Muay Thai is known as the “Art of the 8 Limbs,” referring to the eight striking points utilized in combat:

In the following videos we demonstrate both the stabbing knee (khao tang) and the push kick (teep/thip).  The teep, especially, is one of the most important skills in Muay Thai!  The teep is to Muay Thai what the jab is to boxing.  You will live and die by the teep, so study up and never stop practicing.

Note the presence of power movement #3 in these techniques.
