Knees
Knees are perhaps the most important weapon in muaythai and definitely the most used throughout any fight. Together with elbows, knees are considered lethal weapons and sufficient to demolish an opponent. The correct way to throw the knee is to thrust it straight and upwards, otherwise it will be ineffective and dangerous. The tip of the foot must be always pointing upwards, in order to be turned into pecking kicks (nep) if necessary. Nowadays you'll see plenty of knees action directed at the flanks or the abdomen, especially when fighters cling at each other necks trying to pull down, hoping for a devastating knee in the opponent's face. This seem the most common feature in muaythai matches now.
