Muay Thai – Jumping Push Kick

Muay Thai – Jumping Push Kick or Foot Thrust (Kradot Thip)

This section looks at the Muay Thai Jumping Push Kick or Foot Thrust (Kradot Thip). This is a defensive kick meant to keep an opponent off-balance or to block an opponent’s attack. However, the addition of a jump allows the martial artist to hit higher targets (i.e. an opponent’s chin).

All stretches and exercises should be supervised by a trained instructor in order to prevent injuries and to ensure the proper technique is utilized. For additional Muay Thai kicks, visit the main Muay Thai Kicks & Knee Strikes section.
