COUNTER TO LEAD ROUND KICK WITH TEEP

เตะถีบสวน

When the opponent throws a lead round kick, teep the planted leg. Their weight is already committed to the kicking action, so a teep to the hip, thigh, or standing leg disrupts balance completely. Many fighters end up dumped on the canvas. Timing this counter requires reading the kick as it starts, not after it is already in motion.

KEY POINTS

  • 01Recognize the kick early by watching the hips
  • 02Teep to the planted hip or upper thigh
  • 03Drive through the target, not just push
  • 04Stay upright — do not lean back while teeping
  • 05Follow up with a strike as the opponent resets

COMMON MISTAKES

  • ✕Teeping too late, after the kick has landed
  • ✕Teeping the foot and missing the base
  • ✕Leaning back off balance
  • ✕Not committing to the teep

TRAINING DRILLS

  • →Partner drilling with exaggerated lead kicks
  • →Pad work with coach calling the counter on kick cues
  • →Shadow boxing the timing
