Technique recap

The teep is a straight push kick with the ball of the foot or heel. It keeps opponents at distance and breaks their rhythm.

3 key details

  • Chamber the knee high before extending.
  • Push through with the hips: it's a push, not a snap.
  • Hands up, recover to stance immediately.
