and knowledgable instructors.

The following video shows you legendary Dutchman Rob Kaman, who years ago was an incredible fighter and feared even by his Thai opponents.

And another short clip shows you the kick applied in a real MMA/UFC fight:
