Learn how to throw a Muay Thai body kick correctly. This video features Ann Denlangu teaching how to throw the basic Muay Thai kick. While there are some variations among fighters, the basic principles of the kicks remain the same.
It is important to understand that Muay Thai kicks can be devastating if you land them correctly. It is important for you to focus on trying to work on your technique first, before you focus on power.
One of the keys to perfecting the kick is turning your hips. Not turning your hips over is the number one mistake that I notice people make when they kick.
Another common mistake that people make when throwing a kick is not to return to a balanced position. I often see people throw kicks and become off balance when they kick.
Special thanks to Ann Denlangu for teaching this technique.

Wow. The hip drill was a subtle detail that I’ve been missing. My coaches instruct us to elevate and pivot on our toes, I really like the idea of just spending some time breaking the kick down into steps.
Yup me too brah, my kicks are five times stronger!
If you can manage to pivot your foot 180 degrees with the hip movement you'll send heads flying and ribs caving
@@0-zon3player66 i cant do well at home, cuz i just turn myself around like that.
Same. Just found this and can't wait to try it out in the gym for warm ups
yea same
I spent a whole 10 minutes watching and rewatching the hip drill. Thanks!
Glad to hear that. Make sure you keep practicing!
same here👌
MAUY THAI IS LIFE
Same bro
Damn that dude has one masterful kick, that technique is perfect!
i thought the exactly the same. i cant wait to learn this kick from scratch
I want to say that after practicing the hip isolation idea that I got from this video before my Kun Khmer class , the coach said my kick had improved since the previous class. Thanks a lot!
Glad to hear that the tips paid off. Keep it up!
@@Muaythaipros They truly have! Thanks again!
I've been a fan of Muay Thai for sometime now and have even done a little training while on vacation in Phuket, I'm really liking the breakdown of this kick. Of all the types of kicks in Martial Arts, Muay Thai kicking is my favorite, uncomplicated yet very devastating kicks. Thanks
Yeah muay thai kick is greatest...i training that kick everyday.sakad,saencai,buakaw is my idol
I usually teach people to kick without them kicking at first. it's nice to know I'm not full of shit!
Lol
I usually teach people to kick...with their fists.
I'm totally not bullshiting right now.
😂😂
This is a great breakdown of the technique Stephen. Especially the part about turning the hips. Thanks
Cuz he is thai guy
I remember doing that same exact kick and I thought to myself "aliezah that is incorrect" than watching this again. Boost up my confidence.
Aliezah Juarez uve got such a beautiful name man

This video was incredibly helpful in understanding the fundamentals, can’t wait to try these tips on the heavy bag. Thanks!
Awesome channel! Thanks for the useful tutorial. I'm just a begginer but want to keep practicing and improve my kicks!
I just started Mauy Thai like a it will be 2 months soon but I just can’t get good kicks but this video helped a lot thank you.
Glad to hear it. Keep on working at it and you will have great kicks with enough practice!
Great video. I'm going to practice this hip drill everyday for 20 minutes now. Thanks 😊
Great video lads. You have explained this very clearly. Many thanks.
It takes a lot of practice to turn your hip properly. Thanks for instruction on how to move back to right position. ✌️
Thanks so much for the breakdown. Thai’s are the baddest dudes in the world. They seem like such a humble and friendly culture as well. God bless you guys.
Hip isolation part seems to a good idea especially for ab beginner like me who had been struggling with my kick.
Very useful video! Great job guys !
This video just helped me out tremendously like I was having so much trouble understanding kicking but that hip drill just changed my whole game
Appreciate the comment. Glad to hear you are using it. 🙏🏼
I’m just getting into Muay Thai and this tutorial is great!
CHeers!
