At the camp where I train at, we have 15 kinds. But I don't know what are the standard names for each in english and in thai... Care to help?
the only ones I know are that a front push kick is called a teep. a jumping push kick is a (not sure of spelling) kradot teep. side push teep is (again not sure of spelling) khang teep and jumping side push kick is kradot khang teep. and a back push kick is a (once again not sure of spelling) krablangteep. Also a teep from a switched stance is a (spelling again lol!) thoy teep and a power teep is a (spelling) teep kwan. Hope this helps I'm pretty sure most of the spelling is wrong lol I havn't seen them written down only spoken by my trainer
that gives me a question actually, does anyone know if "plum" refers to a knee or a clinching technique thats been botherin me for a while always forget to ask my coach
Plumm means "to clinch" . While it's used to refer specifically to the double neck tie position, it can be used for any upper body clinch.
While waiting for the Thai-linguistic crew to arrive (slip, nk, khun kao, sry if i left someone out), let me just say ROFL!! Funniest post i read lately! And informative too High five twitch_88!
ahhhh yes i thought it reffered to the double neck tie as the last time I heard it it was while anderson silva was clinching the hell out of rich franklin lol, wish I could be that destructive in close! haha cheers Al_bundy lol yeh my coach is Thai and while he tried to say them as slowly and clearly as possible I still wouldnt have the first clue about how to spell them! yeh i'm sure some of the people with more knowledge of the Thai language will be able to make the neccessary corrections and add to my list. Pretty interesting thread in my opinion though always good to know the true names of techniques!
In all honesty, I've never learned the Thai terminology for all the different kick variations. I've learned "Teep" (Push Kick) and "Dtae" (Round Kick). I once asked my Thai coach to teach me the proper terminology because I wanted to know the correct (traditional) names for MuayThai's techniques, but he just laughed and said "Call them what you want to call them." I know there are other terms used, such as "Kaang" (sp?) for round kicks. I think "kaang" is a reference to kicking with the shin. But if you do an internet search, there are some MuayThai websites that have lists of Thai terminology for various techniques.
heres what ive got... sorry if spelling is off dtae chiang - diagonal up round kick dtae tad - horizontal round kick dtae tawad - downward diagonal round kick teep neb - snapping front kick teep drong - pushing front kick teep khan - side kick teep klablang - spinning back push kick dont know if this helps, need to get firecobra on to clear it up!! matt
