With Pacific Sports Muay Thai shorts you can practice all types of Muay Thai kicks. These shorts also help in enhancing your Muay Thai kicks. Few commonly practiced kicks are given below.
Teep (front kick)
Generally, in almost all martial arts, the front kick is the very first kick that is taught. It is simple to learn and it is also considered by many as the most effective of all kicks. The teep kick can be delivered without a jump or with a jump. When the teep kick is performed without a jump it is known as “teep”, while when it is performed with a jump it is known as a “kradot teep”. A jump is executed to close the range or if the opponent is taller. Both teep and kradot teep can be used to strike or to push the opponent. If the ball of the foot is used then striking is done, while if the sole of the foot is used then pushing is done. Striking is performed to hurt the opponent, while pushing is performed to disbalance the opponent. Striking is known as “trong” and pushing is known as “top”.
So, there can be four main variations of the teep kick.
—Teep Top. Without any jump, the sole of the foot is used to push the opponent.
—Kradot Teep Top. With a jump, the sole of the foot is used to push the opponent.
—Teep Trong. Without a jump, the ball of the foot is used to strike the opponent.
—Kradot Teep Trong. With a jump, the ball of the foot is used to strike the opponent.
A popular sub-variation of the above is to switch the legs. For example, the legs may be switched, so as to feint with one leg as if performing a knee strike, while the switched leg performs a teep, a strike or a push, with or without jumping.
Pacific Sports Muay Thai shorts are made of polyester-silk or polyester-satin and are very lightweight, which helps to perform these kicks with speed, as there is almost no weight of the fabric on the body.
Tae Tat (roundhouse kick)
Tae tat is another popular kick in Muay Thai. You can practice kicking with one leg successively to increase speed and power. You can also use both legs alternately or in any combinations so that both legs are practiced equally.
You may move your lead leg a step forward, then pivot on it at a 45 degree angle, while bringing up the knee of your rear leg, turning your hip, snapping the knee and striking the shin of the rear leg to the body of your opponent. Depending upon how high your raise your knee, you can strike the head, body, or the legs of your opponent.
Pacific Sports Muay Thai shorts have split sides that allow full range of motion in tae tat. The side splits also have reinforced stitching so it will not tear under stress.
Tae Tad (side kick)
The tae tad is also extensively used in Muay Thai, usually in combination with other kick. It can be used to fake or to strike as per the combination used.
Pacific Sports Muay Thai shorts have “Muay Thai” sewn in Thai lettering which provides a strong connection with your passion. The material and sewing are of high-quality, so it will not tear or fade over time.
Tae Khao (axe kick)
This is a powerful kick as the power comes from gravity. The leg is raised upwards and then the heel is powerfully brought down on the opponent like an axe. The downward motion is supported due to gravity that adds to the power in the kick. The area targeted by the kick is the top of the head or the shoulder blades of the opponent.
Pacific Sports Muay Thai shorts are extremely easy to maintain. You can wash them by hand or by machine. You can dry them in the sun or in a dryer. Keeping two sets of shorts is recommended, so that there is no interruption in your practice, since while one is being washed, you can use the other one for your practice.
Tae Klap Lang (spinning heel kick or wheel kick)
A single spin can be performed on the lead foot while the rear foot is lifted up to strike the opponent with the heel. Multiple spins may also be done to increase speed and power.
Pacific Sports Muay Thai shorts feature an elasticated waistband, which helps to keep the shorts in place during all the fast spins. Additionally, there is also an inner drawstring to make fine adjustments that can give you a perfect fit.
Tae Chiang (question mark kick)
The kick starts as a teep (front kick) but then redirects as a tae tat (roundhouse kick). Done proficiently, it can trick the opponent into thinking it as a front kick but getting hit by a roundhouse kick.
Pacific Sports Muay Thai shorts are designed especially for Muay Thai, and they are perfect for fluid footwork, and all types of kicks, including dynamic knee strikes, and all types of kicking combinations.
