    Cut Kick: The cut kick is simply a Thai Round kick delivered to the supporting leg of your opponent. Forinstance You can kick your opponent's left leg when he/she attempts a high right kick. You can also catch your opponent's teep or round kick and cut kick their supporting leg. Many times the supporting leg is struck with such force that it is ripped out of under your opponent and they are sent sprawling to the floor. This can knock the wind out of them and also make them much more hesitant to throw any kicks above your waist.

    Teep: Teep means foot jab. It's kind of like a karate or taekwon do front thrust kick but it's definately got its own manner and unique technical execution. It's a lot more lose and relaxed than those kicks mentioned above and sometimes you hop/slide forward so that all of your weight is behind the kick. It's used to push an opponent away or down. However, it also has a sharp impact at the end of the kick that can knock the wind out of you, or put a decent dent in your quad or hip.

    Teep Ka: Don't know

    Side Foot Jab: I think its an extended teep... Same as the regular teep but the hip is extended further forward and the foot is allowed to turn over a bit.

        Teep ka = side teep. A bit slower than the teep but has more horizontal surface area. Generally, it is thrown at the knee, thigh or calf as a counter.

          Is the Teep Ka or Side Foot Jab with the toes pointed in towards the body like the side kick or out like a stomp?

          Is it delivered from the front (foot jab) or rear (push kick).

          I know these techniques, but my instructor has different names for them. I'm just trying to get on the same playing field.

          Thanks for your help.
