Kicks There are three levels of kick: low (targets: calf, tigh, back of the knee), medium (targets: ribs and torso) and high (targets: chin, temple, neck). The basic ones are called teh phaen than (basic kicks). They are: teh pa mak (front kick), nep (pecking kick), teh tat (sweeping kick), teh pap nok (kick outside the knee joint), chorakee fat hang (reverse back kick). In muaythai, kicks are delivered with a full swing of the hips and trunk to accentuate the damage. Also is the shin, not the foot, which hits the target. This peculiarity of Thai boxing is highly risky if the kick is not successful: not a few fighters broke a shin bone hitting the tip of the opponent's raised knee.