Crazy technique. The form was very good. In Specific the one where the kick was thrown at you, and you use your body to leverage out the maneuver of the kick. Subscribed!
i watch this everyday to pracitise thank you so much for this video
Thank you my kicks are horrible but after trying this just once it felt much better
Great to hear that feedback! Cheers for the comment
Good job guys, this serie of videos reminds us that fighters need to get back, no and then, to the basics of muay thai
Agreed! Thanks for the comment.
Nice technique! Thanks
Thanks for this brother.
Thank you very much for the hip drill. Been struggling to throw a perfect kick. Thank you 🙏🏽
Glad to hear that it helped!
Thanks for the video, this helped me a lot
After watching this I realize why they would swing your arm down I used to do that a lot and hated that I did that for so many years I thought I was practicing bad technique but
now I see why it makes a difference
Very nice breakdown, I can add this to the exercises that my coach gave me.
Glad to hear that. Keep on working.
Very helpful thanks
Lots of success to you guys! Great video an channel.
Cheers!
Usually I'm eating chicken nuggets when watching this kind of videos. It makes it more fun.
Nothing wrong with Chicken nuggets when you are watching TH-cam vids. I enjoy it myself.
Thanks Stephen, love your stuff. I recently bought your 3 Muay Thai books and I study them every night! I'm determined to become a pro fighter :)
Thank you for the support. Good luck with your journey and remember to master the basics.
Where can i get these ebooks?
Update?
Awesome video bro
This vid helped me a lot!! I never knew how to properly throw a body kick but now I've been landing it recently during my sparring sessions😁
Very happy to hear that! Keep on perfecting it
Great teaching lesson.
very good video and great tips! Thanks!
Fantastic video, as always. Can't wait to train at Sinbi in December when we're in Phuket.
Cheers mate!
Phuket fuck it
Thank you. Very useful.
That was good man!! ✌😊
excellent instruction, thank you!
Thank you for the comment!
Just getting back into thai boxing after years out of the gym and this was super helpful
Glad to hear that. Cheers!
Thankyou so much...you can never repeat something too much... I got so confused with left hand down, righ hand up leg up right hand up...I looked like an octopuss in a washing machine and my coach lost patience 🤗so...secret practice required before next lesson🤪Good thing about TH-cam...its very patient.💞💞
Thanku for this brother
Excellent!
Nice mannn love it broo
😎😎😎
Explosive muaythai kick 🙏
Struggling with this as a beginner, will put the hip into action tonight and see if that helps!
Beautiful!
It's helpful thx
Thank you!!!
Best MT kick tutorial on TH-cam
Thank you 🙏🏼
thank you so much
thx for this
I find the best way to learn any physical activity is to break it down into multiple movement and then assemble them as you get better at each movement you can then determine what part of the movement needs improvement
Nice. Also works for memorizing long speeches or songs
Three months in..... I know the kick should be somewhat intuitive... But my body still wants to say no to the torquing. But this video is a great help. Thank you.
It takes years, and I know a lot of people never develop it properly. So keep at it!
Thank you straight to the point and helped me kick hardee
As someone who doesn’t have access to a Real Muay Thai gym in Canada this helped me a lot as I love the sport but am unable to get any real training.
Take a trip to Thailand and it will solve all your problems!
Thanks, great
*When you learn about the culture behind Muay Thai and the reason they fight the way they do, the movements, the counters, then you really understand the technique*
Great video. 7th dans in karate always say go back to the basics. You are teaching a strong foundation. Thank you. Now i have the opposite question. Before i saw Om Bak i thought muat thai was mostly leg kicks and elbows. But now i think it is much deeper. Can you show some of the other lesser know. techniques?
Look up Saenchai and you can see a full range of techniques used in Muay Thai.
Thanks this helped
👊🏻
Thanks good video! I'm learning to do the kick! Are there more basics videos?
Check out some of the other kick video tips on our channel.
I train with that guy in la! Beast !!!!
Those tree trunk legs on the thay guy..
You should see how hard he kicks when he used to fight. One of the most explosive kickers i've seen.
