Kickboxing – Low Kicks

The leg kick, or “low kick,” is one of the most fundamental and commonly used weapons in Kickboxing. Low kicks are designed to attack the legs of your opponent, which, over time, can cause your opponent to slow down significantly and reduce the power and speed of their offense and defense! The key to low kicks is finding the proper “angle of the attack,” as well as timing of the low kick. We must first distract the opponent with our strikes such as punches to the guard in order to successfully land the the low kick with power. We will go over the outside low kick as well as the inside low kick this week!

We will study the mechnaics of the teep and push kick, as well as look at theory and practical uses for this weapon. Both of these weapons are designed to maintain/find distance, off balance an opponent or disrupt opponent’s attack, as a set up for other weapons, and used to close the distance as well. When we use these terms, we refer to the lead leg as the “teep,” and the rear leg strike as the “push kick.” Learn how to use this strike on offense as well as defense to control your space!
