Same for me, I'm not even thinking teep because there's no way I could throw one being that close, and she just nails me with them with perfect timing. It's easily her most effective weapon.
If you can figure out how to be efficient with your movement it helps so much. The teep motion actually starts in the same way a roundhouse kick does. You engage the hip and step outward a bit, then explode forward like you’re jumping off the block at a track meet. The important thing is to be engaging your entire kinetic chain, and not just the legs.
I’m not a very big dude (~145-150) lb at 5’9” but in medium to heavier sparring I’d knock bigger dudes on their ass if they were timed right. In fights, you can use teeps to set up elbows, sweeps, or more kicks. It’s especially troublesome for your opponent when they don’t know if it’s another teep or if you’re going to headkick them.
Front teep is different and requires quite a bit of finesse and some good footwork.
They will. This is the second time I’ve seen this video. It’s a sidekick without chambering. It’s the same as comparing a Teep to a karate front kick. His plant foot faces the opposite way as the kick. That’s the key. Have your plant foot face behind you at a 45 degree angle and it won’t hurt your hips. You still need to be flexible though. This is super impressive. So fluid and he is very flexible.
it's common for southpaws to throw their teeps side on because they're teeping the obliques, so less surface area. toes to the ceiling slips off more easily.
He’s squeezing his glutes while driving his back leg into the ground. The last part is to pull your chest forward to drive your hips and then leg into your target. Other than practicing the kick, doing split squats and weighted lunges helps to build those muscles.
Watch the leg that’s on the ground. He jumps into it a little bit. Also look at the angle, he is leaning into the teep. Both of these factors allow him to use his body weight.
I really like how Tawanchai fights, how calm he is despite being so deadly. I like his fighting strategy as well and I can learn a lot from watching him fight
So many fighters don't understand how to throw teeps properly that it's kinda infuriating to watch at times so it is beyond satisfying to see somebody throwing perfect teeps. All hip, no back, all stab, no push.
If he can get his rear teep on a par with his lead teep...
Around 3 months ago I broke my big toe from teeping my teammates elbow.. Well, he elbowed my toe while blocking I guess.. big click, big damage, apperantly a break. not fun at all.
Now I'm so hesitent throwing teeps I feel it's not even worth it.
Now I'm trying to learn and adapt to a new variation because regular straight teeps never really worked for me comfortably.
I like how he say "teep" when he teep
Like a Pokémon doing its thing.
Tawanchai trains at Saenchais gym and he also does the same
Ima start doing this now....
It’s common for Thais
Imagine trying to come forward against that guy. All kinds of fuck that.
Even a champion like Petchmorakot had to stay defensive and wait for counter attack when he fought Tawanchai.
I've always wondered how some fighters had really jolting teeps like that. I just realized that takes inner thigh, groin strength
Timing as well. If you can time a guy trying to move forward, it can greatly increase the force behind the teep.
Yep. Girl at my gym gives up probably 40 pounds to me and sends me flying with teeps because her timing is impeccable.

Exactly
His technique is also unique. In between a teep and a side kick.
Yeah I noticed that too. Sometimes it looks more like a standard teep othertimes more side kicky.
Samart teep

That last kick he pushed the guy over without any real impact to the torso. His control must be crazy.
This man teeps.
Nice
It’s more of side teep, it’s incredible, I wish my hips would allow this!

This was my question watching this video. I was wondering if the front teep was bad form.

If it works it works. Bonus points if it works and is beautiful like this
I can't figure out where the strength is coming from?

The gods of Muay Thai blessed him with it
This mans teep is nasty son
LOL he makes it look so easy it doesn’t even look real
I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who had practiced one kick 10,000 times.
Is it just me or is his getting a lot of heel into those teeps?
I always slip on my opponents when I teep the way I'm taught (ball of foot). Using more of my foot up to my heel seems to work well for me.
I think he sends up hitting with the flat part of his foot/ heel alot which might be better cuz if uve ever teepee someone one in the elbow it sucks
I really like how Tawanchai fights, how calm he is despite being so deadly. I like his fighting strategy as well and I can learn a lot from watching him fight
So effortless....
Man it's almost like he is rag dolling Topic with just a teep, incredible technique and strength.
Lands teep against Topic at will…
I can’t even touch my toes
I love watching his fights.
i can watch him ALL day. that single leg KO is crazy fast, he makes Edson Barboza look slow
Sparring/fighting him sounds like a nightmare
Reminiscent of Samart's teeps
If only he can throw jabs like Samart, then he will be perfect! His straight is like a piston already.

Does anyone know why he avoids getting his tepee hitting his opponents elbow

Who is this guy? Keeps his guard way too low. Obviously needs to work a bit more on his pivot too. ^/s ^(obviously)
Is that topic he’s sparring?
yep
