The Roundhouse, the basic Muay Thai kick which uses the shin not the foot as the weapon and has three areas of target, the low kick, which aims for the side of the thigh, calf or behind the knee, the mid kick which aims for the floating ribs and the high kick which aims for the chin, temple or neck.
The Teep, a push kick that can be used for both defense and attack. It is similar to the jab for keeping an opponent at bay. Three basic Teeps are with the ball of the foot, aiming for the stomach hip or thigh as a defense to throw an opponent off balance, the flat of the foot as a push on the chest or stomach, or the heel, a difficult kick requiring good flexibility and aiming for the solar plexus or chin.