@Banter Bulldogge if you lean the way you're supposed to it won't hit your face that's a matter of understanding the move and practicing
Nice video!! Where can I get that tank top from? Serious question.....
This guy has the perfect form. You know most of them who teaches kicks begin to kick and leave their head open and they're the ones saying always cover your face but after kicking their guard is lower than before.
That check had to hurt tho lol
Thanks
In Netherlnds we say hoedt u voor. De lage trappen ,be aware of the lowe kicks
For me a key point was to focus only on the body and hip movement and let the kick come naturally with the momentum, like a whip.
Love kickboxing
Thanks for Helping me in 2024!😅❤
Hi guys, you are both amazing trainer! Do you have your own gym that we can train with you to perfect my skills during my next trip to Thailand? Thanks Allan
Hey Allan, Ann is currently a trainer at Sinbimuaythai and also trains in Norway for part of the year. Cheers.
where does he train in norway?
Ann, is in Nak Muay ,at Lillestrom.
this is so good
Came here for Muay Thai but didn't expect to see Clint "the Moffats" as well.. hahaha
Okay got it salsa 💃 hip thrust !
Decent video. You are getting more experienced every day. I would like to ask. I am right hand leg dominant, writing kicking etc. My left kicks are lacking a lot. I can do whatever I want with the right leg but I can't seem to feel and throw left kicks good yet. I'm sure it will be better if I practice more , I thought maybe you have any practice ideas for orthodox players to kick with the left
I got the same problem! But my trainer told me that kicking with you less dominant leg will be much easier, because it is easier 'to let it go'. Atleast for me it is. The dominant leg has often tendencies like using too much power instead of the right technique , because you're used to using that leg. Your left leg will start with a blanco canvas..... enjoy the ride!
Best thing that happened to my left kick was injuring my right leg after a fight. I wasn't able to kick for a 2 months with my right leg, and used my left kick only. That made my left kick my favorite weapon. Practice using both legs, but if you have a weaker side, emphasize that side.
which is correct?
do you step forward or step diagonally forward?
do you kick with bend leg or straight leg at the point of contact?
thx
So much better than fightips
Хорошее видео
nce bro
That block with the hand on 3:31, I've been told not to do that. Can i do that? I mean during sparring?
Yoo thats my coach! Ann Denlangu
i would love to be his students
🔥🔥🔥
Shoulders and torso follow through with hip as arm whips back?
ty
I have 1 kid very good on boxing n elbows but it seems like he cannot understand the body mechanics of a kicks. I have train her part by part like you. But still not doing it wrong. I'm stressed. Any suggestions?
I see some Thai fighters like Ann keep their kicking leg almost straight when doing the kick, other fighters I see almost fully chamber the leg when doing the kick. Is there any reason for that or is the straight leg just more traditional? Cheers.
Every fighter will have a slight variation in terms of how their leg looks. You will notice that in Kickboxing they tend to keep the leg bent, while Muay Thai fighters they have a straighter leg.
Wouldn’t stepping out with your lead foot make a better torque for a more powerful kick?
Aré you suppose to make contact with the middle of your shin or the side?
So is the toes coming up an after effect of the explosive hip turn? Rather than focusing on turning with the toes first then the hips?
You cant turn your hips like he does in this kick without turning your foot around otherwise your knee would snap as the knee does not rotate. And in order for your foot to rotate it cant be flat as their would be to much friction between it and the floor which would prevent your foot from turning, therefore the foot must come up onto the balls of the toes in order to turn.
MT John Leguizamo and Mexican Elvis are gonna drive the local girls wild with those swiveling hip moves.
I love mautai
Muay thai not mautai lmao 😂
Ever get drunk and think u can kick like this? I do haha
Dont forget to rotate the foot and lift it as well rotate and lift !
1. step muay thai: Learn to master continioing balancing control of body. Step 2., repeat step 1.
whats he music? its so good
