COUNTER TO TEEP WITH CATCH-SWEEP

จับถีบและโยน

When the opponent teeps you, catch the foot with your lead hand, step to the side, and sweep the standing leg with your own kick. The sweep ends with the opponent on the canvas — embarrassing for them and a highlight-reel moment for you. Saenchai is famous for making this counter look effortless. The key is fast hands and quick lateral footwork.

KEY POINTS

  • 01Catch the foot at the ankle with the lead hand
  • 02Angle off to the side immediately
  • 03Sweep the standing leg low with a round kick
  • 04Release the foot as the opponent falls
  • 05Do not chase the fallen opponent unless the referee allows

COMMON MISTAKES

  • ✕Catching too late after the teep has landed
  • ✕Standing directly in front rather than angling off
  • ✕Sweeping without committing to the kick
  • ✕Holding the foot too long and losing balance

TRAINING DRILLS

  • →Partner teep-catch drills at slow speed
  • →Catch-sweep progressions building speed over weeks
  • →Shadow practice for the timing
